reanimating them with his apocalyptical rants reminiscent of the wide eyed
mania and firebrand sermonizing of Father Coughlin and the predatorily
steadfast assurance of Oliver Cromwell. |

J. Jay Boyd all aspects of comedy from writing to performing. I am a drum and bugle corps fan dating back to my days at Earl L Vandermuelen High School in Port Jefferson and the Royal Brigade. Although in the last few years I haven't been as anxious to go to shows and spend my money as the activity is changing in ways I dont much care for. Such is life: you can't stop change, but you don't have to blindly accept it either. I also oddly enough love Broadway. Yes even musicals. Live theatre just like live comedy is an experience you must have at some point in your life. To see a production live on broadway is just amazing. |

Eddie got a chance to show the owner what he could do and despite his lack of experience, he thrilled everyone in the club that night…. Everyone except the owner. The club's policy was that if the owner liked you she would talk to you. If she didn’t, the performer was to just walk by her without saying a word. As Eddie left the stage the owner looked away. Eddie walked outside with his friend and then suddenly turned around walked back into the club and whispered in the startled owner's ear, “ Thanks for the opportunity to show the "PEOPLE" what I can do.” He has lived by that motto ever since.

Dave Kanyan Dave Kanyan is a funny guy originally from Brooklyn NY. He has spent the last 30 years living life and working at his craft of stand-up comedy. He always hoped that one day he would be famous enough to have his picture posted on a website for a comedy club with a small bit of information next to it, describing a bit about him. This information would appear witty, make people laugh or at least smile. It would be intriguing enough for people to say "Hey maybe we should go see this guy". At the very least he does not want to waste the space or anyone's time with info that was not relevant to him or his soon to be fans. As soon as he figures out what that info will be, he will have it posted right next to that pic of him. Stay tuned! |

Pete Kuempel Recognized for his cool, dry delivery, Pete enjoys engaging audiences with his sarcastic personal observations and his sometimes brutally honest outlook on life. He captivates crowds with his sardonic voice and uniquely laid back, deliberate style. Brought up within an ethnically mixed family (his mother is Mexican and his father is Irish) on Chicago's South side, much of Pete's comedy is drawn from life and he attributes a great deal of his wry, street smart disposition to his experiences growing up in the city. Pete has always had a knack for finding the absurdity in life’s
frustrations and giving them an amusing twist. In doing so, he has developed
a sense of ironic detachment that people find genuinely appealing. Plus,
he’s pretty damn funny, and people usually seem to appreciate that.
His peculiar perspective and leisurely, yet sharp delivery style have
entertained audiences throughout Chicago as well as the Midwest, and
now Pete can be found on a regular basis working comedy clubs all over
the east coast

I grew up in Jersey City NJ where I was the 10th 0f 14 children. T’ was a tough experience that filled me with piss, vinegar , wit and a tremendous imagination. The imagination and wit I use in my shows. The piss & vinegar I use in salads for people I don’t like …..just kidding. I attended Jersey City State College aka Vaseline U. (because you slide right through.) The doodling I perfected there allowed me to attend The school of Visual Arts in NYC where I trained as a Cartoonist /Illustrator. When I started comedy I set out to do something different . I hit the open mic circuits and other performance spaces that allowed me to experiment - and to take beatings . The result is a show that has been described as GOUNDBREAKING, and WILDLY ENTERTAINING. LETTERMAN booker Eddie Brill has called it BRILLIANT. I incorporate storytelling ,standup, performance
art ,even poetry ! It’s a celebration of wit that has the audience laughing like a
series of controlled explosions. ( You never thought I’d compare
my show to the internal combustion engine, apologies to Henry Ford.) |

Jay Nog After the devastation of 9/11, Jay Nog chose to save the
world through comedy. The healing powers of animal voiced ejaculates,
awkward bedtime
explorations, and unearthing moments from his time as an elementary science
teacher in Brooklyn are some medicinal cures Nog explores. Still, you
can’t knock Jay Nog for trying. In all seriousness, Jay Nog is
like sketchy General Tso Chicken, sweet and nasty. His mother has been
known to pop up in club audiences, but that does little than to expose
another target for Nog’s witty analysis with a twist of raunch. ..... |

As he grew up Joe followed the careers of Jim Carrey, Howard Stern, and Jerry Seinfeld closely as he attempted to begin his quest.

On February 25, 2004, Joe took the stage at Governor's
in Levittown and that would be the start of his career. Of
course that show was dreadful as well. But the next show went well and
despite a lack of health insurance and several restraining orders Joe
has continued doing comedy and has begun to make a name for himself on
the scene in New York City as well as various parts of the east coast.
Today you can see Joe performing his craft almost every night of the
week in front drunks, haters, fans, and people who genuinely like him. |

Andrew Schultz You know what, I wrote a really cool bio and someone who has way too much time on their hands hacked into (i forgot to log out) my myspace account and deleted it. I’m not going to go through that effort again so now anyone who wants to know anything about me will either have to ask me questions or come watch my stand up. I usually don’t get annoyed at pranks like this, but The bio I had before was quite long, and witty I might add. The person that deleted it is now featured in my bio. I’m sure it was some obsessed fan who wants a part of my life. Well little buddy, you did it you are now featured in my myspace blog for all the world to see. Big Kiss.

Paul Virzi Paul was first attracted to stand-up comedy at a very young age. He was only nine years old when he witnessed Eddie Murphy’s RAW in 1987.
