Tuesday
Jeff Bodart
Jeff Bodart got in to stand-up comedy back in 2001, and hasn’t looked back since. He’s performed in clubs across the country, working with a number of the biggest names in comedy. Jeff’s style is so relatable you will feel you know him. Being the youngest in his family has prepared him for a life of comedy. His animated and goofy demeanor combined with edgy quips covering his dating life, working out, his favorite food of cheese sticks, and the fact that he could never be on “Survivor” makes for some great laughs for anyone watching his show. Jeff’s comedy album, “They’re Still in the Can” and podcast, “Sticky Candy” can be found on iTunes. Follow Jeff on twitter. Visit his website here.
Kristin Key
At the young age of 25, Kristin Key was the youngest finalist ever to appear on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” But this was nothing new to her. After getting into the comedy scene at the age of 19, she quickly became one of the youngest headline comedy acts in the country. Don’t let her sweet, sexy outer demeanor fool you; she’s actually quite the firecracker. With her fearless style of comedy and biting tongue, she’s earned the reputation “Preacher’s Kid Gone Wild,” a title she cherishes. For Kristin, no two shows should ever be the same and nothing is off limits. When not performing, she continues to live in L.A. perusing her dream of acting in film or television.

Wednesday
Scott Potasnik
Scott Potasnik’s adventures as a “Sexpert” started early, when, at age 23, he was hired as the fresh-faced young host and senior producer of Playboy TV’s hit series Sexcetera. For the next seven years, Scott traveled the globe reporting on every bizarre aspect of human sexuality known to man. From folks who have sex with balloons (“Looners”), to the underground brothels of Brazil, to the world’s largest outdoor swinger’s campout, “Swingstock,” all the way to Tokyo’s massive fetish party, “Torture Garden,” Scott has seen it all. And today, he is known as the go-to-guy when it comes exploring the comedic side of human sexuality. Scott on Facebook and twitter.
Costaki Economopoulos
Costaki Economopoulos is a comedian, true, but he’s also a football fan. Those two factors alone make him the perfect candidate to give us a comedic look back at the NFL each week with his new feature that’s also been picked up by The Huffington Post and Bleacher Report. With his Greek heritage, it’s not surprising that he’s been described as a “joke philosopher,” and we’re sure he’s not the only one saying that. Costaki is also a talented joke writer who’s punchlines have been heard on “The Tonight Show,” Showtime, BET, and MTV. Follow Costaki on facebook and twitter. Visit his website here.

Friday
Mark Wahlberg
American actor Mark Wahlberg is one of a handful of respected entertainers who successfully made the transition from teen pop idol to respected actor. A Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee for The Departed (2006) who went on to receive positive critical reviews for his performance in The Fighter (2010), Wahlberg also is a solid comedy actor, proven by his starring role in Ted (2012). (From Mark’s IMDB)
LONE SURVIVOR, starring Mark Wahlberg, tells the story of four Navy SEALs on an ill-fated covert mission to neutralize a high-level Taliban operative who are ambushed by enemy forces in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan. Based on The New York Times bestseller, this story of heroism, courage and survival directed by Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) also stars Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster and Eric Bana. LONE SURVIVOR will go wide on Friday, January 10, 2014.
Chad Daniels
If someone were to tell you they were performing as a comedy club MC six times a week and having to host karaoke after each show in the dead of winter 60 miles from the Canadian border while living in a 6×8 motel room next to a French fry factory, you might think they had it all. Chad Daniels on the other hand felt he needed something more in his life. Good thing he did too, because since then he’s performed as a finalist in Comedy Central’s “Laugh Riots” competition, appeared on “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” and Comedy Central Presents and released two comedy albums including his newest one, Busy Being Awesome.

Mike Trainor
Mike Trainor has been a lifelong fan of comedy, and fortunately for him, he’s now doing it on stage, in print and on TV. Early on, Mike’s stand-up was featured in an issue of Maxim Magazine, which lead to his writing for the popular website CollegeHumor.com. Trainor is also a veteran radio personality after co-hosting a show called “Four Quotas” where he got to interview other famous comedians. These days, he can be seen all over the Tru-TV series “The World’s Dumbest“ which highlights the dumbest criminals, drivers, competitions, partiers and anything else they come up with.
