Patti Vasquez

While up on stage, comedienne Patti Vasquez is more like a close personal friend sharing humorous stories than she is a joke teller. Call her act "comedy with heart" or call it hysterically funny, Vasquez entertains audiences with her charming perspectives on politics, relationships and growing up in an Irish-Mexican-American family. Along with her storytelling, Patti keeps her audiences in stitches by pointing out the oddities in the everyday events and situations that anyone can relate to.

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.

Dwayne Perkins

He's Been Around

Brooklyn native Dwayne Perkins may be young in age, but if you measured in experience, he's a seasoned old vet of the comedy business. From appearances on Late Night With Conan O’Brien and Premium Blend, to his own Comedy Central Presents special, Perkins is no stranger to television. He’s no slouch when it comes to acting either, having starred in a number of commercials and in the films The Gristle and Target Audience 9.1. In one of his more interesting roles, Dwayne appeared on the show Faking It in order to teach a firefighter a lesson in stand-up comedy.

James Stephens III

One Man Show

James Stephens III is a self-proclaimed one-man show. And that’s not much of a stretch because he’s not only a comedian, he’s also an actor, impressionist and musician that mixers the best of each into one mega performance. Though it’s James you’re watching on stage, you may forget when he transforms himself into the likes of Garth Brooks, Ray Charles, Elvis, Kermit the Frog, Lionel Richie, Snoop Dogg, and Randy Travis. His TV credits include MTV, Comedy Central, HBO, VH-1 and BET.
