For over 20 years Todd Yohn's high energy, non-stop act has blended stand-up, improv, and music into one deliciously stimulating show. His fresh and clever original comedy tunes such as "The Feminine Hygiene Song" "Daddy Please Don't Go" and the very popular “Orange Barrels" have separated Todd from the "other" guitar playing comedy acts. Todd has been an accomplished musician for many years and still has a songwriting deal with MCA Publishing in Nashville, Tennessee. He is one of the few performers today who has the rare ability to produce large amounts of laughter with the lift of an eye brow or droop of the lip. Todd's combination of material, uncanny sense of timing and his complete uniqueness of personality, has earned him the reputation as one of the best club comedians in the country. As a matter of fact, Tom Griswald of the nationally syndicated morning radio show "Bob and Tom" has said that, "Todd Yohn is, by far, the funniest live comedian show anyone will ever see". At 6'3'' and 180 pounds Todd is a red-headed, walking, talking cartoon. A master of physical comedy, Todd can move in and out of characters within seconds and make anyone think they are watching multiple performers. But then again, that's what Todd does best! Watching Todd's show, one gets the feeling that they are watching an “out-take" of a movie as Todd is laughing himself and having a genuinely grand time on stage. This self deprecating comic puts you at ease from the beginning to the end of his show and you will hurt from laughing as you leave his performance.

Todd is heavily requested on the college circuit as well as the corporate world and national comedy club network. You might have seen Todd on HBO, SHOWTIME, VH-1, and COMEDY CENTRAL. He has worked with Glenn Campbell, The Four Tops, Charlie Daniels, and is Joan Rivers' favorite opening act (in his price range). His humor and songwriting have made him one of the ORIGINAL "regulars" of "The Bob and Tom Show". According to Kevin Brady of Outback Concert Promotions, “Todd is my number one closer for the "Friends of the Bob and Tom Show" national tours. Simply put, Todd does comedy the way comedy was meant to be performed. He is a total performer who will thrill any audience! Don't miss the opportunity to experience this "one of a kind" entertainer!

All the way from Manchester, England, Steve Hirst has brought his act to America with a refreshing look at the differences between the UK and the US.  This is a high energy, fast paced show that includes improv, music, impressions and a closer that will have you falling off your seat.  This year Steve was selected to showcase at the Montreal Comedy Festival.  His television credits include MTV and REAL TV. 

He has performed all across America, headlining at such clubs as The Improv, Funny Bone and Hyena’s, just to name a few.  His act has been described as a cross between Benny Hill and the motion picture “SNATCH.” 

Get ready — the new British invasion has arrived!!

David Graham takes audiences on a wild, whimsical ride through the mid of an adult child that never grew up.  Making his home in St. Louis, this comedic tour-de-force was born and raised in Tulsa, OK.  His high energy and the ability to hit those hard-to-reach areas of the comedic nervous system has landed him in the professional company of: Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Sinbad and a host of others, as well as shows such as Comedy Central’s “Comic Justice: and ABC-TV’s “America’s Funniest People.”

 A what-if Attitude, along with singing, dancing and an array of his own characters smacks at the golden era of television.  From his rendition of the “Crackhead” to the critically acclaimed “Forrest Pimp,” this clever comic delivers a whallop!

 Headlining venues such as Universal Studios Florida, Jokers, Funny Bone’s and countless other nationwide has molded this act into a can’t-miss for audiences everywhere. 

 Look for David on the silver screen this year in the Warner Brothers film: “Apocalypse and the Beauty Queen” due out Thanksgiving weekend; and “Tapestry of Shadows” set for release in 2006.

Opener: El Arnston
Fargo, North Dakota

El Arntson made his standup comedy debut as the comedy part of a Comedy/Punk show at a bar that was torn down less than a year later (he was never paid the $50 promised).  He emerged scarred but with a knowledge that his career could only go up from there. Since that fateful day El has rocked clubs from Louisiana to Minnesota with his own unique take on everything from his home state of ND, to John Wayne, to what dolphins actually taste like and whatever else tickles his fancy. Not vulgar but with an attitude that everything is funny if you look at it properly this young gun of comedy is one to watch out for.  Catch him now so you can say you saw him before he was … whatever he ends up being.

