Comedians:

 

Edwin Okong'o, " The African Prince of Comedy "

Born in Kenya " sometime in the 1970's " , Edwin is one of the few funny

original African comedians in the US today. While growing up in Africa, he

enjoyed making people laugh, although his parents were not pleased. Like all

African parents, they wanted their son to grow up to be a lawyer, doctor,

banker or get a big government job where he could steal money and make them

rich. Edwin has shared the stage with many nationally known comedians such

as DC Curry, Michael Blackson, and Craig Gass. This up and coming comedian

continues to amaze people everywhere.

 

Norm Goldblatt (Quite possibly the only comedian with a PhD in physics!)

Norm has performed throughout the Bay Area for many years. A contributor to

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Norm's quips were quoted by the late San

Francisco Chronicle columnist, Herb Caen. His material touches on everything

from current events, politics, and Silicon Valley life to the world of

science. Among other venues, Norm can be seen every Monday night at the Rose

and Crown Tavern in Palo Alto as well as Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Club in

Sunnyvale, the last Tuesday of every month.

 

Ross Turner, Auctioneer (and more)

Ross has been committed to excellence and perseverance in the performing

arts ever since dropping out of the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic

Arts in New York City. Since then he's appeared at The Comedy Store in West

Hollywood and The Improv in both Tempe, Ariz. and San Jose. He was most

recently a finalist in the Rooster T. Feather's Comedy Competition in

Sunnyvale. Ross' comedy is clean (no poo-poo words) and accessible to all

audiences, except those with attention deficit disorders, and/or difficulty

comprehending English.

 

Brian Malow, Headliner (cuz he's the funniest, so he goes last)

A 10-year veteran of the comedy club circuit, Brian has performed in nearly

40 states (and has shown no interest in the others). He has been featured in

such diverse places as the Austin Chronicle, Cat Fancy magazine, and the

Arts & Entertainment Network. A life-long fan of science and science

fiction, Brian has developed a brand of intelligent, imaginative comedy that

takes delight in playful use of language, and is shot-through with a healthy

dose of science references. In his copious spare time, Brian produces and

hosts a live Internet talk show while continuing to perform at Bay Area

comedy clubs and for corporate clients nationwide.
