His machine gun style of delivery and animated facial contortions combined with quick improvisations and non-stop physical comedy leaves the audience wishing they had his energy and wanting to give him a dose of Ritalin. Forget "high energy"-- this is frantic! His shows are always a most memorable comedy experience and club owners and managers have gotten used to fielding questions about when Dale will be returning.

MANAGERS CHOICE Carl Labove toured with Sam Kinision & The Outlaws for 16 years until Sam's death. Carl was a regular on Roseanne, Seinfeld and performed with Jim Carey in Ace Ventura and seen on Leno's Tonight Show. Hyper-Hysterical! One of the most physical comics touring today! His act senters around a unique storytelling style in which he incorporates quick-witted improvisation with physical reenactments of his tales. "I'm a scene-ist. I do comedy scene work. I bring up a subject and then I perform it. It's no jokes." In the case of Carl LaBove, it can be said he is a combination of both performance artist and stand-up comedian. He is definately one to be seen.

Mike Armstrong should say he's the ex-cop from the Bob and Tom Show.  Also, put in as seen on Comedy Central.  Plus, everything after the speed traps part needs to go. Mike's  an ex-cop - He'd stop cars and warn the speeding drivers about the speed traps up ahead.” “I think that when I quit the police department three other cops lost their jobs. They simply didn’t need that many internal affairs officers anymore!” His kids are funny, too. When asked by his teacher about his lucky rabbit's foot his son responded, “It was the only thing left in the trap… pretty lucky huh?” When the teacher called Dad to complain about the youngster’s behavior, Mike offered his true feelings . . . “Shut up! I’m not married to you!”

How does a little show called NBC’s Last Comic Standing grab you?  Fact: he finished top six this current season, no big deal.  Doug is a series regular on VH-1’s Best Week Ever.  He also makes recurring appearances on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.  On the classic sitcom Friends, he had the nerve to hit on Jennifer Aniston.  He has his own half-hour special on Comedy Central, is a recurring character on The Sarah Silverman Program, and oops, almost forgot, got Larry David in a headlock on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm.  If that’s not enough for you, he’s a creator/writer/star of The Marijuana-Logues, a show that’s been a hit (small pun intended) in clubs and theatres from Los Angeles to New York – and drew a bongload of rave reviews. In 2006, High Times Magazine named Doug Stoner of the Year.  He has his own documentary called Super High Me based on a joke from his standup act. He also expresses his love of movies on Superdeluxe.com and in podcasts available on iTunes.

When you think of a comic that is crazy like Jim Carey and as energetic as a five year old boy who hasn’t had his riddilin, you have just described the comedy style of Chris “Boom Boom” Johnson. Chris could be called the Kurt Warner of comedy, because he spent eight years in the grocery store business before becoming a stand up comedian. His unique way of looking at everyday situations in a comical sense led Chris to translating some of the most unbelievable stories into hilarious comedy bits. Chris just likes to have fun in life and it shows when he is on stage, inviting the crowd to have fun with him, while he puts on one of the most energetic shows on the comedy circuit today. He likes to talk about his childhood and after doing comedy found that a lot of people can relate. The audience walks away laughing and talking about things they had long forgotten. So, if you are ready for a high energy show that will leave you in stitches, then Chris “Boom Boom” Johnson is a comedian that you should NOT MISS.
