Completely Serious
We're always excited to hear that the unpredictable Daniel Tosh will be joining us on the air, but we'll be even happier if he keeps all of his clothes on. Along with being one of our favorite guests, Tosh is also one of the most outrageous young comedians working today. When he's on stage, the man has no fear, and nothing is out of bounds. Tosh is a Tonight Show Veteran, has made multiple appearances on The Late Show, starred in his own Comedy Central Special (Completely Serious) and has released a hilarious CD, True Stores I Made Up.

 

Cold Hard Cash
Known as one of the best improvisers in the country, Cash Levy first came to our attention after being recommended by our good friends Larry Reeb and David Crowe. And after just one appearance on the show we found out he was as funny as advertised. He is versatile, is quick on his feat, and able to deliver his jokes and entertain audiences without offending anyone (which makes him perfect for corporate gigs). He’s appeared on Comedy Central, The Late Late Show, Comics Unleashed, starred in a pilot for ABC and released the CD, Cash Levy Tidbits, which is available on his website.

 

The Full Charge
Why do people refer to comedian Matt Fulchiron as “The Full Charge”?  Obviously it’s because he rocks the microphone.  But stand-up wasn’t always his dream. His career started in Baltimore as a movie director where wth his first film, Fulchiron was named “The Best New Director” of Maryland’s Microcinefest film festival.  With that title in his back pocket, he headed out to Los Angeles to follow his dream; but it didn’t take long before he was crushed by relationships, adult responsibilities and limited resources.  To help ease the pain, he began performing stand-up comedy in coffee shops around town, and it seemed to work.  Now working full-time as a comic, he has been featured on the Late Late Show, Last Comic Standing and Live at Gotham.  He’s also currently working as the opening act for Daniel Tosh.

 

If the Shubert Fits...
Early on in life, Jimmy Shubert knew he wanted to be an entertainer. At first he tried performing magic for a living, but soon realized he had no desire to wear a tux and pull random objects out of his pockets. Fortunately, he soon befriended the late Sam Kinison who convinced him to give stand-up comedy a try and eventually became one of the "Original Outlaws of Comedy." Not long after, Shubert caught a break in his acting career when he picked up a lollipop during an audition and earned a role in the hit film GO. Since then, Jimmy's shown up in a few other hit films including The Italian Job, One Hour Photo, and Coyote Ugly. Speaking of appearances, Jimmy was featured twice on the recent BOB&TOM album, Donkey Show, and pops up all over the internet in a number of online videos.

 
 
Henry Phillips sings "The ballad of Greg's Cauliflower Ear"  
The Flute-Man Cometh
Better known to our audience as "Flute-Man Greg," Greg Warren first charmed us with stories about children who have fathers that hunt for bigfoot and the odd behaviors of his forty or so uncles. But it was his piece on playing the clarinet in high school that really cemented his place in BOB&TOM Show history, especially when he introduced us to the phrase "hit 'em with your flute, Greg." Among his other accomplishments, Warren is also a former state champion in wrestling, has a cauliflower ear, and is a regular on the BOB&TOM All-Stars Comedy Tour.
 
 

A Man on the Move
Comedian Ruben Paul, not to be confused with the actor who played Pee Wee Herman or the fat guy who won American Idol a few years back, has been keeping pretty busy. Not only does he have a new album in the works, his also been testing the waters of the acting world. Ruben has appeared in the movies Ground Control, Deliver Us From Eva and Pensacola Wings among others. As you can see, Ruben is a man on the move, but he still finds time to continue his work on the road touring the comedy club circuit. Ruben's comedy has been featured on Comic View, The Late Late Show and HBO Comedy Showcase just to name a few.

Dirt On My ShirtYou Might Be an
Author if...
If you were to say that Jeff Foxworthy made a good decision when he left his $30,000 a year job to go into standup comedy, we sure wouldn’t argue with you. Having taken his brand of southern comedy into almost every form of media imaginable, there aren’t many folks out there who haven’t heard the phrase “you might be a redneck if…” Though that phrase is only a small part of a hysterical act, it's helped Jeff become the author of a number of best selling books, the star of Ace Award winning comedy specials, the star of his own sitcom, the first comedian to ever have an album go triple platinum, and the man behind the extremely popular Blue Collar Comedy phenomenon. Currently Jeff is hosting the popular game show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader on FOX and recently wrote a new children's book titled Dirt on My Shirt, which is available now.

