Voltz and StripperVash (or Jim and Zach) have been hosting events at conventions across the country for nearly fifteen years and are excited to be returning to Colossalcon as the lovable Hosts we’ve always known. Originating from the midwest originally, Zach and Jim have competed together in masquerades, focusing primarily on skits and performance categories before transitioning into full-time hosting duties. They used to cosplay, and now they sorta don’t, but they’ll make sure that any event they host is a great time!

Nerds Know is the premiere entertainment panel group of South Florida. This collective of talented nerds has extensive knowledge in virtually every field that would matter to geeks, nerds, and otaku alike! Disney, Retro TV, Anime, Japanese culture, cartoons, all things retro, comics, and institutional convention knowledge are just a few of the topics the Nerds Know has under their belts. But don’t get too comfortable in your seats, as their events all have huge audience participation, so you won’t have a chance to be bored in your seats!

Individually Nerds Know members have been hosting panels for over ten years but officially joined forces in 2016 to pool their collective talents. The group is made of convention veterans, college professors, and convention professionals. They have seen it all and want to share their love of all things nerdy with you!