Tony has been a performer since his early childhood days. He brings a Las Vegas atmosphere to every performance. He has been labeled the “Mojo” Master because of the energy and charisma that embodies every one of his shows.

The audience will stand and cheer with his fun, fast paced show. Be prepared to laugh harder than you have ever laughed before.

You will be amazed...

The Midnight Swinger has performed his show for presidents and CEOs of companies such as Rockwell, Burger King and John Deere, to mention a few. The Swinger prides himself on learning about the company or group and writing material specific for that event. “I believe personalizing the show makes it much more fun and enjoyable for everybody. Some entertainers will just do their show, which is fine for them, but I want people to be talking about my show for days after. One of the greatest rewards is when people come up to me wondering how I knew so much about the company and was able to write jokes just for them.”

 One of the biggest concerns facing hiring an entertainer for a corporate event is: Will they be dirty, will they offend the people at the event? The Midnight Swinger has been entertaining for over thirteen years, performing for crowds as different as the late show in Las Vegas to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Indiana. “It’s important to me that everyone have a good time, but I believe you can be funny without having to resort to being dirty.”

 The Midnight Swinger’s Vegas-style show is the perfect show for any corporate event or gathering. Professional and reliable are just a few of the words some have used to describe The Midnight Swinger. Funny and outrageous are the words people have used to describe his show.

Opener: Dwayne Clark
Des Moines, Iowa

Okay - figure this one out - he’s a guitar player with no song parodies, sing-a-longs, or Dylan impressions. He’s high-energy without playing, “What’s your name - where are you from” with his audience. His material is intelligent, adult, yet inoffensive. He delivers his act with southern charm that doesn’t play to the stereotypes of the dumb southerner.

 It’s like Minnie Pearl and Tony Bennett had a baby (pardon the visual). With his infectious smile, and his undeniable charm, Dwayne steps onstage and delivers a show that every audience member will appreciate and leave with an uncontrollable craving for corn bread & caviar.

Scott Long is many things. He has been touring the country the last 10 years bringing his comedy to the masses across the country. Scott's stand-up club show is filled with edgy, unpredictable material that demonstrates comedy can be thought-provoking, but hilarious, at the same time. Scott has performed in over 25 states in just the last year. He has performed for such varied audiences as Federal prisoners, strip club patrons, and charity benefits.

Scott also has a separate show that he does for corporate events. This corporate show is based on a concept Scott calls "I'm OK, I'm Not Sure About You". This is basically a method of positive thinking through negative thinking, where Scott demonstrates that we overrate people we don't know, but underrate the people we are most familiar with.

This comedic show, develops the theme that people we are new to, are people we generally overrate. On the other hand, family members and co-workers, we underrate, as we know them so well we focus on their negatives too much. This show is perfect for the person who is too cynical for most positive thinking lecturers, as it takes a skeptical look at the typical professional speaker-type speech. To get a better idea of what this show is like, click on the column icon on the home page and then click on I'm OK, I'm Not Sure About You. Scott's book, Dysfunctional Thoughts of a 21st Century Man came out in October of 2001. This book is filled with humorous columns that Scott has written over the past two years. The best way to understand what they are like is to click on the column icon and read some of the writings available. Like his stand-up, these columns have a darkly twisted point of view about the world and his family. Scott also makes many radio and television appearances each year. A regular contributor to Fox Sports Radio's program, Mark Patrick on Sports (MPOS), Scott excels at exposing the funny elements of the sports world.

Opener: Roy Haber
Lexington, KY

If life is analogous to a journey through the forest - and the masses tout "success" as being focused enough to find your way out... then Roy Haber is proudly one of the lost.

Born In Israel, Roy had your average beginning. Then, as if the confusion of his roots wouldn't already eventually turn this little boy into a skewed man, his parents pulled the cruelest trick you can play on a child, deciding to raise him in Kentucky. Considering this kaleidoscope of genealogy and eclecticism of personality traits, only one career path seemed appropriate for Roy... Comedian! 

