Dan Davidson
Comedian Dan Davidson easily walks the line between sophistication and pure goofiness. Those talents mixed in with his midwestern likablity and biting improvisational skills, give "Double D" the rare gift of being able to say anything and still keep the audiences in stitches. Dan is the youngest of six children, so performing standup comedy is not only a career, it's also therapeutic. He's a veteran of over 3000 performances and has been seen on both Comedy Central and FOX. Follow Dan on twitter and facebook. Penn Jillette
Penn Jillette is the larger, more audible half of the famous duo Penn & Teller. For over 30 years, they've entertained audiences with magic, comedy and anything else they set their twisted minds to. With a deep booming voice, clown college education and expertise in juggling, Penn has become the showman of the group, and perfectly compliments Teller’s silent style of magic. Together Penn & Teller have become one of Vegas' most attended shows and have also popped up in a number films, TV series and specials. Recently, Penn & Teller stared in the Showtime award winning series "Bullsh*t," which exposed the frauds and fakes in today's society. Jillette is also the author of the new book Everyday is an Atheist Holiday. Follow Penn on twitter and try his new Celebrity Apprentice Ice Cream available at Walgreens. Heywood Banks
Anyone who has ever spent any time listening to the BOB&TOM show has no doubt heard a song by legendary comedian Heywood Banks. That’s because Heywood’s catalogue of classic tunes includes fan favorites like "Big Butter Jesus," "I Like Summer," "Toast," "18 Wheels on a Big Rig," "Punjab" and "Wiper Blades" just to name a few. In fact, Heywood has appeared on 36 of BOB&TOM’s comedy albums, more than any other artist by far. We’ve just been informed that Heywood may be adding to his already extensive list of songs when he visits us next. Now we’re just hoping he knows the lyrics. Check out Heywood in "GeoPirates." Tom Mabe
Tom Mabe war against the telemarketing industry began back when he was working our of his house as a struggling jingle writer. Whenever the phone would ring, Tom would answer the phone hoping to hear a client on the other end, but to his dismay, the voice would almost always be a telemarketer attempting to sell Mabe something he didn't need. To fight back Mabe began waiting by the phone in anticipation of solicitors, ready to make them sorry they ever picked up the phone by using oddball characters and outlandish situations to make their lives a living hell. Check his new CD, King of the Ring. Follow Tom on Twitter.
