The Pit Bull of Comedy
Comedian Bobby Slayton didn’t get the moniker “The Pit Bull of Comedy,” because he likes to talk in a doggy voice. He earned it by having a wit so vicious that when he starts to rant, he goes for the jugular. When not on stage using his humor to attack any and everything, Slayton can often be found in front of the camera. He recently starred opposite Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton in the film
Bandits, and has a regular role on HBO’s The Mind of the Married Man.

He's a Guy's Guy
Actor
Jason Lee's movie career began with a critically acclaimed role as "cynical sidekick" Brodie Bruce in the otherwise dismally received movie Mallrats. However, director Kevin Smith was so pleased with Lee that he created characters for him in his next three films. Though he became a star on the Independent movie scene, Lee has since crossed over into the mainstream film world with parts in Mumford, Almost Famous, Enemy of the State and alongside Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky. In his next film, Lee has the enviable task of sharing scenes with the lovely Julia Stiles and Selma Blair in A Guy Thing.

Straight From the Vile File
Comedian Dwight York is not just a funny character with an unforgettable style; he is one of the best joke writers working today. His shows consist of a seemingly endless store of original and clever one-liners that range from the innocent “They say gambling is a sin. I’m betting god will forgive me,” to the more vile “I brought home a woman from the bar last night but ended up passing out on the couch. Must've grabbed the wrong drink.”
