Out of the Kitchen, and on the Road
Paul
Gilmartin is known for his comedic poetry, but to television
viewers, he's probably most well recognized for his hosting
duties on the TBS
program Dinner
and a Movie, but before landing
that gig, Gilmartin was an accomplished stand up comedian. He's
taking his act out of the kitchen and back on the road, so he
can once again entertain audiences with his uncanny ability
for rhyme that has spawned such classics as Sister
Joan, Undignified Ways to Die, and
Circus Love.

One Man Cast of Thousands
In what might be the biggest show of the

& Tom for a one day gala event. In person they are all going
to look just like comedian Frank
Caliendo, but by voice alone you’ll never know the
difference. A master impressionist, Caliendo can be seen displaying
his talents each week on the sketch comedy show MAD
TV.

You Never Know Who You're Gonna Get
Though You may not recognize him without all the makeup Darrell
Hammond has been a regular fixture on NBC’s Saturday
Night Live, for nearly a decade as a repertory player. Having playing
President Bill Clinton for most of his time in office, Hammond now uses
his impersonation skills to mimic practically the entire Bush Administration,
sometimes doing more than one in the same sketch. Also in his arsenal,
he's got dead on impressions of Jesse Jackson, Dan Rather, Phil Donahue
and many, many more. Aside from his work on SNL, Darrell is also an excellent
standup comedian who's comedy specials are must-sees if you ever have
the chance. For those who don't have that opportunity, here's a little
taste of what you're missing.
