Jeff Oskay

If funny original comedy with a heavy dose of sarcasm is what you are after, then this is the comic for you. Jeff has made finding faults in himself and others an art form. After being raised in the farmlands of Indiana, he and his comedy now reside in the heart of the “city”. Through his tales of ‘Bad Life Choices’, he shows us that we are all human and that we should all take ourselves a little less seriously. Whether you’re eighteen or eighty, you will find his comedy accessible and hilarious. His unique perspective on marriage, kids, society and life will leave you always wanting more. Jeff has had the opportunity to perform at intimate comedy clubs and five-hundred seat theaters. Follow his Twitter. Get his CD here.

Paul Morrissey

Paul was raised as a sports fanatic in the tiny town of Owego, in upstate New York. Despite his size, he was a starting point for four years in college at Binghamton University and SUNY Cortland. He was also an assistant coach/recruiter for one year at Cortland.

Paul then transitioned into TV, landing a sports anchor job with KRCR, an ABC Affliate in California. He covered the Sacramento Kings, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco Giants. Morrissey also became know for his humorous “Daily Show” style correspondent pieces which were not always seen as funny by the owner of the station. During this time he began doing standup comedy and fell in love performing for a live audience.

Paul eventually quit his TV job moved to NYC to pursue a full-time career in comedy while earning at Master’s Degree at NYU. He also trained at the UCB Theater for Improv Acting and Sketch writing.

Morrissey gained exposure when he made his network television debut on “The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson” on CBS. He was so well received that Paul was asked to make three more appearances on “The Late, Late Show.” In July of 2014 Morrissey reached the goal of every standup comedian by making his debut “The Late Show with David Letterman” on CBS.

He was also featured as a sports reporter in Nike Commercials with LA Clippers star Chris Paul. Morrissey is also a talented writer, working on a CBS pilot produced by Matt Damon & Ben Affleck titled “More Time With Family” (2014) starring Tom Papa and Allyson Hannigan.

Morrissey was selected to perform at the 2015 Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, 2015 Lucille Ball Festival, Great American Comedy Festival (Johnny Carson) Norfolk,NE, and was one of only five North American comedians selected to perform at the Montreux Comedy Festival in Switzerland.

The recent TV exposure has put Paul in high demand as a headliner at clubs and colleges across the US and Canada. He also performs frequently at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, Laugh Factory, The Hollywood Improv.

Morrissey is a frequent guest on the “Artie Lange Uncensored Podcast” and also “Bennington” on Sirius/XM radio.

Doug Stanhope

Doug Stanhope is a stand-up comic. Has been since 1990.

His material ranges from true-life graphic perversion to volatile social criticism. Doug is vulgar, opinionated, brutally honest and shockingly uninhibited and is certainly not for everybody.
He started his career in Las Vegas doing jack-off jokes for free drinks. Not much has changed, save for the mullet.

Doug has built a wide-ranging television resume of dubious achievement. He hosted The Man Show on Comedy Central as well as the ubiquitous pseudo-porn for the sexually crippled, “Girls Gone Wild”, both solely and shamelessly for financial gain. He has appeared on “The Howard Stern Show”, “Comedy Central Presents”, “Premium Blend”, NBC’s “Late Friday”, “Spy TV” BBC’s “Floor Show Live” while on ecstasy and wrote, produced and starred in Fox’s “Invasion of the Hidden Cameras” and has even popped up on “Fox News with Greta Van Sustern” and “The Jerry Springer Show”. In 2010, he was the Voice of America on the BBC’s “Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe”.
None of it compares to seeing him live; Doug is a two-time winner of Time Out New York’s “Best Comedy Performance of the Year”.

He’s appeared at multiple major comedy festivals including Montreal Just For Laughs, Aspen US Comedy Arts, Chicago Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Scotland, where he won the Strathmore Press Award for Best Act of the Fringe in his debut year.

Selected by both Variety and the Hollywood Reporter as one of the Top Ten Comics To Watch, Doug has released four CDs and three DVDs including “No Refunds” on Showtime in 2008. Get his new book Digging Up Mother here.
