Thomas Haden Church

Imagine That

Before being approached for the film Sideways, Thomas Haden Church had pretty much retired from acting and was content to live and work on his ranch in Texas. But after taking the part, he was thrust back into the spotlight when he was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the film. Since then, Church has gone on to star as Sandman in Spider-Man 3, won an Emmy for his role in the TV movie "Broken Trail" and has become the new voice of VW television ads. Church is also starring in the new Eddie Murphy film Imagine That, which opens this Friday in theaters everywhere.

FACTOID - Before getting into acting, Thomas Haden Church was a radio DJ and voice-over talent.

Bill Engvall

Aged and Confused

It was over a decade ago that Bill Engvall first became famous for his “Here’s Your Sign,” standup routine, and though that phrase helped launch into pop culture, it still can't compare with the fame that came from being part of the fab four known as The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Then, after dabbling in film with Larry the Cable guy in Delta Farce, Bill returned to TV in his very own TBS sitcom, "The Bill Engvall Show". In other news, Bill recently released a brand new CD, Aged and Confused, and will be debuting a comedy special by the same name Sunday, November 21 on Comedy Central. The DVD will be released the following Tuesday.

Costaki Economopoulos

Easy For You To Say

Back in 1993, Costaki Economopoulos was a man divided. Part of him wanted spend his time honing his skills as a standup while his more practical side urged him to finish his work as a graduate student at the University of Georgia. For the most part, his practical side won out, but once he graduated, the comedian in him took over and Costaki put master's degree to good use by becoming a full-time comic. 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," BET, and MTV. In other news, he's recently released a new CD, The Economonologe, and he has a daughter with the beautiful and funny comedienne Caroline Rhea.

With a bright observational humor, passionate views and a smooth charismatic style, Vince has learned how to get in people's faces and make them think while keeping them in stitches at the same time. Covering everything from hip-hop to self-respect, Vince has been featured on "Showtime at the Apollo," "The Late Late Show," Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," "Comic View" and "Sex and the City." Vince is also currently performing with the S.E.L.L.O.U.T. Comedy Tour.

BT

BT to Join B&T in the Studio

It was after he moved from the midwest and found new homes in Houston, Chicago and L.A. that things really started picking up. He has since been featured on the Sci-Fi program "Black Scorpion" and in the HBO movie Suckers. But that's not to take away from his stand-up skills. He's performed in 43 states, 3 countries, and is a member of the S.E.L.L.O.U.T. Comedy Tour.

Billy D. Washington

Tell Us a Joke, You’re the Piano Man!

Billy D. Washington’s skills as a pianist are so great that many people come up to him after his shows and ask “man what are you doin’ here?” The reason he chooses to perform in comedy clubs instead of concert halls is because he’s just as good at writing and telling jokes as he is serenading an audience. Washington’s impressive resume of television appearances proves that it pays to be multi-talented.In other news, Washington is currently performing with the S.E.L.L.O.U.T. Comedy Tour..
FACTOID – Aretha Franklin enjoyed Billy D. Washington’s act so much the first time he opened for her that she asked him to open her shows during her nation wide tour.

Bob Biggerstaff

It's Not the Size of the Staff...

Originally from New York, Bob Biggerstaff moved to Houston, TX while he was a freshman in high school. Some say it was this diverse upbringing that gave him the insight to appeal to a wide variety of audiences, others claim it's his ability to write funny jokes. He’s been featured on HBO, Comedy Central, Sierra Mist’s Search for the Next Great Comic and even NBC’s "Last Comic Standing." If you're trying to remember which guy Biggerstaff was, he says he's the fat one with the glasses.

Mike Speenberg

On the Road

Fueled by stories of home and family, love of country, and being drunk in public, Speenberg's comedy hits home with everyone of us who have lived through crazy step-parents, above ground pool parties, and square pizza with canned corn.
