Description

Cast

• Stephen Weinstock (Stevin Weinstockov) - The host of the show, calling himself Karl Marx. He implies that PWN is holding him hostage or otherwise forcing him to host the event, and frequently clashes with Lucan Stargiotti and Marx's ex-fiancé Bethanny. He also briefly plays himself to accept his "Paul Gaurano Memorial Award". This is his first physical appearance on the main channel.
• Lucan Alto Stargiotti (Lukan Alzo Stargioski) - Playing himself, Lucan is one of only a few attendees to the event, and the only one to accept their award onstage. He was nominated for "Funniest PWN Performance". He appears to flirt with Bethanny, and frequently engages in shouting matches with Karl Marx.
• Violette Remington (Violetta Remingtov) - Violette plays Karl Marx's ex-fiancé, Bethanny, who frequently insults and makes rude comments toward the host. This is her first on-screen appearance on PWN.
• Kiki Sawan (Kikirov Savan) - An audience member who Marx greets in the intro. This is her first appearance on the channel.
