Described by Jay Leno as, “…the best joke writer in America,” by British comedian Brian Delaney as, “…the best joke writer in the world,” and by Weird Al Jankovic as “…one of the funniest people on the planet.” Emo Phillips has performed over 6000 times throughout the English-speaking world, including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theater in London’s West End.
Since starting out in Chicago in 1976 at the age of twenty, Emo has had award-winning comedy albums, several cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO), and many appearances on network television, both in America and the UK. He has appeared in films (most notably, as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF) and has lent his distinctive voice to animated TV shows (such as Slacker Cats, Doctor Katz, Adventure Time, and Home Movies), but his first love, stand-up…remains his true one.
Joey Carroll
Joey has been described as a cross between George Carlin and
Dennis Miller. His no holds barred style has won him the respect of
his fellow comedians and the laughter of his audiences. Edgy is his
favorite way to work. His act has taken him around the world. While performing in LA Joey was discovered by AKA Productions and was immediately booked to use his sharp wit and flawless comic timing to bring much needed laughter to our troops around the world. His act is clean observational comedy which makes him a perfect act for just about any venue!
Jack Lynch is a 30r veteran of the Boston comedy scene and has traveled around the world performing his routine to thousands of satisfied customers. Jack mentors young comedians sharing with them that being a “clean” comic takes hard work but that the audience appreciates smart acts who don’t resort to vulgarity…innuendos are fine though ;-). Jack is also a Humble Genius out to spread the message that recovery is possible…one day at a time!
