Jon Reep - Thurs. May 23 FREE SHOW
Does this face look familiar? Maybe you've seen Jon on "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay", NBC's "Last Comic Standing", Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" or the half-hour special "Comedy Central Presents: Jon Reep". Maybe you've seen him on TBS's "Pit Stop Comedy", NBC's "Late Friday", or the ABC Sitcom "Rodney" as Officer Gerald Bob the dim-witted cop. If not then you probably know Jon from Dodge's popular ad campaign as the "Hemi guy". Jon is known to millions as the redheaded hillbilly in the Dodge Ram commercials who leans out of a beat-up car and utters the now famous line: "That thing gotta Hemi?" Born in Hickory, NC, Jon moved to Raleigh to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in theater at North Carolina State University. In 2000 Jon was invited to perform at the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, Canada and has since been invited back to perform in the "Best of the Fest" and a "Gala" show. Soon after he moved to Los Angeles to further his career as an actor and a stand-up. Jon is one of the hardest working comics in America, selling out venues and getting standing ovations in clubs and theaters across the country. His show is supersonic energy filled with non-stop characters, super clever writing, and, of course, the one talent that separates Jon from all other comedians in the world: He's the best redneck dancer since Elvis.

Steve Kramer - May 31, Jun 1
You might recognize his “Stanford’s” song, which is played every week on the #1 radio show in the Midwest, The Johnny Dare Morning Show, but Steve Kramer started off by doing voice impersonations as a child. He got kicked off the school bus for impersonating both of his bus drivers and kicked out of several classes for impersonating his school teachers. Eventually, he moved on to impersonating celebrities such as Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, John Travolta, Gilbert Gottfried, and Sean Connery, just to name a few. Steve wanted to take advantage of his ability to impersonate others, so he started doing stand-up comedy in 1998. He taught himself how to play the guitar so he could add musical elements to his show as well, and in 1999, he mailed an audition tape from his home town of Kansas City to Warner Brothers Studios in Los Angeles for a sketch comedy show to be aired on national television that they were creating and casting for called “Hype”. A few days later, Warner Brothers flew him out to Los Angeles to try out in person. More than 3,000 people auditioned for the show, so the competition was incredible. With only one spot left on the cast to fill, Steve had to audition right after Dane Cook. Talk about pressure! Steve landed the roll and co-starred with nine other extremely talented individuals including Frank Caliendo and “Chicken”. He played President Bush, Keannu Reeves, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Justin Timberlake, Carson Daly, David Blane, Regis Philbin, and many others on national television. His headlining show is like something out of Vegas, filled with music, improv, and audience participation. Steve’s second love is music. He is a one-man-band, so sometimes he argues and sleeps with himself.
Matt Sadler - Jun 7, 8
Matt Sadler has been performing stand up comedy for over ten years. His fast-paced, high-energy style is truly a sight to behold. In 1999 he beat out 116 other comics to win the HBO National Talent Search. He was flown to Los Angeles, where he played the Hollywood Improv where he subsequently killed. In his spare time, he enjoys writing about himself in the third person. Over the last two years he has performed internationally in Korea, Japan and the Middle East for U.S. servicemen. He is the host of a game for the XBox and Playstation 2 called, "The Guy Game". He and his wife have settled in Austin, Texas as a home base from where he tours frequently. His wife would also like me to mention that he is extremely cute.
Kevin Brown - Jun 14, 15
Kevin plays "Dot Com" on ABC's hugely popular show 30 Rock. Kevin has also been featured on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, NBC's Last Comic Standing, 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin, and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

Otto & George X-RATED SHOW - Jun 28, 29
Otto & George is a hilarious adult themed ventriloquist comedy team composed of comedian Otto Petersen and his dummy George Dudley. Otto began performing with George as a street act in Manhattan and Brooklyn in the early 1970s. In the late 70s the act moved into night clubs and began to evolve into the “x-rated” current act.
Otto & George are frequent guests on the Opie and Anthony radio show, have appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Penn & Teller’s Sin City Spectacular & Bullshit! programs, and Showtime’s Full Frontal Comedy. The duo have also appeared in the feature films Comedy’s Dirtiest Dozen with Chris Rock and Tim Allen, and performed a version of the “The Aristocrats” joke in Paul Provenza’s & Penn Jillette’s film The Aristocrats.
Performing for over 30 years, Otto is well renowned as both a comedian and a ventriloquist. One notable aspect of his ventriloquism is that his lips still move while he speaks with the George voice, but the illusion of there being a different speaker is made with the sharp contrast in the George voice with his own. Otto speaks with a low, rather nervous voice whereas George speaks in a loud, harsher voice.
Otto & George perform all over the U.S. and Canada. The duo have performed several times at the annual Just For Laughs Comedy Festal in Montréal Canada. The first season of the Pig Roast with Otto and George on BashBox TV has become an internet TV sensation.
