Comedian Jim Holder is an 18-year veteran of stand-up comedy who has headlined comedy clubs from coast-to-coast. Jim started his career at The Comedy Workshop in Houston, Texas, home of the "Texas Outlaw Comics" such as Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks.

"Bill Hicks was the first non-famous comic I ever saw live and it changed the way I thought about comedy forever! The Outlaw Comics didn't look like comedians I saw on TV. These guys owned the stage like rock stars! You never knew what was going to happen next!"

From those early influences, Jim developed the passion for stand-up comedy that he carries today. With an attitude aimed at making people laugh uncontrollably, Jim strikes incredibly close to home with his cynical descriptions of everyday subjects. His comedy is sometimes silly and hard-hitting, often spontaneous and interactive, but always funny. The question Jim receives most often after his show is "When are you coming back?" VISIT WEBSITE

Comedian Rahn Hortman never thought that one day seasoned veterans of comedy would give him personal praise for his own stage show being "refreshing" and "a departure from the norm". But fittingly, nothing about Rahn's journey to the world of stand-up comedy has been normal. Rahn credits his 5th Grade Teacher as the first to nurture his natural urge to entertain. Impressed by Rahn's good grades, but frustrated by his penchant to distract classmates with his jokes, the comedian-in-training was granted the last fifteen minutes of class to do "his show" as long as he composed himself during the first forty-five!

Rahn credits the earliest influences to his humor to Bill Cosby and Martin Lawrence. Bill Cosby's ability to tackle diverse subject matter without uttering a single curse word, and Martin Lawrence's natural gift of representing the "ordinary guy" combined to form the foundation for Rahn's vision. What resulted is a unique blend of profanity-free banter, with pointed observations about everyday people that leave no one safe.

Since relocating from Milwaukee to Tampa, Rahn Hortman has become a crowd-favorite at comedy hotspots such as The Improv and Sidesplitters. He is the champion of the W-MOR TV Channel 32 “Comedy Challenge,” and finished first out of seven finalists in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Jokers Wild Contest. VISIT WEBSITE

Comedian Al Romas began his career in comedy in the mid 1980s, cutting his teeth in the open-mic circuit of Virginia. His performances in Norfolk bars and Virginia Beach clubs before audiences of rowdy college students, rowdier sailors, and sunburned tourists allowed him to hone his act, and he soon graduated to paid gigs throughout the region.

Within a few short years of his start, Al found himself living in New York, working full-time as a standup comic and logging tens of thousands of miles while working clubs and colleges up and down the East Coast. Al’s hilarious material and his natural rapport with his audiences also got him gigs opening for some of the biggest names in comedy, names such as Jerry Seinfeld and Dennis Miller.

Al is a firmly established headliner who has delighted audiences in an impressive list of venues ranging from Radio City Music Hall to the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines to Las Vegas, with countless gigs in between. Al also has numerous television appearances under his belt, including VH-1's "Standup Spotlight," A&E's "Evening at the Improv," and Comedy Central's "Short Attention Span Theater." VISIT WEBSITE

Comedian Mark Evans has spent his entire life in the south. His "Southern...not stupid" tour has been taking clubs by storm all across the country and at the same time, erasing the myth that all southerners are a bunch of inbred pig farmers!

Mark brings a perfect blend of humor and sarcasm which points out the lighter side of the dumb things we see and hear everyday.
