Bill Burr
For the past decade, comedian Bill Burr has been working hard (performing over 300 shows a year) to establish himself as one of the finest standup comics in the business. It doesn’t matter if he’s performing on "Late Night With Conan O’Brien" or "Showtime at the Apollo;" Bill Burr finds a way to connect with any audience. In his early days of comedy, he did this by making fun of his lunatic father, but these days he covers everything from current events to, well, his lunatic father. Burr has been featured on "The Late Show with David Letterman," starred in two films, and has even popped up on "Breaking Bad." Follow Bill on twitter. Jimmy Shubert
Alive and Kickin'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 turned his eye toward Hollywood where he's made a splash on both the big in small screens starring in films like GO, The Italian Job, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith as well as shows like "The King of Queens," "Entourage," "ER" and "Monk." Recently Jimmy released an brand new DVD featuring a one hour standup special along with a short film titled Alive and Kickin'. Pat Dixon
