Kevin Pollak

For the most part, audiences only knew Kevin Pollak as one of Hollywood’s finest character actors, forgetting that he is also one the best standup comedians in the country. But that would all change when Kevin, performing as Christopher Walken, uttered the sentence, “Frankenstein never scared me; marsupials do, because they’re fast.” In that instant, he had created a catchphrase that would remain in our usage for years to come. This isn't meant to downplay his fine film work in movies like A Few Good Men, The Usual Suspects and The Whole Nine Yards, but we’re talking about a piece that remains among B&T's most requested bits. On that note, Kevin has created a new podcast called "Talkin Walken" in which he only speaks as Christopher Walken. It's already cracked the iTunes Top 10 Follow Kevin on twitter. You can also buy Kevin's new book How I Slept My Way to the Middle.

Chad Daniels

If someone were to tell you they were performing as a comedy club MC six times a week and having to host karaoke after each show in the dead of winter 60 miles from the Canadian border while living in a 6x8 motel room next to a French fry factory, you might think they had it all. Chad Daniels on the other hand felt he needed something more in his life. Good thing he did too, because since then he's performed as a finalist in Comedy Central’s "Laugh Riots" competition, appeared on "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," and Comedy Central Presents and released two comedy albums including his newest one, Busy Being Awesome.

Reno Collier

Reno Collier began his career headed down the same path that most standup comedians find themselves on, the road to becoming an elementary school PE teacher. That road took an interesting detour when Reno came to the realization that teachers aren't normally among the top wage earners in America. To supplement his meager income, Collier decided his best bet was to become a part-time bartender at the local comedy club. This move got him more than a little extra spending money when one fateful open mic night he took a chance and came out from behind the bar to try his hand at comedy. It didn’t take long for Reno to permanently hang up his whistle and retire his gym shorts. Reno also recently served as the host of the NBC reality game show "The Great American Road Trip".

Alex Reymundo

With two 1-hour specials that aired on Showtime & Comedy Central, (Red-Nexican & Hick-Spanic) Alex Reymundo appeals to all demographics. Three words describe him best: "FUNNY as HELL." After 5 years of road gigging Alex went on to Los Angeles where he discovered an exploding Latino comedy scene. It wasn’t long before Alex was touring with greats like Paul Rodriquez and Ron White. This twenty year standup has widened his skills in three films, Permanent Vacation, The Movement and El Matador has done voice over work for many companies as well as Disney’s animated film Cars.
