    If you are planning on sitting with a group that has already made reservations please let us know at 319-362-8133, or by email at penguinscomedyclub@gmail.com

    Headline act will be Christine Stedman

    Christine can best be described as one funny mother!   She has a husband, a twenty-something son who lives athome, a divorced daughter and three grand-kids.This  gives her a full portfolio of material to draw from. A lot of people ask Chris why she began a career incomedy so late in life.Well, it’s not a coincidence that she started immediately after her daughter began having babies! Chris does not like to baby-sit!Sure, traveling around the country telling jokes to drunks in smoky nightclubs was not the most practicalway to get out of baby-sitting, but she decided it was definitely worth a try. (It was either that, or go to truck-driving school and she hates the way she looks in flannel shirts! )So far, this desperate attempt to distance herself from family obligations has worked out quite nicely. She’s come a long way from her early years in comedy.
     
    She currently headlines in some of the top clubs in the country and has become a favorite at “The Comedy Stop” in Las Vegasand Atlantic City. In 2006, she was chosen to compete in Nick at Nite’s Search for the Funniest Mom inAmerica.She appeared in six episodes and made it all the way to the finale where it came down to only 5 finalists.Ok, she didn’t win----but just ask anyone who has seen her perform and they will tell you that she is definitely one funny mother!

  • Pauly Shore
    June 06, 2012 at 7:00 PM Pauly Shore

    An entertainment career was virtually pre-ordained for Pauly Montgomery Shore. At age 4, he sat on the lap of The King himself in the company of his father, comedian Sammy Shore, who opened for Elvis during the early ’70s. Around the same time, Pauly’s mother, Mitzi, and father opened The Comedy Store on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, giving their son the rare opportunity to hang out and be inspired by such rising talents as Robin Williams, David Letterman and the late Sam Kinison, who became Pauly’s mentor. At 17, Pauly began writing and performing his own material, creating the persona of “The Weizel,” a character that quickly appealed to young audiences. While playing small roles in such movies as 18 AGAIN and PHANTOM OF THE MALL, Pauly honed his comedy routine to a frenetic level, gaining the attention of MTV. In 1990, the network gave him his own show, TOTALLY PAULY. Pauly rose to national attention during a strong four-year run on MTV, also revealing his comedy chops on the 1993 HBO special “Pauly Does Dallas.” His initial success on television led to a three movie deal with Disney, beginning with the box-office hit ENCINO MAN, co-starring Sean Astin and Brendan Fraser.

    Pauly followed up ENCINO MAN with the comedies SON-IN-LAW, IN THE ARMY NOW, JURY DUTY and BIO-DOME. In 1997, FOX cast him as the freeloading son of a wealthy businessman in the sitcom PAULY.

    Shore’s first comedy album, “The Future of America,” was named Best Comedy Album by the College Music Journalists, while his second album, “Scraps from the Future,” earned a Best Comedy Album nomination from The National Association of Record Merchandisers. He followed up with albums “Pink Diggly Diggly” and “Hollywood, We Have a Problem.”

    In 2003, Pauly produced, wrote, directed and starred in the critically acclaimed,  PAULY SHORE IS DEAD, a semi-autobiographical mockumentary in which he satirizes the perils of Hollywood. In the film, Pauly loses everything and decides to fake his death in a quest for post-mortem adulation. He called in a lot of favors to get the project made and managed to wrangle star cameos from the likes of Sean Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Dre, Clint Howard, Perry Farrell, Fred Durst, Verne Troyer, Andy Dick, Mark McGrath, Jerry Springer, Montel Williams, Sally Jessy Raphael, Kurt Loder and Paris Hilton, to name a few.

    Next, Pauly returned to TV in the TBS reality series, MINDING THE STORE, which he produced as well as starred in.  This was followed by a notable recurring part, as himself, on the hit HBO series, ENTOURAGE.  Pauly is featured in the soon to be released studio movie OPPOSITE DAY.

    Pauly once again stepped into producer, director and star roles with the sketch comedy movie NATURAL BORN KOMICS, for which Pauly received the 2008 Entertainer of the Year Award from the Entertainment Merchants Association.  In 2008 Pauly also expanded into the worlds of cyberspace and journalism with the Ripe TV VOD series PAULY SHORE’S AMERICA, in which Pauly explores various news stories with his own unique and irreverent style.  For his first assignment Pauly went to Texas to cover the polygamist scandal.

    Pauly Continues to tour the world with his stand-up comedy. He can be seen in the comedy special PAULY SHORE AND FRIENDS this Fall on Showtime. He has just finished filming the upcoming Happy Madsion film  BORN TO BE A STAR featuring Nick Swardson.

