A first-generation American, Mark's material ranges from his
immigrant family to the aggravations of modern life; from current

tossed in for good measure - with a closing finale of off-beat
mandolin playing including the famous Godfather theme tune!

enter the standup comedy industry. Since 1994, she has frequented
private parties, corporate events, casinos, and comedy clubs
throughout the United States, Canada, and The Caribbean.
Her comedy show is so polished and clever that if funny were
light, they would be passing out sunglasses at the door. Her 6 year
old daughter, who thinks she is 36, her 34 year old husband, who
acts like he is 5, and her own 39 years of life experiences
give
her an endless supply of outrageous comedy stories.

Emmett Furrow (Top)
Welcome to the Fold-Up Comedy World of Emmett Furrow - Comedy Freak & Kung Fool
There is NO WAY to describe this show. It's not "like" anyone else. NO ONE else does what Emmett does, because NO ONE ELSE CAN!
During the first part of his show, Emmett demonstrate his prowess in martial arts. But the second part - the WEIRD PART - the part no one expects, the part you have to be BORN FUNNY to do, the part everyone will be talking about for months to come, the part that is so unique ( adj. 1: SINGLE,SOLE 2: being without like or equal: UNEQUALED 3: very rare or uncommon: very unusual---Webster's) that it's in a category all its own, well, that part you'll just have to see to believe.
And you might not believe it then......
Emmett Furrow may be the world's first MUTANT COMEDIAN, born with powers and abilities far funnier than normal standup, dedicating his life to the amusement of others!

Al Katz is a classical comedian with a cynical twist who has created a different perspective on life called STEP OVER THE LINE which audiences have come to talk about. He believes that everyone has a little borderline of humor and he likes to STEP over it. That is like taking the hostilities in life and turning it into humor.
Al Katz has numerous television appearances, including Showtime Comedy Club Network, HBO, Comedy Central, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and just recently The Today Show. Al has also appeared in the HBO production of "From The Earth To The Moon" with Tom Hanks, "Cop and A Half" with Burt Reynolds, and Flex-All commercials with Joe Namath. You can also hear Al on The Bob and Tom Show.
Al Katz has also headlined comedy clubs for over twenty years, which includes The Comedy Zones, The Funny Bone, The Improv, Zanies, and many more as well as developed a demand in corporate, college, and cruise ship performances. He has worked with many greats like Jay Leno, Dennis Miller, and Robin Williams.

John Kirby (Top)
Opened for Jeff Foxworthy, Tim Allen, Rodney Dangerfield, and Robin Williams.
A 17 year veteran of the comedy scene, John has appeared in top comedy clubs all across America. He has performed at dozens of corporate events and country clubs as well as some of the country's top colleges. In addition, he has been heard on the nationally syndicated morning radio show, The Bob & Tom Show.
John comes across as the professional guy just home from work and glad of a sit down and a cool beer. His humor is self deprecating and dry. He ridicules his past occupations (driving a bread truck and used car salesman) as well as his lawyer family's perception of his chosen career path as a comedian.
|
Brian T. Shirley (Top)
Brian has a unique comic style all his own. His weird touch on the world has enlightened and entertained crowds throughout the United States and Canada.
Brian derives his stage act from his experiences in the Air Force, delivering pizzas, selling cologne on the streets of Atlanta, and growing up poor in Marietta, Georgia. From relationship angst to money making schemes gone bad, Brian’s humor is varied, but universally understood.
Brian has made numerous television appearances in the South Carolina market, as well as a national appearance on Comedy Central's "Cheap Labor Day Weekend".
He has opened for Brian Regan, Tommy Chong, Carrot Top, and Michael Winslow (of Police Academy fame).
|
Chris White (Top)
Chris White is one of the hottest prospects on the comedy scene. Sometimes goofy, sometimes twisted and always original, Chris' stories are filled with right angles, making for one of the most surprising and fresh shows around. It's dark humor with a light hearted touch; an approach that led the Boston Globe to call him "a hidden gem".
In the last three years, Chris has become a crowd favorite in Washington D.C. and Baltimore, participated in the Boston and Washington comedy festivals, and worked at clubs across the country. In May 2005 he won the Carnival Comedy Challenge in Pittsburgh, Pa., and he has worked with Kathleen Madigan, Brian Regan, Bobby Slayton, Louis CK, and Bob Zany.
Chris owns and operates the Web site dcstandup.com, and in August 2004 he released his first full-length comedy CD, "Forbidden Style," with 45 minutes of original material, and he is heard regularly on XM Satellite Radio.
Chris was born and raised outside of Philadelphia and is one of three brothers. He is a life-long fan of the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers and 76ers, which requires both an excellent sense of humor and the ability to swing a bar stool. After studying history and journalism at the University of Richmond, Chris edited opinion columns at The Washington Post for five years before becoming a full-time comedian. He currently lives on Capitol Hill.
