    <title>Feb 25, 2010: Pablo Francisco - From &quot;Mad TV&quot;, HBO and Comedy Central at DC Improv Comedy Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[A Funny thing happens to audiences when they see Pablo Francisco live for the first time. In a matter of minutes, crowds go from the quiet response that often greets a relative unknown, to jolts of boisterous laughter and applause. What accounts for the transformation? Namely the 20-something Tucson native&#39;s ability to create vividly funny living pictures using strikingly authentic off-the-wall sound effects and loads of his own ample imagination. Pablo&#39;s send-up of grimly narrated action-movie previews, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a tortilla vendor targeted by the mob, is one good example. Another is his hilarious spoofing of those intensely melodramatic Spanish language soap operas on the Telemundo Cable Network. <br /><br />
A lifelong comedy junkie, as kid Pablo competed with a friend to see who could video tape more comics from television. He got his first professional break at age 17, when he and his aforementioned buddy formed a duo called the &quot;Blowout Boys,&quot; snuck into a local steakhouse and took honors in a comedy competition against older, but clearly inferior opponents. &quot;A lot of them read their stuff from notes. At least we had memorized our material!&quot;recalls Pablo. <br /><br />
From humble beginnings, big things have started to happen. In addition to his Comedy Central Presents half-hour special, Showtime s Full Frontal Comedy, Pablo was a Mad TV cast member (season 2). Pablo also has one of the top-selling comedy DVD s in the nation &quot;Bits and Pieces.&quot; You can check Pablo out on Dish Network s SiTV, where he hosts Latino Laugh Festival: The Show. Pablo, now an L.A. resident, is busy distinguishing himself in top clubs around the country, among veteran comics who threw away the script years ago.<br />

    <title>Feb 11, 2010: Tony Rock - From UPN&#39;S &quot;All of Us&quot;, &quot;The Tony Rock Project&quot; at DC Improv Comedy Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Born in the same Brooklyn New York Hospital where most of his seven brothers and one sister found their way into the world, Tony Rock, not to be confused with his favorite wrestler, was born laughing. Being the fourth child, of Rose and Julius Rock, Tony had a natural knack for entertaining, just like his brother, Chris Rock. He had to, to stay alive. Decatur Street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, where he grew up, was one of the toughest that New York had to offer. It also provided a host of rich characters on which to draw. <br /><br />
Tony has been performing for the last four years. After just six months in the business, his first booking on the road lead him to Amsterdam. No, not to Amsterdam, New York, Amsterdam, Netherlands, where he became a more popular figure than &quot;Ed Joost Swarte&quot;. <br /><br />
Upon returning to New York, Tony gained a reputation as a young star in the making. The Hollywood Reporter in 2001 picked him as one of the hot young talents to come out of New York. People Magazine featured Tony in their July 7, 2003 Issue. Since February 2000, he&#39;s become bi-coastal. When in New York, he&#39;s a regular at the famous Comic Strip, Caroline&quot;s and Stand-Up New York. When in Los Angeles, He&#39;s a regular at the Comedy Store, Improv and Icehouse and he headlines at the Laugh Factory. <br /><br />
In April 2001, he co-starred in an ABC/Disney Pilot, &quot;Me and My Needs&quot;. In July 2001, he hosted an MTV pilot, &quot;It&#39;s Your Show&quot;. In 2002, Tony hosted Comedy Central&#39;s successful &quot;Battle Botts&quot;; in 2003, Tony hosted Oxygen&#39;s &quot;Can You Tell&quot;. In April 2003, Tony landed the Jada Pinkett Smith/Will Smith pilot for UPN &quot;All of Us&quot; (2003). The series, which was picked up in the Fall of 2003, has been picked up for the Fall 2005 Season. In June 2004, Tony was featured in Will Smith&#39;s movie, Hitch (2005/I). <br /><br />
Besides touring the country, a highlight for Tony was when he came home to New York to headline with Mark Curry and John Henton at Harlem&#39;s world famous Apollo Theater.<br />