Goodbye Brett Favre
He started his TV career as a co-star of FOX's sketch comedy show MAD TV but, Frank Caliendo has since become America's go-to guy when it comes to impressions. That's because no cultural icon is safe from Frank's mimicking ways. He can do dead on impressions of a number of celebrities including John Madden (gushing over now retired Brett Favre), Charles Barkley, President Bush, Robert DeNiro, Dr. Phil, Robin Williams and the entire cast of Seinfeld. These days, Frank can be seen on his popular late night program Frank TV on TBS, during football broadcasts on FOX (including this year's Super Bowl), as a frequent guest on Late Night with David Letterman, and most recently as the pitch man (or men) for Dish Network.

geechy guyWhat a Guy
Most standup comedians are well-traveled, but last year Geechy Guy took things to a whole new level when he embarked on his Every Station in the Nation tour of BOB&TOM Show affiliate stations. That means if you're listening to BOB&TOM on the radio, Geechy Guy visited your town. But now that this whirlwind tour is over, and Geechy is back on a normal schedule, he can relax while doing what he does best, making off the wall observations and delivering jokes as a master of misdirection.

 

Costaki EconomopoulosLet's Talk to Costaki
For almost a year now, Costaki Economopoulos has been calling in to treat us to a regular segment that for the longest time didn't have a name or a format, but those minor details have been fixed. Well, it still doesn't have a format, but it does have a title, The Economonologue. Known for his clever writing, Costaki's able to take the things he sees and hears in everyday life and turn them into comedic observations you won't be able to believe you haven't thought of before, and will never be able to forget.

 

Tim BedoreHere He Is...
It's been a long seven days since we last visited with comedian Tim Bedore, which is why we're so eager to have him back on his special line, ready to deliver another exciting edition of Vague But True. Live from his home in Minnesota where he's seated comfortably at mission control, Tim shares his thoughts on life, society, politics and his day to day activities, presented in the form of in-depth, entertaining editorials. Over the past few years, these musings have helped us learn a lot about Bedore, including his predictions for 2008, the lack of advice from his parents, his dream of playing baseball for the Cubs and his theory on how animals are trying to wipe out our species.

 
Sean Altman is Jewmongous
Now that you know Sean Altman is "Taller Than Jesus," you may want to know a few more things about him. Formerly of the a cappella group Rockapella, Altman now makes a living as part of the new breed of "Jewish Hipster" comedy. Along with his debut album Jewmongous, he's also responsible for four other CDs including What I Like About Jew, alt.mania and his newest project, Losing Streak.

Watch Out For Bears
Comedian Mike Birbiglia is man of deep thoughts. He's a man who sleep walks. But, he's also a traveling comedian which means he's not only on the road a lot, he's also got plenty of free time. Mix those three factors together and you end up with a little something he likes to call his Secret Public Journal. The Legions of adoring fans who have signed up for his newsletter get his very secret yet very public writings e-mailed directly to them on a regular basis, but out of respect for those who haven't joined, Mike is going to give us a call to do a reading live on the show!

 

Fix-the-Joke, Zany
The humorous and huggable Bob Zany is set to deliver his eagerly anticipated Zany Report and we couldn't be more excited. Because he's had a full week to prepare, we're sure Zany will be bringing his A-material for what is sure to be the biggest, funniest, most spectacular report of all time (no pressure, Bob). If for some reason you aren’t exhausted from laughing when it’s all said and done, there's always BobZany.com where you can test your hand at punch line writing by playing Fix The Joke Baby. Pick up one of those "Salmon: The Other Pink Meat" T-shirts while you're at it.

 
Monday on BOB&TOM

A Song For Any Occasion
Tim Cavanagh is a man who can come up with a song about anything, which is a skill that comes in quite handy when he sits down to write. Some of his topics are ripped right from the headlines (Yam-boy) while others come from his own demented mind (99 Dead Baboons), the calendar (Equinox), or his own life experiences (Comedian on Vacation). But no matter the subject matter, each one is accompanied by his often under appreciated guitar stylings, and his backup singers known as the Cavanettes. This past Friday, Tim debuted a brand new "Leap Day" song, so who knows, maybe he'll even have another new tune when he visits us on Monday.

Roasting History
Each week Scott Dunn takes our audience on a trip through history. But unlike that boring old professor you had back in high school that everyone through paperclips at, Scott turns this normally uninteresting subject into a ten minute comedy routine. So far he's skewered Ben Franklin, World War II, Lewis and Clark and even the Lincoln Assassination, and he's not "dunn" yet. This Monday he'll be back with another history lesson, and you'd better pay attention because their will be a quiz.
