T.J. Miller and Team Submarine
T.J. Miller is becoming one of the most sought after young comedians and actors in the comedy world. He has been named one of Variety's "Top 10 Comics to Watch," as well as one of Entertainment Weekly's "Next Big Things in Comedy." He was just seen in the comedy Our Idiot Brother opposite an all-star cast led by Paul Rudd. Last year he was seen in a number of major studio films he appeared opposite of Jack Black and Jason Segel in Gulliver's Travels and in the dramatic thriller Unstoppable opposite of Denzel Washington. Additionally, he co-starred in She's Out of My League, where he stole scenes opposite Jay Baruchel, and he also voiced the character 'Tuffnut' in the hugely successful animated film How to Train Your Dragon alongside Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler and Craig Ferguson. Miller also had a role in Universal's comedy feature Get Him to the Greek with Russell Brand and Jonah Hill.
Miller is currently crisscrossing the country performing his critically acclaimed stand-up act. In June he recorded his first hour long stand-up special for Comedy Central in his hometown of Denver and he also has a comedy oriented pop/hiphop music album on Comedy Central Records. Comedy Central has featured him on their "Hot List" special which focused on the top 10 stand-up comedians of the moment. Miller hails from Denver, Colorado, and toured with Second City in Chicago for almost two years. He also insists on reminding people that he was the Regional Winner of the Sierra Mist Search for the Next Great Comic in 2005.
Team Submarine is Nate Fernald and Steve O'Brien. They met in Chicago where they performed regularly at the acclaimed iO Theatre and were a featured act at Chicago's premiere stand up showcase Chicago Underground Comedy. Recently, they've moved their stand-up/sketch hybrid act to New York City, where they were nominated for an ECNY award, featured in The Onion, Sketchfest NYC and released their debut comedy album Correctamundo!
They've put a new twist on the classic two-man act and have taken it to colleges and festivals across the country, including the TBS Just For Laughs Festival where they were part of the Mr. Show reunion "Bob and David and Friends."
