Ricky, the "lovable, gifted idiot" is the most natural, spontaneous and thoroughly refreshing comedy character to come along in many years. And when he boasts, "I think about stuff," he is telling the truth. Ricky's ability to change his voice is the single most unforgettable element of his show. Ricky Mokel is, quite frankly, the complete package: delivery, material, and a strong appeal that wears well.

Steve Tatham is more than just a smirking face. A writer and stand-up comedian, he is a staff writer at the Walt Disney Company and has been one for, thanks to inertia, nearly two decades. He has spent his career dreaming up new theme parks, attractions and interactives experiences for Walt Disney Imagi- neering and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online. He lives in the Los Angeles area with his patient wife and two children, who have yet to figure out why their house is now a broadcast studio.

Mike O'Connell was asked to become a Knight of the Round Table by King Bill after the King fell in love with Mike's memoirs, "Swimming with Armor." Mike gladly accepted the King's request but not before the King agreed to pay for Mike's membership to the Smoked Meat of the Month Club.
Mike, ever the practical joker, likes to re-arrange the furniture in Merlin's cave when he's not home. Mike's favorite sport is Trial by Combat because it's really fair. Mike also holds a patent for the Knights of the Round Table Mouse Pad.

In 1996 Bill Bronner created and produced a live comedy show titled "Free Speech." The stage version of Free Speech featured a group of comedians with each given a chance to deliver his or her thoughts on the topic of the show -- "Work," "Love," "Sex," "Death," "Taxes" and their various topical subsets -- followed by a panel discussion hosted by Bill.

The best way to get inside Cathy Ladman's head is to see her live. As one of the country's top comedians, Ladman's show is a self-probing, anxiety-venting vehicle, which draws laughter from exposing personal neurosis. Cathy has had her own HBO "One Night Stand" comedy special and, in 1992, was awarded the American Comedy Award for Best Female Stand Up Comic. Most recently, Cathy was one of the three finalists in Nick at Nite’s “Funniest Mom in America.”

Bengt Washburn (pronounced "bent") is a self proclaimed unaccomplished Mormon. His act has been described as intelligent, whereas Bengt himself is usually described as ditzy, neurotic and logistically impaired. Bengt’s show is constructed out of his mistakes, all the details of the “carefully crafted series of unfortunate decisions” that are his life. His ever evolving act is sometimes topical, often autobiographical, at times poignant, mostly true and of course very, very, funny.

When you think one of the most prolific character actors, who’s also an outrageous openly gay stand-up comedian, one name comes to mind…Jason Stuart. Stuart has been making people laugh out loud with his hysterical performances all over the country since coming out in 1993. He has accomplished what few other gay comics have ever achieved: brutal honesty with humor in a world that’s not always kind. Not only is Stuart an all-out crowd pleaser, but he transcends the boundaries of race, gender and sexual orientation with his edgy comedic style. Stuart’s material about his experiences as a single Jewish gay man living in Hollywood is original, cutting edge and just plain funny.
