Jasper Redd
Straight Out of KnoxvilleGrowing up in Knoxville, TN,Jasper Redd knew he was going to have to move out to the west coast if he was going to fulfill his dream of being in show business. In 2002, that’s exactly what he did, moving to San Francisco to begin his career in stand-up comedy. From there he moved to LA where he’s since been featured on Late Night w/ Conan O’Brien, BET and on Comedy Central Presents. Redd also landed a starring role in the feature film, Frankenhood. New York Dolls
The New York DollsSince the early 70s, the New York Dolls have been a polarizing and trend setting force but most of all they’ve rocked. The Dolls helped usher in the punk rock and glam-rock eras of music in the early 80’s becoming famous for their look as much as for their music. Though they took a few years off, the band has recently come back together to release a new album, Cause I Sez So, and to head back out on tour. The Dolls are currently playing in London, but will soon be back in the States for shows along the west coast and in Texas. Check their schedule for more tour dates. Costaki Economopoulos
Costaki Economopoulos is a comedian, true, but he's also a football fan. Those two factors alone make him the perfect candidate to give us a comedic look back at the NFL each week with his new feature that's also been picked up by The Huffington Post and Bleacher Report. With his Greek heritage, it's not surprising that he's been described as a “joke philosopher,” and we're sure he's not the only one saying that. Costaki is also a talented joke writer who's punchlines have been heard on "The Tonight Show," Showtime, BET, and MTV. Follow Costaki on facebook and twitter. Check out his new article on the Bleacher Report.
