Eddie Pepitone
Eddie Pepitone
Comedy
Comedian Eddie Pepitone is a master of the dark art of comedy. Hailed as a modern day cross between Jackie Gleason Don Rickles and Eckhart Tolle. Eddie is a force of nature on stage switching back and forth between social rage and self doubt. His shows are an energetic combo of calm and chaos blue collar angst and sardonic enlightenment.
Few comedians working today channel the power of the rant better than Pepitone. He’s one of a kind and a favorite among fellow comedians and die heard comedy fans alike.
In addition to his stand-up skills Eddie Pepitone is a stand-out comic/character actor. Pepitone began his comedy career in New York City quickly becoming a regular on the scene. He appeared regularly on Late Night With Conan O’Brien. His other numerous television appearances include Chappelle’s Show Jimmy Kimmel Live King of Queens Last Comic Standing It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Sarah Silverman Program. Pepitone recently released a Comedy Album entitled "A Great Stillness" and has a Documentary about his life coming later this year called "The Bitter Buddha."

Henry Phillips

Henry Phillips has been seen and heard performing his twisted songs and stories on 'Comedy Central Presents' ABC’s ’Jimmy Kimmel Live’ satellite and terrestrial radio nationwide. His critically acclaimed albums fusing mellow folk-rock ballads with psychopathic lyrics have earned him mention in Billboard magazine’s ’Critic’s Choice’ as well as acclaim from such notable artists as Moby who refers to Phillips' songs as "disconcertingly funny". His semi-biographical comedy film "Punching the Clown" received the Audience award at Slamdance film festival '09 and is currently available on Netflix and iTunes.
Henry is a favorite on the nationally syndicated "The Bob & Tom Show.

Stand-up
Patrick Keane
Patrick Keane
Stand-up
Originally from the Midwest, raised in Orange County, college in Montana and a three year stint in Asia make Patrick Keane a comedian with a background. Why college in Montana? Football scholarship. Why Asia? To get away from football.
Patrick has appeared on Comedy Central, the Late Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Bob and Tom show, XM Radio, Spotify, Comics Unleashed, and the Montreal Comedy Festival. Asked what the key is to comedy, this writer/comedian says, “I try not to be funny and it usually works.”
Patrick can name all the U.S. Presidents in order and knows every Super Bowl match up in history. He feels bad that he's so knowledgeable about sports when he can't even remember all the names of people in his family.
His dry sarcastic self-deprecating style originates from comedy influences Bill Murray, Gene Wilder and John Wooden.
Like Tom Hagen, Patrick Keane is of German-Irish descent.
In addition to doing comedy, Patrick also likes to do magic and sometimes he's able to make comedy completely disappear from the room.
