James Johann
Growing up in a world where he was saturated with country music, bad haircuts and Catholic schools, James Johann had no choice but to turn to stand-up comedy to keep from going insane. Well, it was either that or professional therapy, and this option was a lot cheaper than a shrink. And while he may look young, don’t let James Johann's boyish appearance fool you, he’s actually a long-time veteran of the joke-telling business. In those years behind the mic, he's been able to hone his high-energy comedy and perfect his self-deprecating sense of humor into what audiences now enjoy today. James on twitter and facebook. Dwayne Perkins
He's Been AroundBrooklyn native Dwayne Perkins may be young in age, but if you measured in experience, he's a seasoned old vet of the comedy business. From appearances on Late Night With Conan O’Brien and Premium Blend, to his own Comedy Central Presents special, Perkins is no stranger to television. He’s no slouch when it comes to acting either, having starred in a number of commercials and in the films The Gristle and Target Audience 9.1. In one of his more interesting roles, Dwayne appeared on the show Faking It in order to teach a firefighter a lesson in stand-up comedy. Roy Wood, Jr.
Though recently featured as one of Entertainment Weekly's 12 comedian's to watch in 2009, we've known how great comedian Roy Wood, Jr. is for some timenow. He was featured on the first ever BOB&TOM Comedy Central special, is a regular on our Comedy All-Stars tour, and is a frequent guest in the studio. Known for his love of chicken nuggets and knack for prank phone calls, Wood is a regular contributor for a number of radio stations, was a semi-finalist on Star Search, has been featured on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and HBO. You can also find him on the new TBS sitcom "Sullivan & Son." Roy on twitter and facebook. Sean Morey
Comedian Sean Morey has been a friend of the BOB&TOM show for longer than we can remember and his songs have been popping up on our albums since the 80's. But we're not the only ones that enjoy his music; he recently placed first and third in the comedy division of the International Songwriting Contest with his tunes "Dear Santa" and "The A.D.D. Song." Along with those two favorites, Morey is famous for his other tunes "The Man Song," "The Woman Song," "The Man That Doesn't Exist" and "Dickin' Around at Work."
