Nate Bargatze
Nate grew up watching his father who is a world class magician and decided to follow his footsteps in the entertainment business. Since he made his television debut on CMT Comedy Stage in 2007, he has had two appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, performed on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, and at the 2008 Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival in the 'New Faces' category receiving critical acclaim in the Hollywood Reporter. In 2007, Nate wrote for the Video Game Awards. Nate also taped his own Comedy Central half - hour special for 2011 and won New York's funniest from the New York Comedy festival and won the Boston Comedy festival competition in 2010. Nate recently returned from his third tour in Iraq performing for the troops in Baghdad. He continues to keep the momentum going with his laid back style working every night in New York City comedy clubs when he is not on the road.
Travis FromLongville
Travis views society as a different species of people and simply explains his thoughts on issues of politics, religion, and sex. The world of Travis is simple, but he breaks the stereotypes of your typical redneck with smart social observations based on an honest 'don't give a shit' attitude.
Tonee Bell
Tone has moved about the country, spending most of his time in Dallas where his standup career was born and recently voted one of the Funniest Comics in Texas. Comedically, he sets a new tone to sweating the small things in his life and provides a vehicle for any audience member to take advantage and enjoy the ride. Although he now lives in Los Angeles you can see Tone at The Laugh Factory, Comedy Store, Flappers in Burbank, or still catch him monthly at the Addison Improv (Texas) for "TB presents: What Women Want."

Vic Henley
A true comedy veteran, Alabama-born Vic Henley has done it all. Co-author of a national bestselling book "Games Rednecks Play" with fellow comedian Jeff Foxworthy, Vic has appeared on HBO, CBS, NBC, FOX, MTV, BRAVO, CMT and just about every other stand up comedy show on television. He was a VH-1 VJ and has his own Comedy Central Presents half hour special as well as performances on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Vic's material has been featured on nationally syndicated radio shows like "John Boy and Billy" as well as SIRIUS XM's Raw Dog and Blue Collar comedy channels.
Vic's innate ability to turn perfectly reasonable adults into guffawing idiots has made him a crowd favorite all over the world. Whether it's HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Montreal's Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, or the granddaddy of them all-The
Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, Henley has drawn rave reviews and packed houses. His success at Edinburgh led to a slew of BBC TV appearances on stand up and talk shows, some where he was the first American to perform.
Kenny Zimlinghaus
Kenny "Z"imlinghaus is a comedian from New York City. He became a comedian after years of being a very fat child. Kenny is a regular at the Charleston Comedy Festival and those who have seen him perform have said "bless his heart." He has performed all over the country and co-hosts a daily morning show on SIRIUSXM's "Cosmo Radio." Kenny's act never disappoints. Only himself.
