Welcome Harland Williams!! Actor and Comedian, Harland Williams, makes his home in Hollywood, California. It's easy to see why this versatile performer is quite literally a Hollywood chameleon.

The silent motorcycle stud, Slater, in "Superstar", The goofball astronaut, or Roberta, the ugliest red head in the world in "Sorority Boys".
Williams is also seen regularly on Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, as well as Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Williams has also done solo STAND UP COMEDY SPECIALS for HBO, Comedy Central, CTV, and CBC. Other television credits include his own sitcom "Simon", for the WB, as well as a co-starring role on The Geena Davis Show".
Williams is also an accomplished author and illustrator of his own series of children's books.
A live comedy CD and an upcoming DVD comedy special are just two of is latest projects. The third is something new for Williams, his first music CD. Entitled 'The Cousins', Harland and his talented cousin Kevin Hearn (from Barenaked Ladies) have combined their music talents to create their first EP ? "The Cousins", The love song years.

May 23rd & 24th welcome Dan Cummins!! Dan Cummins provides a comedic experience unlike any other performer working today. In any given show, he might talk about his fundamentalist grandma, serial killers, homeschool, growing up in Riggins, Idaho, wanting to be a hip-hop gangsta, or much more.
Dan was voted class clown in high school, and went on to Gonzaga University, where he graduated with a degree in Psychology. Dan first got on stage at an open mike night in Spokane, Washington on August 3rd, 2000, at the insistence of his soon-to-be wife Heather (she didn't know what she was getting in to).
Then, a little over a year later, in November of 2001, Dan finished 2nd in the Seattle International Comedy Competition!
In early 2002, Dan began headlining at one-nighters and at various other comedy clubs, and began to receive bookings at various "A" rooms as a feature act. Dan is currently entertaining people of all ages at clubs and colleges across the country, performing his unique blend of character-based personal and observational humor, and original comedic songs. He has recently been seen on Comedy Central's Laugh Riots and onstage at the prestegeous Boston Comedy Festival.

Welcome Alonzo Bodden!! Alonzo was born in New York and lives in L.A. Fortunately he's not a rapper because he'd have to shoot himself.
Alonzo has appeared on TV's LAST COMIC STANDING, LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN, MAKE ME LAUGH, FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS, THIRTY-SOMETHING, POWER RANGERS, THE CRAIG KILBOURNE SHOW, THE APOLLO. He was the first comedian invited to appear on THE KEENAN IVORY WAYANS SHOW and has appeared on many other comedy shows. He’s also got an acting career with roles in BRINGIN DOWN THE HOUSE, THE GIRL NET DOOR, ANGEL, GROUNDED FOR LIFE, and PROFILER among others.
Alonzo graduated Aviation High School, and went on to work as a jet mechanic at Lockheed then McDonnell Douglas, for a total of nine years. His first assignment was the, then "Top Secret", Stealth Fighter. After a three year lay-off, Alonzo returned to find his co-workers sporting Stealth Fighter T-shirts. So much for "Top Secret". Alonzo swears he didn't leak the secret.
After four months in Puerto Rico rebuilding a DC-IO Alonzo and his team had island fever and were ready to go home so they sealed the nose-cone with duct tape and flew the plane out. Alonzo, says, "that's why airlines don't give reasons for flight delays ... you wouldn't want to know some of the things we do".
Alonzo made the decision to quit training new mechanics and study comedy when he discovered he was spending more time telling them jokes than teaching them to read blue prints. In the interest of flight safety he decided to take a comedy class.
His first show was his comedy graduation, which was at the Mayfair Theatre in Santa Monica. Some time would pass before Alonzo would play a venue of such caliber. It was now time for him to "pay his dues".
Alonzo hit the road, breaking his act in throughout the nation's entertainment capitals, Beaumont, Texas; Missoula, Montana; and of course, Pocatello, Idaho.
Returning to L.A. with a honed act, Alonzo worked the open mike circuit appearing in coffeehouses, bars, bowling alleys, and hotel lobbies.
Alonzo's first real break came when he opened for "IN LIVING COLOR'S" Tommy Davidson, which led to the "APOLLO COMEDY HOUR". Now, his career was on a roll. He went on to New faces of Comedy at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and has returned to the Festival for their Gala show.
But, Alonzo wanted to do something positive with his comedy, so he began doing USO tours. He's joked with the troops in Kuwait, Thule Greenland, Azores Island, Spain, Central America, Panama, Honduras, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Turkey and Guam. It's a safe bet that Alonzo is the only man on earth who helped build the Stealth Fighter and entertained it's pilots.
Alonzo describes his humor as "Cynically Good-natured" which explains his broad appeal. Alonzo enjoys the "Def-Jam" comedians, but for his comedy to ring true he has to draw on his own experiences, being raised in the "middle-class hood".
Alonzo strives to find humor in the commonality of our life experiences and transcend the race and gender boundaries that separate us -- he'd also like to land a really fat endorsement deal with Nike or Reebok or somebody, anybody... he just likes free stuff.
Alonzo Bodden has the ability to make people laugh about, racism, sports, travel, shopping, dating, and he can fix your Lear Jet.
Let's see Seinfeld yank a seagull outta your Pratt and Whitney.
