The Dwight Stuff
"Vile File" mastermind Dwight York isn't just a funny comic with a style and delivery all his own, he's also one of the best joke writers and a masters of misdirection you'll ever hear. York comes loaded with an endless arsenal of clever one-liners and short stories ranging from the innocent “They say gambling is a sin, but I’m betting god will forgive me,” to the slightly more bawdy “My last girlfriend was quite a catch. From her I got syphilis, gonorrhea and athlete's foot." Many of these jokes are as fun to read as they are to listen to which is why Dwight has compiled the best of the worst and put them in his book, The Vile File.

Fit as a Fiddle
Sam Bush won his first awards for playing the fiddle before he had even reached puberty, and that was just the beginning of what would become a successful career in music. Known as one of the founding members of the New Grass Revival, Sam Bush has been called a modern day Bill Monroe and is one of the main attractions at the annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Telluride, Colorado. Though he’s often found working alongside other legendary artists whenever they need a world-class fiddler, Bush has also released a number of hit solo albums, including his brand new project, Laps in Seven.

Bad Cop Equals Good Laughs
Comedian Mike Armstrong was such a bad cop, when he left the police force, three internal affairs officers had to be let go because there was no longer a need for their services. Whether he was pulling over motorists to warn them of speed traps down the road, monitoring birds with his radar gun or making U-Turns to avoid arriving on the scene of an accident, Armstrong personally helped strain police relations with the public without even trying. He may have struck fear in the hearts of everyone in town when he was working behind the badge, but now that he's a civilian and making a living on stage we all feel a whole lot safer. Mike just recently released a brand new comedy album, Comedy Police, and is featured on the new BOB&TOM project, Donkey Show.

FACTOID - Mike's wife has a twin sister. He claims that this means he knows exactly what his sister-in-law looks like naked.

Jim Short on Comedy
How many different accents can you fit into one standup comedian? Jim Short is attempting to find out. Originally from Australia, Short began doing standup comedy in Austin Texas, but is now based out of San Francisco. Whether or not the audience can understand him, Short is winning them over one joke at a time using a unique mix of personal observations on pop culture, world media, history, and television. The last time he was here, Jim shared with us his opinion on the little Microsoft paperclip that helps you write papers and let's just say it wasn't a favorable one.

Living The Dream
If someone were to tell you they were performing as a comedy club MC six times a week and having to host karaoke after each show in the dead of winter 60 miles from the Canadian border while living in a 6x8 motel room next to a French fry factory, you might think they had it all. Chad Daniels on the other hand felt he needed something more in his life. That's when he decided to take his comedy on the road and began performing at clubs, colleges, bowling alleys, and Elks’ Lodges across the nation. Not long after, Chad performed as a finalist in Comedy Central’s Laugh Riots competition, which in turn got him enough attention to make his network television debut on the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Chad has since released his first comedy album, Two Minutes for Stale Hacking.

Got a Myth? They'll Bust It
When you’ve got an urban legend that you want debunked, who you gonna call? The Mythbusters of course. Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage have been disproving (and occasional confirming) popular legends and myths on The Discovery Channel for a few years now, but before their television fame, they’ve held a number of other crazy professions. Some of the more interesting bullet points you’ll find on their resume include model builder, wilderness survival expert, chef, interior designer, animator, scenic painter robot inventor, special effects guru and carpenter. Individually they’ve worked on some of the biggest movies and TV commercials, but together they’ve done some really great work like figuring out if you can swing over the bar on a swing set or finding out how much water slows down a bullet. Starting July 12, Discovery will begin airing all new episodes of the popular weekly series every Wednesday Night at 9PM.

Tuesdays with Zany
Legendary comedian Bob Zany is set to deliver his eagerly anticipated Zany Report once again and we can barely contain our excitement. Having had less than a week to prepare, we're wondering if Bob is ready for the daunting task ahead, to present what he thinks is top-notch material in hopes of creating fits of laughter that will last all day. We're guessing this isn't going to happen, which is why he's also going to be presenting the Bing Crosby Joke of the Week and Fix The Joke Baby. And if that's still not enough, maybe you'll enjoy the new catch theme song.

Clean Up Act
Jesse Joyce began his standup career in the comedy clubs, but not in the way you'd think. His first gig was actually as a janitor, working at the Pittsburgh Funny Bone cleaning up bathrooms and scrubbing urinals. In between cleanings, Joyce was perfecting his craft and eventually traded in his mop for a microphone, becoming the club’s emcee. Once Joyce had outgrown his gig as an opening act, he made the move to NY to pursue his theater acting, writing and standup comedy careers. His standup has been featured on Entertainment Tonight, the short-lived Jokevision Network and on Lifetime, and he’s won two Addy awards for commercial writing.

FACTOID – Jesse Joyce’s uncle was a clown in The Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus and his great uncles were founders of the International Juggling Association.
