EMCEE

Tim Hayes

Everyone’s favorite dad, Tim Hayes is the consummate emcee performing all over the tri-state area bringing his very funny brand of humor to clubs, private events and fundraisers. A chiropractor by day and a stand up comedian by night he moves between making people laugh while laying on his table to making people laugh while sitting upright in an audience.  He recently won the Sarcasm Comedy Competition and will open for Robert Klein.  He has appeared at some of the top venues in the tri-state area including Gotham, Broadway, New York and Stand Up NY comedy clubs in New York City.  Not limited to stand up, Tim has worked also as an actor and has been seen on Law and Order: SVU as well as a host of indie films which have won awards at the Sundance, Gen Art and East Hampton Film Festival.
HEADLINERS

Keith Anthony

As a result of a dare from a co-worker, Keith Anthony entered a stand up contest and lasted one round. Since then, he has been performing almost every night of the week. Keith Anthony has shared the stage with comedians such as Bill Hicks, Gilbert Gottfried, Sam Kinnison, Louie CK, Joy Behar, Brian Regan, Dice Clay, Bobby Collins, and Dom Irerra to name a few. His material is solid, his performance always fresh, and he rarely tells the same joke the same way twice, making his show original every time. His television credits include appearances on A&E, Showtime, and Comedy Central.

Jay Black

In 2007, Jay Black left teaching to pursue writing and stand-up fulltime. Since then, he has headlined at close to 300 colleges, scoring three nominations and one win as the nation's top college comedian. He has appeared as a comic on Showtime, A&E, Fox, the CBC, and NBC. Jay has also performed at some of the most prestigious clubs in the country, from the Comedy Stop at the Tropicana in Atlantic City to the world famous Los Angeles Improv. In 2010, Jay was given the opportunity to work with the US Army on the "I Am Strong" tour, traveling overseas to entertain the troops. He's met equal success as a writer, selling his first screenplay in 2008 and working heavily as one of Hollywood's most sought-after "punch-up" writers, making your favorite movies even funnier.

Vanessa Hollingshead

From the first moment Vanessa hit the stage, waiting well over 4 hours at an "Open Mic" to do 5 minutes of comedy.....she knew she was "home." She often jokes about real things. As a child, she spent a year at Millbrook Mansion with her father, Michael Hollingshead, who introduced Timothy Leary and Sir Paul McCartney to LSD. "I don't have childhood memories, I have flashbacks." Vanessa was recently on VH1's Lords of the Revolution, has had her own Comedy Central Presents, has taped her second DVD at Gotham, "American Anglomaniac" and is taping her third DVD, "Drunk" at Stand Up New York, October 17th. She has performed on the "The Jim Bruer Show," Comedy Central's Premium Blend and NBC's "Louie Anderson Comedy Showcase." She also has had critical acclaim with her one woman show "Flashback", and just completed her second one person show, called "The Hold".