Standing at a breath-taking 5 feet, 2 inches, and weighing in at a staggering 120 pounds, Roy Haber commands the stage like Shaquile O'Neal controls the gridiron. That might not make much sense, but neither does low-carb bread. All you need to know is that Roy Haber is one funny little dude. His life is his comedy, and vice versa. Roy revels in his unique redneck-Jewish heritage, and unlike other guys his height who have a chip on their shoulder, Roy takes it all in stride. He is as funny as other short guys are pissed, and rather than compensating for it with a pickup truck, he makes his statement on the stage with laughter and applause. Whether it's making fun of himself, tackling serious issues like his battle with Crohn's disease, slamming a magnifying glass on world events and society in general, or sharing a story from his travels - Roy's comedy is live, direct, and brutally honest. 

Fan's of Roy's comedy rave of his phenomenal wit and edge, as well as the relevance of his humor in today's "Patriot Act" society. Critics of his style complain he sometimes goes beyond the "accepted psychology of the time" (damn those comedians who listen to that whole first amendment thing and feel they can think however they wish). But all who have seen his performances truly appreciate his will to speak his mind, sparring no karmic expense, and excluding no one in his satirical tirades. The most compelling idea echoed by both the proponent and opponent is that, though he often leads his audience to the very edge, he shows great tact in realizing where that edge is, and attempts to tread past the threshold only when necessary and never for the cheap, yet often sought after "shock value" laugh. Not only will Roy's show have you doubled over begging for comedic mercy, but it will also undoubtedly move you to thought and reason. 

Roy has performed throughout the United States and cut his teeth on many stages in Canada. He's appeared with Jim Breuer, Tommy Davidson, Don Rickles, Tim Wilson, Alex Reymundo, and many more. He also received numerous awards at the IMTA Nationals in Los Angeles California, including 2nd runner-up, "Actor Of The Year". Come out to the show, warm up your face muscles, and prepare your tear ducts for an evening of hilarity. You'll be sure to have BIG fun with this little man. But be warned... Anything goes!

"Roy Haber is not addicted to the laugh, and thus he gets more of them than
most comics." Steve Hofstetter, Comedian/Sirius

Opener: Ken Schultz
Chicago, IL

Ken Schultz is a young up-and-coming comedian from the Chicago area.  Combining a quick self-deprecating wit, well-crafted observations, a booming basso profundo voice, and a willingness to indulge in the absurd, Ken offers a truly unique entertainment experience.  The goal of his act is to blend topics an audience has never heard discussed in a comedy club with new and fresh takes on the familiar.  Setting up every bit with a personal observation, Schultz is liable at any time to branch out into physical comedy or any number of different character voices, adding further element of unpredictability to his act.  All of these features add up to a comedian who not only leaves his audience laughing hysterically but offers them something they have never seen before with every bit. 

 Schultz graduated from Kenyon College in 2000 with a double major in English & Drama.  Realizing that this wasn’t going to lead to a CEO position with a Fortune 500 Company, he headed to Chicago and quickly became established in the comedy scene.  After working regularly in all of Chicago’s comedy clubs, he is now beginning to branch out and perform his act successfully at several comedy spots in the Midwest. 

Bengt (pronounces bent) Washburn was born into a large Mormon family and raised in a small Mormon town in Utah.  From age 19-21 he was a Mormon Missionary.

Bengt received BFA and MFA degrees in fine art, leaving him straddled with student loans, unqualified for corporate work and overqualified for minimum wage jobs.  After a short visual-art “career”, Bengt landed on the road as a full-time stand-up comedian in 1997.

Always fresh, an evening with Bengt presents the world as seen through the eyes of a small town Mormon man gone slightly awry.  Bengt is unique and universal, achieving the quirky while remaining accessible.  Described as “an intellectual with an imp’s perspective”, his musing are clever, silly, poignant, pointed, irreverent, philosophical, sophomoric, and hilarious.

Bengt’s comedy was good enough to win the 2001 San Francisco Comedy Competition.  The Junction Weekly says- “Bengt clearly killed!!  Both shows.  The crowd even requested encores...
Opener: Tim Harmston

Rapidly seizing a niche for himself with an act that crosses all cultural lines, B.T.’s set moves from relationships, to sports to current events to race, jumping from topic to topic with his likable, charming style