    Pauly continues to produce and direct, with his latest feature Adopted, having just been released in June, 2010. In the film, satirizes the phenomenon of celebrity adoptions as he travels to Africa to adopt an African baby.  In addition, he has several short subject films and multiple projects in the works such as his MTV pilot called “The Shores” and Various projects with Will Farrell’s website FUNNY or DIE .

    In January 2011, Pauly headed to Vegas to perform live and film a show titled, “Vegas is My Oyster.” The show was filmed in front of a live audience during the adult convention weekend, and also features small skits with comedians such as Maz Jobrani, Charlyne Yi, Bobby Lee, Amber Lancaster, and more. The special aired on Showtime during the months of August and September.

    Feature act will be Ryan Pryor

    If you are planning on sitting with another group that has already made reservations please let us know at 319-362-8133 or by email at penguinscomedyclub@gmail.com

    Headline act will be Marc "Skippy" Price
    MARC PRICE is now finding success as an Executive Producer with recent EP and Creator credits including 65 episodes of “National Lampoon’s Funny Money” for Gameshow Network and “Comedians Unleashed” Hosted by Rich Jeni for Animal Planet.

    Although Marc broke out as a national star playing Skippy on the hit NBC sitcom “Family Ties,” he was also executive producer of his own special for Disney Channel at age 21 and a bit later produced segments for Real TV, Inside Edition and Rikki Lake.

    His lifelong involvement in entertainment began under the wing of his Catskills comic father Al Bernie who was a frequent guest on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Marc spent his childhood in the company of his dad’s friends Milton Berle, Jackie Mason and George Burns, so it was no fluke that at age fourteen he “killed” doing stand-up on “The Merv Griffin” show.

    Marc went on to be featured in the historic first ‘Comic Relief” on HBO. He also hosted 150 episodes of Disney Channel’s “Teen Win, Lose or Draw" and starred in several features including “Trick or Treat” with Ozzy Osbourne as well as Touchstone's “The Rescue.” In total, he’s written, produced or starred in over twenty movies and TV shows, including appearances on all major television networks such as producing and starring in an entire week of “The Midnight Hour”, a late night talk show for CBS. He also directed and produced the Food Network’s first hidden camera comedy special “You’re Cooked!” and is credited as producer/developer of "Star Dates" the popular reality dating show on E!

    This past summer Marc got in front of the cameras again as producer/co-host of “Athens on location from Sprint” for NBC. Currently Marc is combining going on the road as a stand-up comic again, with creating and marketing original comedy formats for television. Marc has just signed a deal as creator/ consulting producer for a new show with Howie Mandels' Alevy Productions and Telepictures/Warner Brothers Televison.

    Headline act will be Christine Stedman

    Christine can best be described as one funny mother!   She has a husband, a twenty-something son who lives athome, a divorced daughter and three grand-kids.This  gives her a full portfolio of material to draw from. A lot of people ask Chris why she began a career incomedy so late in life.Well, it’s not a coincidence that she started immediately after her daughter began having babies! Chris does not like to baby-sit!Sure, traveling around the country telling jokes to drunks in smoky nightclubs was not the most practicalway to get out of baby-sitting, but she decided it was definitely worth a try. (It was either that, or go to truck-driving school and she hates the way she looks in flannel shirts! )So far, this desperate attempt to distance herself from family obligations has worked out quite nicely. She’s come a long way from her early years in comedy.

  • Pauly Shore
    June 06, 2012 at 7:00 PM Pauly Shore

    An entertainment career was virtually pre-ordained for Pauly Montgomery Shore. At age 4, he sat on the lap of The King himself in the company of his father, comedian Sammy Shore, who opened for Elvis during the early ’70s. Around the same time, Pauly’s mother, Mitzi, and father opened The Comedy Store on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, giving their son the rare opportunity to hang out and be inspired by such rising talents as Robin Williams, David Letterman and the late Sam Kinison, who became Pauly’s mentor. At 17, Pauly began writing and performing his own material, creating the persona of “The Weizel,” a character that quickly appealed to young audiences. While playing small roles in such movies as 18 AGAIN and PHANTOM OF THE MALL, Pauly honed his comedy routine to a frenetic level, gaining the attention of MTV. In 1990, the network gave him his own show, TOTALLY PAULY. Pauly rose to national attention during a strong four-year run on MTV, also revealing his comedy chops on the 1993 HBO special “Pauly Does Dallas.” His initial success on television led to a three movie deal with Disney, beginning with the box-office hit ENCINO MAN, co-starring Sean Astin and Brendan Fraser.

    Pauly followed up ENCINO MAN with the comedies SON-IN-LAW, IN THE ARMY NOW, JURY DUTY and BIO-DOME. In 1997, FOX cast him as the freeloading son of a wealthy businessman in the sitcom PAULY.

