MIKE COLEMAN Yesterday's star of WBZ's "Dumb Guy" commercials is today's top notch comedian/impressionist and song parody king. Mike's rapid-fire song parodies leave audiences gasping for air - some of his punchlines you'll get in two seconds, and some you'll be trying to figure out two years from now. Coleman's hysterical material is designed that way. No other act combines killer impressions of Tom Brokaw, Sean Connery, and Jim Morrison with standup comedy, Shakespeare and song parodies (Walkin' in Medford, Charlestown Girl). |

BRIAN POWERS Brian is widely recognized as a clean comic whose act illuminates the laughter inherent to growing old, raising kids and being married for many years. As The Boston Herald states, "..Brian Powers regaled the audience with tales about a blue collar guy adjusting to mid-life, middle-class suburbia.." The Boston Globe writes that, " ..the audience was coaxed into chortles ..as Brian Powers takes a blue-collar-ish look at life's myriad confusions.. and possesses uncanny timing.." and The Patriot Ledger adds, "..his tales sparked howling recognition from the crowd..". Brian brings a unique perspective to the field of stand-up comedy; he has become one of the most sought after stand-up comedians in the New England area. |

DANA CAIRNS Although a newcomer to the comedy scene, Dana Cairns is already making a name for herself in the New England area, regularly performing in comedy clubs and theaters in Boston and neighboring cities. Only performing less than a year, Dana was a semi-finalist in this year's Beantown Comedy Riot, took third place in the Rhode Island Comic Throwdown, and participated in this year's Boston Comedy Festival. She also recently won the Closet Comics Big Break contest, for which she was given the opportunity to open for Rob Schneider at Boston's famed Wilbur Theatre. Dana continues to hone her craft, and will no doubt be one of the up and coming comedians to watch out for. |

MIKE DORVAL "One of Boston's Best". In a city famous for great comedians, that's how The Boston Globe described Mike Dorval. After doing comedy for only three months, Mike won the New Hampshire Comedy Festival, beating out some of the most established comics in New England and soon became one of the youngest headliners in Boston history. Mike has been featured in Comedy Central's Laugh Riots, numerous television commercials, and stars in the upcoming independent film, "Dick Spicketts". Most recently he toured overseas for the USO, entertaining thousands of US military personnel abroad and released his first live comedy album entitled, "We need to talk…". Mike's takes on his Catholic upbringing, love life, and the insanity of the world around him have entertained audiences at colleges and clubs across the country and prompted The Boston Herald to exclaim, "Michael Dorval is hilarious!" |

Side-holding laughter throughout-Gavin has to be seen in person to be believed." Don's universal humor and "everyman" style has an immediate appeal to all ages and audiences. Throughout the entertainment and comedy community, Don is reverently and affectionately known as the "Godfather of Boston Comedy." |

DJ HAZARD Hazard's material will likely be studied by scientists long after he's gone. Only his brain could invent such offbeat, highly intelligent and outrageous humor, punctuated by song parodies. Don't let his intimidating looks fool you - Hazard is comedy's gentle giant, in addition to being a Boston standup legend for over 20 years. DJ's first comedy album, 1993's "Lock Up the Planet When You Leave," is still a favorite on the Dr. Demento radio show, and next year's "El Hazardo Rides Again" is destined to become a classic for a new generation of fans. |

TOM COTTER If laughter is the best medicine, prepare to be heavily medicated! Tom's high energy, cerebral style has landed him on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, and a role in Miramax's Next Stop Wonderland. You may recognize Tom from his many commercials, including Pepsi, McDonald's, Doritos and Amstel Lite. We'd like you to recognize him as the perfect entertainer for your next event. |

MATT BLAKE We first saw Matty back in 1996, shortly after he left a stint with Improv Boston. His infinitely likeable boy-next-door charm played well as a standup comic, and before long he was on Boston radio airwaves, with stints on the WXLO and STAR 93.7 morning shows, and then with his own wildly successful "Rocco and Matty Show" on WAAF drive time. The voice behind many VH1 programs, Matty currently juggles his acting career (Collinsville, Clint Eastwood's Mystic River) with performing his clean, intelligent standup comedy at clubs, resorts and special events. |
