Kevin Downey Jr. (NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Bob and Tom Show, Bravo TV, New Joke City with Robert Klein) -Comedian, columnist Kevin Downey, Jr. has been recently labeled “refreshingly bizarre” by fellow comedian Joe Mulligan. Kevin headlined small rooms all over the U.S. and enjoyed a cult following until his frequent and on-going bookings at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino’s “Comedy Stop” in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, brought him to a new level of notoriety. Kevin now works “A” clubs everywhere, and to larger and larger audiences.

Kevin Downey Jr. grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He made his TV debut at age six on CKLW’s “The Bozo Show” where he won a hockey stick, a 12-pack of Orange Crush and some Tootsie Rolls playing, The Bug Game. Kevin eventually moved to New York City looking for fame and fortune. He instantly landed a part at Macy’s Santaland as an elf. Kevin was decimated to learn all elves were fired after the Christmas Eve shift. Shortly thereafter, Kevin went to his first comedy show at New York’s “Comic Strip Live” and realized his calling; however, it would be three years until he had the courage to get on stage himself.

Kevin has headlined clubs everywhere in the U.S., and can be heard regularly on “The Bob and Tom Show”, as well as, Sirius and XM Satellite radio. Kevin is also a proud member of Armed Forces Entertainment and he travels the world performing for the troops. Some of the bases he’s been to include Pearl Harbor, Guam, Roi-Namur, Kwajalein Atoll, Singapore, Diego Garcia.

He’s also appeared on “Comedy Central”, “What Not to Wear” and “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” Kevin appears at the Trop’s “Comedy Stop” in Las Vegas at least four times a year. He truly appreciates his ever-growing fan base. Kevin authors a column called, Drinking on $11 a Night, which can be read in “Bachelor Pad Magazine” and “GC” magazine, and online at usedwigs.com. Kevins song, “Secret Garden of Dirty Little Whores (who think they’re better than me)”, can be heard on college and traditional radio stations throughout the country. His nationally-released DVD called, “I’m not Gay, but Don’t Stop” can be found on both Amazon.com and Netflix.

Harris has been a professional comedian for over 10 years and has recently recorded a DVD with Patrice O’ Neil. He’ s also a regular on the European Comedy circuit, including overseas-televised appearances.

She has performed at the New York Comedy Festival, Women in Comedy Festival, and was a featured comedian on PBS’s popular web series “Modern Comedian”

Mike Jacobs – Mike Jacobs’ edgy brand of autobiographical comedy traces its roots to the north end of Hartford, Connecticut where he was voted “funniest kid” in his 6th grade class along with “best legs” … but don’t count on seeing them. His stories of “life” are hilarious, relevant to everyone … and true.

His passion for comedy and laughter has had audiences in stitches up and down the East coast and beyond.. After studying philosophy in college he quickly asked the question, “I’ve grown up neurotic. Am I the only one?” His performances seek to answer that very question.

Feel the energy as Mike takes the stage and walks you up and down the “mean” streets of his very funny life. Mike was a finalist at the 2009 Funniest Jew in NYC and runner up in 2010, a finalist in TreeHouse Comedy’s Funniest Comic in CT, Carolines Comedy Final Four contest, a laugh-off of NYC’s TOP 64 comedians .

Mike was a finalist in TreeHouse Comedy’s 2013 “Funniest Comic in New England Contest” where over 250 comics competed. He was featured in the prestigious “VENU MAGAZINE”(2012 May-June).

He will also be returning home to West Hartford, CT on Oct 26th where he will headline at the Park Road Playhouse….”Growing Up Mike Jacobs”… A recent review of one of his shows in NYC summed it up best….”audiences love Mike Jacobs!”…..and so will you!
Ken Perlstein –

Ken is a New York-based actor and comedian, who has been pursuing his career in the entertainment industry for over a decade.

In 1994, upon graduating from Marshall University, Ken packed his bags and moved to New York City. Over the years, he has worked as an NBC Page and graduated from The Actor’s Studio with an MFA. He is now signed with a talent management company and auditions for television & film projects on a regular basis.

As a kid, Ken loved working with sound-effects and had quite the imagination. His creative characters and impersonations may have won him some friends, but it would also get him into trouble at times… When schoolwork became too stressful and athletics too demanding, Ken soon found his release in the theatre— a place in which he could truly foster his talents and channel his charisma.

While pursuing his MFA in New York, Ken was bitten by the stand-up comedy bug. He began writing and performing his own material and regularly continues to sharpen his comedic chops behind the mic. In addition to his stage-time at various comedy clubs throughout the city, Ken has also been cast in numerous plays and film & television projects.

When he is not performing, writing, or auditioning, Ken plays the role of a loving father to his son, Jacob, and fiancé to a wonderful woman named Liz. He claims that these have been two of the most demanding and rewarding roles to date!
