Playfully self-delusional, wildly entertaining, and possessing a booming voice dripping with insincerity, James P. Connolly, our first guest, has been described by industry professionals as a cross between a "young Steve Martin and Stephen Colbert."
Host of “Live from Here with James P. Connolly” on XM Channel 154 National Lampoon Comedy Radio, James has been a finalist in every major comedy competition and festival entered, including Comedy Central’s “Laugh Riots,” the Boston Comedy Festival and the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. You may have seen him on Comedy Central, HBO, host of VH1’s “Movie Obsessions,” a Grand Comedy Champion on Ed McMahon’s “Next Big Star,” SiTV, UPN, numerous National Commercials, voice over, multimedia, as well as weekly airplay on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio Comedy Channels.
Our next guest Ken Koskella took a 35-year break from the performing arts to become a very successful business executive. After retirement, he began performing stand up comedy. Ken won the Diego Comedy Competition and the Avalon Comedy Comedy Competition. He was featured on the TV show “Stand-up It's Thursday Night." KRON TV San Francisco. He was also host/mc/producer of The Sixteen Mile House Comedy Showcase. Additionally Ken is producer/performer in the "bundled" comedy show, The Suburban Comedy Tour. (Four comics with different styles from four different generations of the "suburban experience.") Ken has been called, "A tanned, dapper Rodney Dangerfield" by the Oakland Tribune.
Ross Turner performs across the United States and has shared the stage with Dana Carvey, Sue Murphy, Bobby Slayton, Robert Schimmel, and Last Comic Standing's John Heffron and Dat Phan, and many more. When his agent can’t pull in the favors required to get him club gigs, Ross tears it up at corporate events of Fortune 500 companies like Comcast, Cisco Systems, and 7-Eleven. He also produced the successful “Comedy Workout” and “4 Over Forty” comedy tours.
Trying to classify Ross’s style is an exercise in futility. Always clean and original, Ross uncovers the hidden humor in such diverse subjects as people who talk to their pets, open marriage and vegetarianism, which make him a favorite of vegan polygamist dog groomers everywhere. The press has variously described Ross as “a nimble wit…biting and quirky,” “Woody Allen-esque,” and “appearing Friday and Saturday.”
