Headliner – Bert Kreischer  
Bert Kreischer grew up in Tampa, Florida. While attending Florida State University, he was discovered by Rolling Stone Magazine and given the title 'The #1 Party Animal in the Country' in a six-page article entitled 'The Undergraduate.' This article set his comedy career in motion. Oliver Stone optioned the rights to his life, book deals were offered, and he moved to New York City to pursue Stand-up Comedy. He began working at the Boston Comedy Club, within a year Will Smith signed him to a television development deal, he moved to LA, and shortly there after was co-hosting 'The X-show' on FX. A few months later he signed his second television development deal with CBS, where he made his acting debut starring in the CBS/20th Century Fox pilot, 'Life with David J' with Elliot Gould. Bert has also appeared on Comedy Central's 'Premium Blend', 'Shorties Watchin Shorties', VH-1, FX's 'Hurt Bert', 'The Shield', 'Last Comic Standing 2', 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', and currently hosts Spike TV's 'Fresh Baked Video Games' which airs every Saturday night at midnight. 
 
Bert also tours clubs and colleges all over the country and performs regularly at the Hollywood Improv. 

Feature – Tom McClain

Comedian Tom McClain is probably best known as the larger than life, hard hitting funnyman from Sacramento. His trademark Football Jersey and backwards ball cap lend no indication to his intelligent thought provoking humor. His razor sharp material along with his exceptionally quick wit tantalizes audiences from beginning to end. Within the first few minutes, the audience feels like they have known Tom for years.  

Tom draws from his many rich life experiences to relate to his audiences. Whether he is discussing growing up in one of Sacramento’s roughest neighborhoods or fulfilling his 4 year military commitment, audiences get a clear image of where Tom came from. He has a unique ability to share the most intimate details of his current marriage and his past relationships.  Often described as “Everyone’s Favorite Drinking Buddy”, Tom has an uncanny ability to draw out the fun loving, often immature adult in all of us.  

Professionally, Tom is making an impact on the local and national scene. Tom has appeared on a number of CBS Television Network hit shows like “CSI: New York”, “Without a Trace”, “Shark”, and the short-lived “Viva Laughlin”.  He performed in front of over 17,000 rabid Kings Fans as a part of an NBA Pre-game show at Sacramento’s Arco Arena. His hometown enjoys Tom’s frequent appearances on the Kings TV Broadcasts as well as his occasional performances on the popular “Good Day Sacramento” television program.  

Tom has worked at a number of Comedy Clubs, Casino’s, Colleges, and Special Events. He is a regular at reputable clubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Reno, and Sacramento. He is a regular Headliner at the popular “Downtown Comedy Club” in Los Angeles. 

Tom has a reputation as a tireless writer with the improvisational skills to banter with any audience. Tom McClain is an extremely hard worker and is rapidly gaining respect in the comedy world.

Host – Tonya Kaye

Tonya Kaye has spent the last decade honing her skills not only as a comic but as an actress as well, appearing in a number of television shows and movie appearances which include, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The West Wing, the original Man Show, Looney Tunes the Movie with Steve Martin. Tonya has also opened for, Tommy Chong and Larry the Cable Guy.  

Originally from Oklahoma City Oklahoma she’s a force to be reckoned with as she spins her down home humor and a wicked southern drawl. She holds nothing back in her fast paced and unexpurgated look within herself and the world around her. Her likeability the moment she walks onstage is obvious and you would never expect the Pandora’s Box of comedy tidbits about to be unleashed on an unsuspecting audience. Fasten your seat belts, its going to be a bumpy night!
