Tim Bedore
Vague But TrueFor longer than we can remember comedian Tim Bedore has been calling in or stopping by to deliver an editorial in which he talks about whatever happens to be on his mind. These musings can range from his relationship with his daughter, to hot topics in the news, and even updates on how the animal kingdom is waging war on mankind. From the Animal Conspiracy to his daughter Claire, Tim takes us inside his mind, and with the help of a few sound effects, puts together one of our favorite features. He's also a fantastic stand-up comedian and often takes part in the Canadian Mist B&T Comedy All-Star Tour. Costaki Economopoulos
Easy For You To SayBack 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. Greg Hahn
He's Got the BeatWhen comedian Greg Hahn takes the stage, he does so with an energetic, all-out style of physical humor, one-liners and crowd work like you've never seen before. And once he lets loose, there's no stopping him because Hahn doesn't have time for laughs, he's out to create immediate pandemonium and panic. Hahn can wear an audience out with his rapid-fire jokes and leave them holding their sides, trying to catch their breath. Greg is one of the most manic comedians to ever enter our studio, something that was only amplified when we sat him in front of a full drum set last time he was here. Find the ringtone below. Drew Hastings
Fresh off the LinksSince Drew Hastings visits our studio more often than our cleaning crew, we figured he'd be a natural to have in while Tom is out recovering from his vacatin. Drew is not only one of the most brilliant comedians working today, he's also one of the only metrosexual "Gentleman Farmers" in the midwest. Unless you know of another guy raising pigs and growing corn while wearing a black mock turtle-neck sweater. Mark Sweeney
Hello? Sweeney-SanIf you ask him, or check out his media kit, Mark Sweeney will tell you he's a "professional comedian," even though his credits also include acting roles in "Boston Public," "The Visitor," and "Days of Our Lives." Along with those TV programs, Sweenz has also starred in several independent films which leads us to believe he's done a lot of porn. The four years he spent in the US Marines were forgettable, either that or he just can't remember them. Though his military history is a bit fuzzy, he's constantly being reminded that at some point he attended college, which is why he's still on the run from the student loan collectors. Doug Williams
Speaking His MindIf you want to see a show where comedians can give you straight talk about important issues, than "Martin Lawrence presents 1st Amendment Stand-Up" is the program for you. And if you tune into this show every Friday at 11pm on Starz, you'll meet host and comedian Doug Williams, who also just happens to be perfect for you. Along with comedy, Williams has also been featured in the film The Nutty Professor, and the TV shows "The Bernie Mac Show" and "The Mind of the Married Man."
