  • 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.

  • Gene Pompa

    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.

  • Rick Izquieta

    Comedy

    Comedian Rick Izquieta showcased his stand-up comedy on the Starz TV Network comedy show “STAANN' DUP!!”, hosted by Donnell Rawlings of Comedy Central's Dave Chappelle Show.  Rick has been headlining some of the well known westcoast clubs and casinos; he brings tons of laughter to the stand up comedy community and is one of the fastest growing comedians out there today.  In Rick's comedy routine he will share his hilarious dysfunctional family stories, his crazy view on sports and current events!  He is currently working on a Comedy Documentary titled 'Making a Comedian', about the beginning of comedy and the journey it has turned out to be.  You can follow Rick on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and You Tube.
