2019 Icebreaker Comedy entertainment!!
Anji Stubbs:
Founder of the label Black Sheep Comedy, hosting events, contests & national headliners all over the state of Alaska. Anji Stubbs knows no stranger and will figure out how to call your mom to prove it,trust me. Anji was a finalist during the Clean Comedy Challenge in Pasadena, California held at the world famous ICE HOUSE Comedy Club. Her comedy style is “to repeat the same story until you laugh, assuming you didn’t hear it those first 12 times”
Matt Burgoon:
A native of Minnesota, Matthew moved to Alaska from Los Angeles to pursue his dream of failing at stand up comedy. He was voted "Funniest Standup in Anchorage" by people unqualified to make that judgement. He recently released a comedy album in 2018 titled "Cat Tales" and it is available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon. He is a single father to a cat
Danielle Anders:
Danielle Anders has, at one time, been a world traveler, a student politician, a seminarian, an entrepreneur, and a military wife. Now she’s funny. Danielle recently won Black Sheep Comedy’s stand up competition, winning a grand prize large enough to pay for a babysitter. Her 10-year-old says, ‘She is the funniest person I know, but I’m also homeschooled. So, who knows?
Matt Collins (Host):
A lifelong resident of Los Anchorage, Matt keeps busy being a dog dad. Sorry, did I say keeps busy? I meant the opposite.
Willow has hosted this annual winter festival for more than 50 years. With a full schedule of events in the dead of winter, the carnival boasts one of the state’s biggest winter fireworks shows, Iditarod qualifying sled dog races, homesteading competitions, $1000 bingo cash pots, talent contests, foot and ski races, entertainment, kids games, a cribbage tournament, and more.

We had a fantastic celebration with fellow Rotarians, wonderful prime rib, a white elephant gift exchange, and many laughs with friends. Here are just a few pictures of the event. Susitna Rotary gifted the youth exchange students a Rotary jacket. We are so proud and honored that they are part of our program. Thank you to all of you that have hosted and spent time with our youth exchange students! We couldn't do it without you!
