Jim Jeffries
Jim Jeffries has been criticized by the Christian Voice and was once attacked on stage by an audience member in England. He is a cult favorite in England, Ireland, Scotland and Australia, and he recently hosted the NME Music Awards in Los Angeles, featuring Jane’s Addiction and the Lemonheads. “His trick is to come across as quite charming, vulnerable even, while whipping up this maelstrom of vileness.” Chortle.

The Walsh Brothers
Chris and David Walsh are the biggest thing to come out of Charlestown since the Code of Silence. For three consecutive years they were named “Best Comedian” by the Improper Bostonian, and the Boston Herald calls them the “hottest rising artists in the Boston area!” “I just saw the Walsh Brothers. They were amazing.” Steven Wright

Patton Oswalt
Patton Oswalt is the voice of “Remy” in the hit film Ratatouille. He makes regular appearances on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, and Lewis Black’s “Root of All Evil.” The ChildCare Action Project gave both of his ½ hour comedy specials “red alerts”, primarily for his focus on “male demon anatomy.” Who cares? He’s funny!