    Shore’s first comedy album, “The Future of America,” was named Best Comedy Album by the College Music Journalists, while his second album, “Scraps from the Future,” earned a Best Comedy Album nomination from The National Association of Record Merchandisers. He followed up with albums “Pink Diggly Diggly” and “Hollywood, We Have a Problem.”

    In 2003, Pauly produced, wrote, directed and starred in the critically acclaimed,  PAULY SHORE IS DEAD, a semi-autobiographical mockumentary in which he satirizes the perils of Hollywood. In the film, Pauly loses everything and decides to fake his death in a quest for post-mortem adulation. He called in a lot of favors to get the project made and managed to wrangle star cameos from the likes of Sean Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Dre, Clint Howard, Perry Farrell, Fred Durst, Verne Troyer, Andy Dick, Mark McGrath, Jerry Springer, Montel Williams, Sally Jessy Raphael, Kurt Loder and Paris Hilton, to name a few.

    Next, Pauly returned to TV in the TBS reality series, MINDING THE STORE, which he produced as well as starred in.  This was followed by a notable recurring part, as himself, on the hit HBO series, ENTOURAGE.  Pauly is featured in the soon to be released studio movie OPPOSITE DAY.

    Pauly once again stepped into producer, director and star roles with the sketch comedy movie NATURAL BORN KOMICS, for which Pauly received the 2008 Entertainer of the Year Award from the Entertainment Merchants Association.  In 2008 Pauly also expanded into the worlds of cyberspace and journalism with the Ripe TV VOD series PAULY SHORE’S AMERICA, in which Pauly explores various news stories with his own unique and irreverent style.  For his first assignment Pauly went to Texas to cover the polygamist scandal.

    Pauly Continues to tour the world with his stand-up comedy. He can be seen in the comedy special PAULY SHORE AND FRIENDS this Fall on Showtime. He has just finished filming the upcoming Happy Madsion film  BORN TO BE A STAR featuring Nick Swardson.

    Pauly continues to produce and direct, with his latest feature Adopted, having just been released in June, 2010. In the film, satirizes the phenomenon of celebrity adoptions as he travels to Africa to adopt an African baby.  In addition, he has several short subject films and multiple projects in the works such as his MTV pilot called “The Shores” and Various projects with Will Farrell’s website FUNNY or DIE .

    In January 2011, Pauly headed to Vegas to perform live and film a show titled, “Vegas is My Oyster.” The show was filmed in front of a live audience during the adult convention weekend, and also features small skits with comedians such as Maz Jobrani, Charlyne Yi, Bobby Lee, Amber Lancaster, and more. The special aired on Showtime during the months of August and September.

    Feature act will be Ryan Pryor

    If you are planning on sitting with another group that has already made reservations please let us know at 319-362-8133 or by email at penguinscomedyclub@gmail.com

    Headline act will be Marc "Skippy" Price
    MARC PRICE is now finding success as an Executive Producer with recent EP and Creator credits including 65 episodes of “National Lampoon’s Funny Money” for Gameshow Network and “Comedians Unleashed” Hosted by Rich Jeni for Animal Planet.

    Although Marc broke out as a national star playing Skippy on the hit NBC sitcom “Family Ties,” he was also executive producer of his own special for Disney Channel at age 21 and a bit later produced segments for Real TV, Inside Edition and Rikki Lake.

    His lifelong involvement in entertainment began under the wing of his Catskills comic father Al Bernie who was a frequent guest on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Marc spent his childhood in the company of his dad’s friends Milton Berle, Jackie Mason and George Burns, so it was no fluke that at age fourteen he “killed” doing stand-up on “The Merv Griffin” show.

    Marc went on to be featured in the historic first ‘Comic Relief” on HBO. He also hosted 150 episodes of Disney Channel’s “Teen Win, Lose or Draw" and starred in several features including “Trick or Treat” with Ozzy Osbourne as well as Touchstone's “The Rescue.” In total, he’s written, produced or starred in over twenty movies and TV shows, including appearances on all major television networks such as producing and starring in an entire week of “The Midnight Hour”, a late night talk show for CBS. He also directed and produced the Food Network’s first hidden camera comedy special “You’re Cooked!” and is credited as producer/developer of "Star Dates" the popular reality dating show on E!

    This past summer Marc got in front of the cameras again as producer/co-host of “Athens on location from Sprint” for NBC. Currently Marc is combining going on the road as a stand-up comic again, with creating and marketing original comedy formats for television. Marc has just signed a deal as creator/ consulting producer for a new show with Howie Mandels' Alevy Productions and Telepictures/Warner Brothers Televison.
