Here is information about the troupe:
Scarsdale native Shaun Eli Breidbart has rightfully been called one of America's smartest comics. Whether it's a story about dining with a vegetarian or successfully fighting a parking ticket, master storyteller Shaun Eli proves that there's hilarity in the ordinary if you approach life with a comedic warp. Job interviews? Serving on a NYC criminal jury? How about the Ten Commandments? For just about anything he has experienced Shaun has a hilarious story at the ready.
Joe DeVito has the power to start fires using his mind, and he also does standup comedy. Whether taking on relationships, his Italian-American family, or current events, Joe's dead-on timing, unexpected twists and sheer flights of lunacy make him a favorite at clubs and colleges across the USA, and at the top venues in New York City.
After spending a decade as a journalist and advertising writer, Joe gave into his coworker's demands to try performing so he could find fame, while they finally got some work done. In 2006, he was invited to the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Canada, where the Montreal Gazette rated his performance "9.5 out of 10."
Joe's TV appearances include The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS, Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, and a semi-finalist turn on season five of NBC's Last Comic Standing. His savage wit has also made him an in-demand panelist on shows like Chelsea Lately, CNN's Headline News, Animal Planet's Wild 100, and a regular guest on FOX News Channel's Red Eye. As a writer, Joe has contributed to Maxim Magazine, MTV, and the award-winning film Super Size Me.
Jon Fisch has been featured on Celebrity Apprentice and in Maxim Magazine. He was the host of the widely popular podcast, In the Tank, and last year he made his late night television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman.
His appearances on Last Comic Standing 4, where he was the New York City Capital One Audience Favorite, gained him wide recognition and a new legion of fans. He has also been seen on Comedy Central, VH1 and was invited to be perform at the TBS Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Chicago and the Great American Comedy Festival at the Johnny Carson Theatre in Norfolk, Nebraska.
A staple in the NYC scene Jon performs regularly at Gotham Comedy Club, The World Famous Comic Strip Live, Comedy Cellar, and Broadway Comedy Club. Of his numerous credits, people seem most impressed with Jon being hand picked to open for Jerry Seinfeld at Gotham Comedy Club.
