Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt first hit the nation scene after landing a reoccurring role on the sitcom "The King of Queens," but his true love is actually stand-up comedy. As a self professed ‘geek,’ Oswalt’s isn't shy about focusing on some of the nerdier aspects of life such as comic books and 80’s hair-metal bands. But don't think this means he doesn't tackle the more cerebral issues like politics and American society in general because, well, he does. You may also recognize Patton from the films The Big Fan, Pixar's animated film Ratatouille or the TV show "The King of Queens." In recent news, Patton has just released his hillarious new memoir Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, and will be starring in the new film Young Adult. Patton on twitter and facebook.

Heywood Banks

Anyone who has ever spent any time listening to the BOB&TOM show has no doubt heard a song by legendary comedian Heywood Banks. That’s because Heywood’s catalogue of classic tunes includes fan favorites like "Big Butter Jesus," "I Like Summer," "Toast," "18 Wheels on a Big Rig," "Punjab" and "Wiper Blades" just to name a few. In fact, Heywood has appeared on 36 of BOB&TOM’s comedy albums, more than any other artist by far. We’ve just been informed that Heywood may be adding to his already extensive list of songs when he visits us next. Now we’re just hoping he knows the lyrics. Check out Heywood in "GeoPirates."

Mark Morfey

When Mark Morfey made it as a PGA Golf Professional, you might have thought he had it all, but then, you would have been wrong. While golfing was one of his passions, he was still missing the thrill that only telling jokes in front of a live audience could provide. That left him with only one choice, become a standup comedian. Now Mark is both a Golf Pro and a standup comic, and loves his two professions equally (unless one starts paying better, then he has no problem picking a favorite). The way he describes it, both jobs are really about the same. They each require good rhythm and timing, and neither involve random drug testing.

Ryan Stout

When you go see fresh faced, clean-cut, suit wearing Ryan Stout perform, you may hear some slightly objectionable material about abuse, suicide and people who cut themselves, but you’re not going to hear any swear words because there’s no need for filth in comedy. This former Boy Scout is able to sell his wickedly witty “offensive humor” to audiences because the honesty, insincerity and self-righteousness he exudes is just so darn likable. Stout was not only the winner of the Boston International Comedy Festival, he has been featured on "Conan," "Chelsea Lately," Comedy Central’s "Live at Gotham," and as the host of MTV's "Spring Break."
