Judah, then says "I have a million. A million gigabytes. As a matter of fact, I'm not even here right now. I'm getting beamed in from my computer at home. This is a pre-recorded projected digital image you're watching. Right now, I'm at home, taking a huge dump, just relaxing. That's what a million gigs will get you. But stick with 80, it's probably a good level for you." When not doing stand-up, Judah does a lot of acting work. He's currently a series regular on the Thursday night NBC comedy 30 ROCK , co-starring with Tina Fey & Alec Baldwin. Judah's been in over countless other movies including Meet the Parents, Zoolander, Date Movie, Wet Hot American Summer, Feast, and Showtime.

Heralded as "more than a standup -- a standout," by comedy legend Jim Carrey, Lampanelli is a cross between Don Rickles, Archie Bunker, and a vial of estrogen. She even won accolades from The King of All Media Howard Stern, who called her "a true original and a brilliant comedy mind who'll steal the show every time." Lampanelli is a regular on “The Tonight Show” and Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio shows. She recently joined the ranks of comic greats and added her first ever one-hour HBO comedy special, "Long Live the Queen," to her resume. In addition, her first book, "Chocolate, Please: My Adventures in Food, Fat and Freaks," hit bookstore shelves on September 15, 2009. Lisa's rise to the top of the comedy food chain began in 2002 when she was the only female comedian invited to skewer Chevy Chase on the “NY Friars Club Roast” on Comedy Central. She soon became one of the few white comedians to perform on BET's "Comic View," cementing her huge crossover appeal. Lisa appeared on Comedy Central's "Last Laugh 2005" and her headlining performances on the Comedy Central roasts of Pamela Anderson and William Shatner, among others, received national attention. Also in 2005, Lisa rocked Comedy Central once again in her back-to-back appearances on "Premium Blend" and on the enormously rated "Roast of Jeff Foxworthy" -- again, the only female invited to roast the man of honor. In 2009, she became Comedy Central's first-ever female Roastmaster at the Roast of Larry the Cable Guy. Lisa's 2005 one-hour special, "Take It Like a Man," was a hit with the comedy network yet again, and the CD and the DVD of the same name hit #6 on the comedy charts. Then, in January 2007, Lisa's second one-hour special, "Dirty Girl," debuted on Comedy Central and Warner Bros. Records, and reached #4 on the charts.

In 2002, while performing on Broadway in The Full Monty, she had an epiphany: "I need to be home with my kids." After spending months alone at home with the kids, she had another epiphany, "I need to get away from my kids." At least occasionally! Frightened by her new suburban New Jersey neighborhood, and missing the stage, she begged friends to put her up in stand-up venues so she could talk about her angst. "Stand-up was something I always did backstage because my ADD made it very difficult to do the same thing onstage 8 shows a week. It was something I always wanted to do, but never had the guts." Four years later, you can see her every week at many of New York's premier comedy clubs. She's also performed on the road in Cleveland, Charlotte, San Francisco, San Jose, and New Jersey. Last summer, she was featured in an article in "The New Yorker," about a sitcom that was written based on her life. On television, she's been seen in Fox’s "Comics Unleashed, with Byron Allen," NBC's "Last Comic Standing, Season 4," a Bravo documentary called, "Gay Hollywood," (no, she's not gay...yet), and on Fox News Charlotte co-hosting a half hour comedy/news program called, "The Edge." On the radio, she appeared on Sirius "Wise Guys," with Big Pussy from the Sopranos.

Always willing to be as self-revealing as she is probing of the audience…this affectionately edgy style has become Marion’s trademark. The result is a hilariously personal show that makes the audience feel like it was custom-made just for them. Marion has toured with Linda Ronstadt, opened for Lewis Black, Judy Gold, and Robert Klein…as well as having shared the stage with Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Roseanne Barr and Robin Williams. She has performed for 1000+ seat rooms and for A-lister private events, including Gilda’s Club and Ethel Kennedy’s annual fundraisers. Marion has also been seen on NBC’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” and ABC’s “The View.” In addition, she worked as the Charles Grodin show’s comedy producer, making regular appearances on the MSNBC show, as well as conducting comedic celebrity interviews. Marion also hosted her own radio show for CBS, over a two year period, where her guests included friends, like Lisa Lampanelli, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Kyra Sedgewick, and Lewis Black. In addition to her standup, Marion has most recently produced two highly successful fundraisers, starring such luminaries as Martin Short, Lewis Black, Regis Philbin, Charles Grodin, and Paul Shaffer. Marion knows firsthand that laughter is truly the best medicine, having survived breast cancer, divorce, and various addictions – including an inappropriate relationship to Haagen Dazs. Her dream is to be able to integrate her diverse life experiences, genuine concern for people, and unstoppable ability to make EVERYTHING funny...in a forum that would be both entertaining and helpful to other people.

And grammar and run-on sentence fragments. And of course, being hilarious to his demographic, which is anyone who might know the word “demographic.”

Russ Meneve is on the fast track to becoming one of comedy's next big breakout stars. The Hawthorne, New Jersey native has been performing comedy in and around New York City for the past eight years, where he has honed his skills to an edge as sharp as his material. Nowhere was this more evident than on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show," where Russ recently made his debut to rave reviews from host Jay Leno and an appreciative studio audience that he had rolling in the aisles. Writing and performing stand-up comedy is life's blood for Russ. Of his experience as a stand-up comedian, Russ says: "I've never been happier. Comedy is a true art form, and when done creatively and skillfully, it is something very special." This deep respect for the art of comedy is apparent in Russ' performances. He is a tireless writer and performer, often performing seven days a week at a handful of comedy clubs throughout New York City. Like many other aspiring stand-ups, Russ got his start by performing and, admittedly, bombing in a high school talent show. But it was that one experience that led him to his true calling. After a stint at as an accountant for Price Waterhouse, Russ left the mundane 9-to-5 life behind to pursue his dream. He entered the crucible of all crucibles for show biz hopefuls, New York City, and began performing at open mike nights around town. His strong work ethic and smart sense of humor made him a natural for the stage. Among Russ' numerous credits are appearances on NBC-TV's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "Last Call with Carson Daly" "Last Comic Standing," and "The Caroline Rhea Show." Ironically, all three shows are taped at the NBC Studios where Russ once worked as a page. Says Russ: "It's kind of weird to go back to perform stand-up where I worked as a page, seating people, getting coffee, getting yelled at by a guy with a clipboard and a headset. It sounds dismal, but it was show business. It's even more meaningful for me that I can go back as a comedian with a goal realized and a poignant memory of what motivated me to get there." With a keen eye sharply focused on the future, fully armed with an arsenal of powerful material, Russ Meneve is one comic poised for great success and the sky's the limit.

She only just got her drivers license a couple you years ago. She spent a year at Millbrook Mansion with her father who introduced Timothy Leary, and later, Paul McCartney of the Beatles to LSD. After an accidental "trip" of her own at 5 years old, she returned to the care of her mother who was trying to juggle the full time career of finding good grass in bad neighborhoods with her responsibilities as a mom. Throw in two years on a commune by herself, two years in London with her dad, a decade of temp work and her angst was complete. Coincidentally, a comedian was born. Vanessa just did The World Comedy Tour in Australia in 2005 as well as, Comedy Central Presents which first aired February 2005. She was recently featured on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, Dateline, and Oxygen as well as doing the Montreal Just for Laughs tour with Kevin Pollock.
