COMEDIAN JOHN HILDER
John Hilder was born and raised in the comedic hotbed of Salt Lake City, Utah. As a child John annoyed friends, family, and teachers with his endless attempts at making those around him laugh. Through the years, John’s love of connecting with, and entertaining people through comedy only grew, and in 2004, he moved to Las Vegas to pursue a life in comedy. John began his stand-up career performing in some of the worst bars and clubs these eyes have ever seen, but with his goofy wit, unparalleled originality, and fearless attitude on stage, he quickly rose in the Las Vegas comedy scene to become one of the most respected local comedians in the city. In 2006 John was featured in a “Las Vegas Weekly” cover story discussing local comedy in Las Vegas. He was also featured several more times in the “Las Vegas Weekly,” as well as in numerous other Las Vegas newspapers and magazines. John was a regular guest on KOMP 92.3 radio in Las Vegas between 2004 and 2007, and in late 2006 through May of 2007, John was a writer and featured member of the “Las Vegas Laughs Street Team” on the FOX television affiliate in Las Vegas. John also produced, ran, and performed in several successful comedy shows in Las Vegas, including a show he organized in late 2007 that was sponsored by HBO’s Comedy Festival. His experience running shows taught him exactly what a great comedy show should be, and he works hard to deliver that great show every time he steps on stage. John’s unique view of the world and cynical, yet goofy attitude have made him a favorite in casinos all over the Las Vegas Strip and in clubs and bars throughout the country. John was a finalist in the 2005 and 2006 “Laughs at the Beach” comedy competitions, and in the 2007 “Die Trying” comedy contest in Las Vegas. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this quick-witted, hilarious young comic on his way up, years before his imminent, and heartbreaking demise.

His stand up performance is based on being a NYC Firefighter as well as what goes on in his life at home.
Sal Governale Stand-up Comedian Truthful, animated, and brutally honest are just a few ways to describe Sal Governale. When he unleashes his fury on stage combined with his frantic style, and fearless opinions, people always find themselves laughing hysterically. Sal is not "one" of a kind he is "none" of a kind!"

Maria Walsh Stand-up Comic Long Island
Entertainment calls her "One of the fastest rising female
comedians."
Comedy started a few years ago as an outlet for Maria Walsh and she quickly has risen to the top of the comedy class performing at clubs and venues everywhere. If you haven't seen her at a comedy club you may catch her in the produce isle of your local supermarket or at a Walmart looking for Benedryl or Dimmetap to help her children sleep! After all a mom needs her rest! Maria married right out of high school and started a family, which lends itself to many amusing stories about motherhood and marriage. Her striking stage presence and smooth delivery make her easy to enjoy. She's likable, a little edgy, and just plain FUNNY
Scott Demo Stand-up Comedian "My
jokes come with a million thorns,"said Demo, "you could call it a
taste of detail-oriented sickness."
Chris Roach MC/Comic Standing
6’6” tall Chris is bringing comedy to new heights. His self
deprecating humor and mannerisms make this gentle giant stand out
from the rest (or at least taller than the rest). Chris brings you
into his world talking about everything from his family to some of
his unusual life experiences. Chris’
love for comedy came at an early age. “I remember trying to stay
awake as a young kid so I could watch programs like Saturday Night
Live and The Benny Hill show” he said. His ability to make people
laugh began early in his childhood “I became addicted to the sound
of laughter immediately. I would’ve run full speed into a brick
wall for a laugh. It’s something that only another comedian could
understand” says Chris. CHRIS ROACH; 3 parts Rodney Dangerfield, 1 part Jackie Gleason, A splash of Benny Hill, 3 magical beans mix contents together, add one microphone, and get the hell out of the way!
Jay Nog Stand-up Comic When Jay Nog first took the stage he immediately thought "hey this is much cheaper than any therapy or crack". Jay has many emotional issues which he likes to keep inside, which is guarded by the facade of his humorous antics. He has been featured in Talent in Motion magazine as one of the Top 10 NYC comics to watch out for in 2003. Jay has played clubs all over the east coast and produces his own shows as well. He has been a regular on the FLY92 morning show and recently shot a pilot for the Oxygen Network that is planned to air in the fall. Jay has been compared to Andrew Dice Clay, Dane Cook and a retarded Fetus.
Chris Ploth Stand-up Comic Chris Ploth hit the comedy scene in 2002 and never looked back. Chris 's ability to make fun of himself keeps audiences rolling in there seats. Besides his love for the stage Chris is a master impressionist. His Arnold Scwatzernagger is almost scary its so dead on. Look out for this rising star cause HE'LL BE BACK!!
Michael Bedinotti Stand-up Comic Mike Bedinotti has been doing comedy for 4 years. A blue comic from Florida hits stages like a hurricane... Bombing audiences with one dirty joke after another. He's MC'd for such comedians as Otto and George, Joey Kolla, Gabe Kaplin, and Robert Klein just to name a few. He swings for the fences with every punchline.. so sit back and enjoy the twisted humor of a very twisted person.
Steve Alleva Stand-up Comic Steve Alleva, a Queens native,
performs.regularly at clubs throughout Long
Island and NYC.He started out
acting in local theatre groups but moving to
the comedy stage was a "good
move".Alleva admits, his Queens accent ruined
Rich Walker Comedian/Actor Who is Rich Walker? You won't be asking that after you've seen him once! To call him a Stand-Up Comic just isn't enough, he's a true blue modern day Entertainer! Rich makes fun of the everyday predicaments we all get ourselves into, from odd shopping situations to personal relationships. He covers it all! In Rich Walker you'll see a little Lou Costello with a twist of Buddy Hackett. He's sort of a young throw-back to when showbiz performers were fun loving entertainers. Delighting audiences with tongue-in-cheek impressions, comical dance moves, & singing, he holds a great likability with the young & old. People ask: "Rich, why don't you get your own TV Show?" His reply: "I'm not the next Seinfeld but I hope to be the guy after the next Seinfeld!" See Rich now, as he's undoubtedly a Star on the Rise!
Jumpin' Josh Flash Stand up Comic/Open Mic Host Josh always had the ability to make people
laugh. He found a love of stand-up comedy by listening to tapes of Bill Cosby,
"Weird" Al Yankovic, and Abbott & Costello, as a young child. When he got
older Sam Kinison, George Carlin, Steven Wright also became favorites of his.
Using his quick and clever wit, as well as the disappointments that come from
living, to fuel his material, Josh has shown that even depression can be
funny.

jamiek.wmv <-------click here to listen Jamie Kahnis 1973-2005 I regret to bring you the tragic news of the passing of one of our fellow entertainers. This weekend we lost a shining star in Jamie Kahnis. He was just 31 years old. I worked with Jamie on several Comedy Shows over the past couple of years, he even roasted me at my birthday jam. I'll never forget his bit with sponge bob square pants in the shower, that joke really cracked me up no matter how many times I heard it. He also donated his talent with many benefits to raise money for those less fortunate then ourselves. BigDaddy & The Bulldogs had the pleasure of playing at his house-warming last September. We will surely miss you, Jamie. The wake is Tuesday and Wednesday 10/4,5 at the OB Davis Funeral Home on Route 347 in Port Jefferson. 2-4pm and 7-9pm
