Rob DaRocha
Rob DaRocha
Stand-up
Rob was born in New Orleans, Los Angeles and was raised by a single mom. Contrary to popular belief and unfounded assumptions, he is NOT white. He is actually half El Salvadorian and half Brazilian.
He began his stand-up comedy career in his hometown of Los Angeles and has emerged as a favorite at the Ice House in Pasadena, Laugh Factory both in Los Angeles and in Long Beach, and at the Improv in Los Angeles. He’s also performed in Orange County at various comedy clubs. He was selected to be part of the 2007 Latino Laugh Festival’s Diamonds in the Rough Show featuring top headliner comic Nick Swardson.
Rob has a very strong stage presence and great comedic timing. He performs all over the Los Angeles and Orange Country area and currently has two national commercials running, so you may have seen him on TV. He shot a sports pilot, Talking Trash, with Greg Wolf, a sports anchorman on Fox Sports West. He recently performed on Standup and Deliver on NUVO TV.

Stand-up
Comedian and writer Gene Pompa's television credits include regular appearances on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien " on NBC and a handful of appearances on "The Late Late Show" on CBS. Other credits include Comedy Central HBO Que Locos on Galavision Showtime's "Latino Laugh Festival " and "In Living Color" on FOX and Si TV! Gene co-starred in Paul Rodriguez' "Comedy Rehab" in May 2009.
Gene has completed two half-hour solo stand-up specials "Pompalicious" for Comedy Central and a self-titled half-hour stand-up special for SI! TV both airing regularly in rotation.
Gene's offbeat perspective plays extremely well with college age audiences and crosses all racial and ethnic lines. He headlines regularly at the Improvs in Hollywood Irvine Brea and Ontario and across the country doing a stand-up show with great social relevance and irrelevance.
Gene was born in East Los Angeles and raised in the working-class suburbs of Southern California. He's been a Mexican-American for most of his life except for a few years during the 70's when he was a "practicing Chicano." As a product of the multi-ethnic suburbs of Los Angeles Gene was inspired to utilize universal themes in his stand-up and his writing.

"What can I say about The Greg Wilson that can describe how hysterically funny he is? He reminded me of John Belushi!" - Nikki Artale, The Las Vegas Informer
"The Greg is a freakin' genius. His improvisational skills are absolutely deadly and I believe he will be a huge star." - David Blaustein, ABC News Radio
"The Greg Wilson is funnier than just about any comic out there today. He might possibly be the wildest comic ever (and that includes Sam Kinison)!" - Greg Gutfeld, FOX News
"He’s a master of improvisation, a Jedi in facial contortions and class act who’s one step away from imminent stardom." - Ryan McCormick, L.I. Entertainment News
"Off-the-cuff, off-the-wall comedy!" – LA.com
