Headliner – Tom McGillen

Tom delivers a common sense cutting edge comedic observation that leaves audiences laughing till it hurts. His show features a crazed cast of characters that include 'Austin Powers' an 'Out-Back Aussie' and everyone's favorite befuddled deputy 'Barney Fife.' Tom's gives us an insight into his family who are anything but normal, a father who pulled his own tooth, a favorite Uncle and his feathered boa who can also be a favorite Aunt depending on the occasion.

In Tom's act there is something for everyone to identify with. Tom disputes the fallacies of interpersonal communication and the politics between men and women while dating and in marriage. Tom's view of World conditions includes lampooning the French after a recent trip to Europe. 

Tom's proficient guitar playing is featured in his original music and song parodies.

But it is Tom's three-character spoof of the 'Godzilla Movies' that garners nonstop, table-pounding laughter and standing ovations. The 'Los Angeles Times' says..."McGillen's Godzilla movie re-enactment is awesome, the best in the business, an amazing boisterously entertaining unforgettable parody of a badly-dubbed horribly acted monster movie." 

Tom is featured in the movie 'Joe Dirt' starring David Spade, Christopher Walken and Kid Rock. Tom has appeared on Showtime and Comedy Central. Tom has also shared the stage with such comedic luminaries as Jay Leno and Rodney Dangerfield. 

Feature – Tom McClain

His trademark Football Jersey and backwards ball cap lend no indication to his intelligent thought provoking humor.

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.

Host – Aaron Wilson

Local funny man Aaron Wilson takes making people laugh seriously, "One thing I try to do is make people pee their pants, if I can do that I know I've done well.  Getting his start in Elko, Aaron hosted pig auctions then moved on to funerals and finally got his big break at an open mic in Sparks.  Since then he's appeared several times with Tahoe Comedy North in the Crown Room at the Crystal Bay Club and Tahoe Gal.  "Eventually I'm going to go back and buy that dang pig farm!!"  Look for Aaron on Comedy Central and HBO.
