Joel Pietrzak (co-creator/writer/performer) is one half of the writing/comedy/hosting duo, KAJOEL. He is excited that he and Miss Kales are making their cabaret debut, as both a writers and performers, with the premiere of their new show, Mickey’s Greatest Hits: A Raunchy Cabaret. Joel attended the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he received a BFA in Drama. He has performed stand-up and sketch comedy (with sketch group Terrorbird) at several venues in New York City. He has also written sketches, jingles and parody songs for the currently-on-hiatus podcast Rodham Thoughts, a political/pop culture talk show created and hosted by KAJOEL. Thanks to his partner in parody (and many other things), Miss Kales! We did it, dude!
Miss Kales (co-creator/writer/performer) is the *better* half of the writing/comedy/hosting duo, KAJOEL. She is excited to be making her cabaret debut as a writer and performer in Mickey’s Greatest Hits: A Raunchy Cabaret. Miss Kales was co-host and producer of the currently-on-hiatus but hopefully soon-to-be-revived podcast Rodham Thoughts, for which she wrote original jingles and political parody songs. She holds a BA in feminist philosophy and Russian politics from New York University, and has a background in vocal music and studio art. Miss Kales would like to thank her creative partner, Joel (dude!), and everyone who believed in a small-town girl refusing to give up on those big city dreams #WhenYouWish
Leanne Troutman (co-creator/performer) is the pride of Buffalo, NY. Lies! (That’s Christine Baranski.) Leanne received a BFA from Niagara University, and she’s thrilled to be using it for something other than job interviews. Previous credits include three years as a contributing writer/performer with the Terrorbird sketch comedy troupe and getting typecast as a demon on the audio dramas Otherworldlies, and The Gray Area. Follow her on Instagram @tequileanne. She’s never posted on it and she thinks that’s beautiful.
Alain Pierre (performer) is a SAG-AFTRA/Actor's Equity stage, TV, commercial, and voiceover performer who works in both Los Angeles and New York. He studied at Groundlings after attending the Webster University Conservatory of Fine Arts.

Since coming to NYC, Alain has become a member of Story Pirates and starred in the world premiere of What Passes For Comedy. He’s also trained at Stella Adler and Upright Citizens Brigade and performed sketch comedy at The PIT.
Janna Emig (performer) is a Film/TV assistant editor based in Brooklyn. When she was a kid, she and her friends used to cover the TV with blankets and make their parents watch them lip sync the entire movie of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. (So, basically, she’s got this.) Janna is also a graduate of the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she received a BFA in Drama.