    <title>Jan 29, 2010: Bobby Lee - From MAD TV and The Tonight Show at DC Improv Comedy Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Bobby Lee, a native of San Diego, was expected to follow in his father&#39;s footsteps running the family clothing store. But after stints in a local rock band and at the local community college, he was spotted by Frank Burns, the legendary manager of La Jolla&#39;s Comedy Store, and the rest, as they say, is history. Lee rapidly became an in-demand stand-up comic with his unique Korean American perspective and charismatic on-stage personality. <br /><br />
In 1995, comedian Pauly Shore spotted Lee on stage and asked him to open his act in Las Vegas. Lee subsequently met Paulie&#39;s mother, the celebrated owner of the Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore. He became a regular at the club and went on the road with comic Carlos Mencia.<br /><br />
Since joining MADtv in 1999, Lee has become a fan-favorite, known for his unique brand of pain-inducing, physical humor. He has created such memorable original characters as the comically confused film critic &quot;Johnny Gan,&quot; the world&#39;s worst interpreter &quot;Bae Sung;&quot; and hapless warrior the Blind kung Fu Master.&quot; And audiences have loved his takes on such real-world figures as Connie Chung and North Korean President Kim Jong Il. <br /><br />
Lee&#39;s film credits include &quot;Hardbreakers,&quot; &quot;Kickin&#39; It Old Skool,&quot; &quot;Killer Pad&quot; and &quot;Harold &amp; Kumar Go to White Castle.&quot; On television Lee has appeared in &quot;Curb Your Enthusiasm&quot; and &quot;Mind of Mencia,&quot; and has performed stand-up on &quot;Late Friday,&quot; &quot;Premium Blend&quot; and &quot;The Tonight Show.&quot; He was also the host of this year&#39;s Asian Excellence Awards. <br /><br />
Lee lives in Los Angeles.<br />

    <title>Jan 20, 2010: Christian Finnegan - From Comedy Central, &quot;Late Show with David Letterman&quot; and at DC Improv Comedy Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Christian Finnegan is a stand up comedian. He appears frequently on the television and also writes things, for both money and for kicks. <br /><br />
Christian is perhaps best known as one of the original cast members of VH1&#39;s &quot;Best Week Ever&quot;, where he offered keen insight into the workings of popular culture and the ubiquity of celebrity genitalia. &quot;Chappelle&#39;s Show&quot; fans will recognize him as &#39;Chad&#39;, the only white roommate in the infamous &quot;Mad Real World&quot; sketch. And pinko Communists know Christian from his regular appearances on MSNBC&#39;s &quot;Countdown with Keith Olbermann&quot;. <br /><br />
Christian Finnegan is a fixture (some might say &#39;barnacle&#39;) on Comedy Central, having starred in countless network interstitials, the shows &quot;Premium Blend&quot; and &quot;Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn&quot; and in his own special, &quot;Comedy Central Presents: Christian Finnegan&quot;. Christian was also the host of TV Land&#39;s &quot;Game Time&quot; and has appeared on &quot;The Today Show&quot; and &quot;The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson&quot;. <br /><br />
Christian&#39;s first CD, &quot;Two for Flinching&quot;, was released by Comedy Central Records in 2006 and his super-duper DVD extravaganza, &quot;Au Contraire!&quot; will be released by Warner20Bros. Records on May 12, 2009. <br /><br />
When he&#39;s not on tour, Christian Finnegan lives in New York City with his lovely wife Kambri, a Chihuahua, two parakeets and a useless rabbit. He spends his free time plotting society&#39;s downfall and googling the names of obscure hair metal bass players.<br />

    <title>Jan 14, 2010: Sheryl Underwood - From BET&#39;s Comic View and Comedy Central at DC Improv Comedy Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[One of the boldest and most brazen women in comedy <br /><br />
Not the first things that come to mind when you look at the beautiful and talented Sheryl Underwood. There&#39;s more to her than meets the eye. One of the most brilliant comics on the scene today, Underwood&#39;s claim to fame is that she dares to say what people are really thinking and makes no apologies for it. <br /><br />
Underwood&#39;s comedy career began in 1989 when she became the first female finalist in the popular Miller Lite Comedy Search. Since then her career has continued to skyrocket. Sheryl has won a number of high profile comedy competitions including Johnny Walker Red, Funniest Woman at the Improv, Old English Comedy Crunch and BET&#39;s Comic View&#39;s Funniest Female Comedian. In 1995 Underwood was named 1st runner-up in the Bay Area Black Comedy Competition, securing Sheryl a place in history as the first female comedian- in fact, the only comedian- to place in the competition&#39;s final round three years in a row. <br /><br />
With all these accomplishments on the comedy circuit, Sheryl began her next challenge - to conquer the world of television. When BET needed an additional host for their popular talk show, Oh Drama! Sheryl answered the call and was an immediate hit as the show&#39;s newest host. Audiences took instantly to her bluntness, wry humor and down to earth appeal, which lead to the creation of her own show Holla. The self-produced and created talk show based loosely on Bill Maher&#39;s Politically Incorrect brings together a panel of guests with vastly different opinions to discuss politics, sex, current events and various newsworthy topic- with explosive results- moderated by Underwood, Holla airs on BET Tuesday &amp; Thursdays at 9:30 PM. <br /><br />
The same qualities that endeared Sheryl to BET audiences have made her a favorite on shows such as Politically Incorrect, HBO&#39;s All-Star Def Comedy Jam, Showtime&#39;s Full-Frontal Comedy Show, Motown Live and Fox&#39;s Saturday Night Special. Her appeal also extends to film with roles in Bullworth and Master P&#39;s I Got the Hook Up. <br /><br />
Not only is Sheryl one of the hardest working comedians in the country, she is also a philanthropist, donating 5% of her road earnings to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., where she is a lifetime member and has served as President of her local chapter (Omieron Rho Zeta chapter). In addition to the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Sheryl is also a member of the National Council of Negro Women and the NAACP. She also supports a number of worthy causes, including founding the African-American Female Comedian Association. <br /><br />
With upcoming appearances on Comedy Central &amp; Showtime&#39;s Laff-a-palooza, Sheryl continues to push the envelope: discussing sex, politics, current events and relationships. Her onstage show elicits bold testimonials from even the most conservative crowds. Whether on radio, television or in film, Sheryl is quick to use humor to convey her views in a down-to-earth, likable style. Her controversial opinions as a sexually progressive, God-fearing, staunch, black Republican woman come across loud and clear during her on-stage show much to the enjoyment of loyal fans and new enthusiasts alike.<br />

