Headliner – Steven B
Stephen B began his comedy career in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1982. Within a few years, he was featuring in comedy clubs up and down the West Coast and by 1990, he was headlining clubs across the country and developing a reputation for being a clean high energy act.
After the birth of their fist son in 1991 and their twin boys in 1992 Stephen and his wife agreed that being on the road wasn't the best choice for their new family. He continued performing in local clubs and for corporate clients as he put the comedy career on the back burner.
He worked in Silicon Valley as a recruiter until the dot-com bust of 2000 found him without a job. It was time to get back to comedy.
Now some 26 years after he first took the comedy stage, Stephen B. continues bringing his clean, high-energy comedy to clubs and corporate audiences nationwide. His material ranges from the comical to the absurd, from silly to poignant and always hysterically funny! Stephen's show is based on real life experiences that as an audience we can all relate to and enjoy.
Stephen B has opened for headlining musical acts such as Manhattan Transfer, Al Di Meola, Weird Al Yankovic, Leon Redbone and Michael Bolton.
A finalist in both the San Francisco and the Seattle Stand-Up Comedy Competitions Stephen B. has performed on a variety of Comedy Central's Stand-Up Comedy shows and was featured on America's Funniest People.
Feature – Mike E. Winfield
Mike was born and raised in Baltimore, MD, where he loved life. Baltimore was not always recognized as the safest place to live, but Mike E., like a fly on the wall, observed a lifestyle he could not be a part of, but he managed to laugh his way through. In school, he portrayed an amazing charisma and oddly developed an infactuation with his female teachers, and with a lot of time and not a lot of positive male guidance created ideas about older women, domestic violence, and infidelity, all topics he discusses freely. Expressing himself and his unique story has never been an issue. He is a definite "Must See," especially with that big ass grin.
Host – Rowie
Rowie has been entertaining audiences with his wit, material and impressions since birth. A multi-dimensional entertainer, Rowie takes the crowd on a ride delivering razor sharp lines of deadpan cynicism with things you’ve thought but never had the guts to say. His clean and current topics are truly a refreshing experience.
Born and raised in Sacramento, Rowie spent his winters skiing and racing in Tahoe at Alpine Meadows. Rowie left Sac for Lake Tahoe in the 80’s to coach for the Squaw Valley Ski Team and chase the extreme skiing scene which was just taking off. Along with skiing he’s an avid golfer which keeps him busy year round.
He has opened for some of America’s biggest comedians. With fans throughout the country, Rowie’s act grabs your attention, keeps it, and makes you want to hear more.
Guest Spot – 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!
