Brad Williams Picture

Co-starring Mike Marvell

Comedian Brad Williams has lived a true comic Cinderella story. Born with Achondroplastic dwarfism, Brad would endure countless taunts and gawks from classmates and random people on the street. Instead of crying about it, Brad turned to humor. He discovered that by making jokes about his condition, he could make other people comfortable and get laughs in the process. One night at a Carlos Mencia show, Carlos asked Brad if he wanted to do time. After his set, Mencia decided to bring Brad on the road with him as his opening act. Brad has been touring with Carlos ever since, even making a few appearances on The Mind of Mencia on Comedy Central. Brads ability to make humorous observations that make everyone comfortable with difference is winning over audiences and proving that anyone can overcome their shortcomings.

TEXAS HOLD'EM SEMINAR

Roger is known as The Poker Comedian.  He's been a professional poker player for most of his adult life as well as a poker teacher to many celebrities in LA.  Roger has put together a comedy traffic school type program called "Texas Holdem on Demand" where he does a Q&A about Texas Holdem that appeals to the beginner player right up to the most advanced players.  It's a fun and entertaining way to learn the game without the intimidation of a casino.  And Roger has a wealth of knowledge.  He shares stories, anecdotes and insight very few people have into the world of professional poker.

Upon arrival and seating, the audience uses the notepads and pens provided to each table to write ANY question or discussion topic about Texas Holdem. Roger’s assistant then collects the questions and places them in a large bowl or container, brings them to the stage, and the show is ready to begin! From the container, the assistant randomly selects and directs each question to THE POKER COMEDIAN.  What follows is a vast and singular display of knowledge and humor.

Comedian Josh Blue shows that there's nothing wrong with laughing at yourself -- even if you have a disability. Blue, who won NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2006, has cerebral palsy, which he incorporates into his brand of humor. Despite any preconceived notions you may have about someone who is disabled getting up on stage and making fun of himself, we all realize that sometimes there is some humor in the world of being handicapped. Josh’s take is to show all of that humor from the other side of the ball. He takes a wide range of topics, including how it feels to hail a cab with a “crazy right arm,” having the police thinking that he is constantly drunk, and playing soccer in the Paralympics. His brand of comedy, while very unique, is a great testament to his strong will to defy the stereotypes most commonly associated with being disabled.