    <title>Jan  1, 2010: Eddie Gossling - From Comedy Central, &quot;Jimmy Kimmel Live&quot;, HBO &amp; the Disney animated feature, &quot;The Wild&quot; at DC Improv Comedy Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[About Eddie Gossling: One of the funniest working comedians on the road today, Eddie Gossling&#39;s humor is brilliantly original, charming and slightly self-deprecating. He&#39;s a force on stage not unlike the big ones he admires: Steve Martin, Richard Pryor and Bob Newhart. <br /><br />
In 1995, Eddie won the HBO Stand-Up Standoff Comic Relief VII competion and in 1997, he won the US Comedy Arts Festival Talent Search competion. Shortly after, he performed at the Chicago Comedy Festival and then became the first comedian ever to perform at the Montreal Just-For-Laughs Comedy Fest as both a &#39;New Faces&#39; performer and a &#39;Festival Gala&#39; performer. In addition he has appeared on Comedy Central Presents, ABC&#39;s &quot;Jimmy Kimmel Live&quot; and the Disney animated feature, &quot;The Wild,&quot; Eddie has also been featured on Comedy Central&#39;s &quot;shorties watchin shorties,&quot; &quot;Premium Blend,&quot; &quot;World Comedy Tour&quot; as well as Byron Allen&#39;s &quot;Comics Unleashed&quot; and the Bravo and Game Show Network. <br /><br />
Eddie works the clubs like nobody&#39;s business and has single-handedly redefined the words &#39;working comedian.&#39; He&#39;s thankful for the many favors he&#39;s received thus far in his happy life and is looking forward to paying them back one joke after another. <br /><br />
About Megan Mooney: Megan&#39;s relaxed and approachable comedy style has gained her instant approval with all types of audiences. In addition to being a popular headliner in comedy clubs throughout the country, Megan has quickly become one of the most requested college acts. Since arriving on the college scene, just a couple of years ago, Megan has been invited to perform at hundreds of colleges - leaving her very little time to pursue her true passion - which is napping on her couch. Megan has performed at both the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado as well as the Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival in Montreal, Canada. She can be seen on Comedy Central&#39;s Premium Blend, the E Network, The Style Channel, the Game Show Network, and can be heard on XM Satellite Radio. In March of 2006, Megan stared in her very own comedy special entitled Comedy Central Presents, Megan Mooney. Megan now resides in Los Angeles with her husband and kids (Eddie Gossling is her husband) but is willing to get off her couch to come to your town.<br />

    <title>Nov 12, 2009: Robert Schimmel From HBO, Showtime &amp; The Howard Stern Show at DC Improv Comedy Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Schimmel&#39;s big break came when Rodney Dangerfield spotted him and invited him to appear on HBO&#39;s &quot;Young Comedian Special.&quot; Since then he has gone on to appear on &quot;Conan O&#39;Brian,&quot; &quot;Comic Strip Live,&quot; Joan Rivers, Oprah and was a writer for Fox&#39;s &quot;In Living Color.&quot; <br /><br />
His extraordinary rise can be traced to his unique brand of blue humor that pushes the envelope of adult humor and modern sexual attitudes. <br /><br />
Schimmel is also a regular on the Howard Stern Show and stole the show at last year&#39;s prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Festival. His new CD was produced by William E. McEuen, the man behind the comedy careers of Steve Martin, Steven Wright and Sam Kinison. <br /><br />
&quot;Real humor comes from real life. That&#39;s where I draw my inspiration,&quot; says Schimmel.<br />
