RICH FRANCESE

Funny how?  Rich will show you how funny.  A Regular at the prestigious Gotham Comedy Club in NYC, and the world famous Comedy Cellar in NYC, Rich is legendary for his intelligent and well crafted material and improvisational genius on stage, he’s a killer!  It didn’t take long for him to get noticed by the television industry.  Rich has hundreds of television appearances, including Conan, where he was also a recurring sketch player, The View, where he had the honor of being brought back to the show faster than any other comedian in the history of the show, Celebrity Apprentice (With you know who), Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn where he was a recurring guest, Showtime, ESPN, MTV and many more.  Rich also was a writer for Saturday Night Live coupled with an occasional sketch appearance.  Rich’s recent special, “The Best Comedy Special Ever” was just released by DryBar comedy.  Rich also guest starred on Law & Order,  and appeared in over ten national commercials.  Rich also starred in The Italian American comedy touring stand up and sketch show “What Are You Looking At?” which was presented by many of the best theaters on the East Coast.  He was also selected to perform at the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival.

REGINA DECICCO

Regina DeCicco is the warm up comedian for “The View.” and recently appeared on The Sherri Shepard Show where she wowed the crowd with her funny stories and endearing personality.  ABC news hired Regina to do the warm up for both Joe Biden’s and Donald Trump’s Town Halls, and for the past three years Regina has warmed up the audience for NBC’s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Show.  If that isn’t enough, Regina has also been a guest contributor to The Howard Stern Show and is a favorite at the legendary Comedy Cellar in NYC.

JOSEPH ANTHONY

Joseph is undeniably unique.  A national headliner know for being a “powerhouse act,” and a true raconteur.  His obvious New York Accent and Italian American background tell you where he’s from, but there is more to Joseph Anthony.  Joseph is a true everyman who takes his true to life stories and turns his hardships and those of everyday people and spins a web of brilliantly hysterical humor that will get you laughing throughout the night and identifying as well!  Joseph has been called a master craftsman of his art form.

ERIC TARTAGLIONE

A dynamo on stage, Eric’s high energy and high likability translates into rapid fire laughs.  A national headliner, Eric is known for poking fun at his Italian upbringing and his shortcomings dealing with everyday life.  A multi-talented artist, Eric co-wrote and co-starred in the award winning Italian American themed play, “Shut up, Sit Down, and Eat!”
