Dr. Gonzo
Back in the early 80′s, Dr. Gonzo was one of the biggest names in comedy. Not only was he one of the most successful acts of the day, he was one of the guys that helped usher in the comedy boom. More than just an observational comic, Dr. Gonzo (also known as John Means) also played guitar and performed parody songs. His songs were so good in fact, he often toured with some of the biggest rock bands of the day. After a decade of performing, however, Dr. Gonzo decided to hang it up, and go back to living the life of John Means. There he became a teacher and opened a few restaurants. This wouldn’t be the end of Dr. Gonzo though, over the past few years he’s gotten the itch to take the stage and is now touring across the country.
Pauly Shore
Stand-up comic, actor, writer, director Pauly Shore tasted super-stardom in 1990 when his precedent-setting MTV show “Totally Pauly” hit the airwaves to major fan approval. The show ran for six years, leading him to television and film roles. In 1993, he wrote and starred in a one-hour HBO television special, Pauly Does Dallas, which drew in even more loyal fans.
He had roles in films from 1988, providing supporting comedy relief, but it was the wildly popular Encino Man (1992), partnered with Sean Astin and Brendan Fraser, that put Pauly on the map. Films followed, including Son in Law (1993), In the Army Now (1994), Jury Duty (1995), Bio-Dome (1996) and The Curse of Inferno (1997). He provided voices in animated features such as Casper: A Spirited Beginning (1997) and The Goofy Movie Franchise (1995/2000).
His first album, “The Future of America,” was named Best Comedy Album by the college music journalists in 1991, while the National Association of Record Merchandisers nominated his second album, “Scraps from the Future,” for a Best Sellers Award.
Pauly has made several appearances in recent years as a recurring guest on Howard Stern’s late-night show, as well as David Letterman’s talk show. He tours the country with his stand-up comedy act.
In 2003, Shore produced, wrote, directed and starred in Pauly Shore Is Dead, a semi-autobiographical mockumentary, and in 2005 starred in the reality television series Minding the Store. His production company, Landing Patch Productions, has produced multiple films and specials: Natural Born Komics (2007), Adopted (2009), Vegas Is My Oyster (2011), and Pauly~tics (2012).
