DJ Dangler

DJ Dangler’s comedy is high energy confluence of wit and passion. Equal parts energy and intellect, DJ melds East Coast cynicism and Midwestern charm to present a fresh take on Humans and other idiot species. A firm believer that nothing is off limits, as long as it’s funny, he connects on levels that are universal and unexpected. Equally at home in classrooms and barrooms, his comedy is exciting and hilarious.

DJ grew up in the Indiana pursuing anything that would garner him attention; sports, clubs, arrests, etc. He moved out East after college and intended on obtaining more worthless degrees, but became distracted by telling jokes, and really enjoyed it. He continues to do that today, traveling across America and developing his act. DJ is passionate about comedy, and believes that folks everywhere are fundamentally the same, and if you can make enough of those people laugh, you’ll never have to get a real job.

Thursday

Rich Vos

Best known from NBC’s hit reality show “Last Comic Standing,” Rich Vos is one of the most exciting and broadest headlining comedians in the country.  Back Stage Magazine says of Vos, “He has an uncanny ‘Everyman’ ability to likeably bond with anyone in the audience…” The excitement of a Rich Vos show stems from his unique, no-holds-barred perspective on relationships, divorce and parenthood.  Vos pulls no punches when it comes to comedy. On many occasions, he will deliver some of the quickest crowd banter, leaving audiences not knowing what to expect next.

Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, Vos struggled to beat drug and alcohol addictions.  He now celebrates his victories on stage with stories about kids, divorce, marriage and recovery. Besides being a proud parent of three beautiful girls, he just celebrated 25 years, clean and sober.

His strength as a live performer comes from years of headlining clubs across the country and performing shows for colleges, corporations and charities.  He is inundated with letters of thanks and gratitude for the good work he has done. When he is not on the road, he can be seen regularly at Caroline’s and The Comedy Cellar as well as other clubs all over New York City, which he calls home. Follow Rich on twitter and facebook.
