Joe
Wong Self-titled as an “all American immigrant,” Joe Wong came a long way from a rosy-eyed new immigrant to a blossoming comedian. His jokes range from ethnic, personal, political, observational to bizarre. Moving to Boston in late 2001 to take advantage of the well-established comedy scene, he quickly became a Boston favorite among comedians and audience members alike. Cheered on by his fellow comedians, Joe was a finalist in the 2003 Boston International Comedy Festival, thus making his way to the top eight of some 300 contestants from all over North America. He recently made his television on the Late Show with David Letterman and was a huge hit. He is also making big waves on Youtube.com. Currently, Joe performs regularly in major comedy clubs and colleges throughout the country, as well as benefits and corporate events. His volume of comedy material, his originality, and his "cut-from-a-different-kind-of-mold" character create a persona that audiences can't help but love. Also performing will be Kevin Camia and Edwin Li!

Jay Oakerson Jay Oakerson began honing his storytelling
style of stand-up comedy after a series of dead-end jobs, like driving
around strippers and escorts in his hometown of Philadelphia. This won
him the comedy portion of the Salem Orb-E Future Faces Competition and
gave him the chance to perform at New York City's noted comedy club
Carolines on Broadway. Now an eleven year stand-up veteran, the 32-year-old
New York City resident has made comedy his full-time job, flooring audiences
with anecdotal bits about ultra-macho frat boys or being too fat for
karate. Jay has performed at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal
and is currently starring and writing consultant on the hit IFC show
Z-Rock, where he received critical acclaim for his performance as “Neil”,
the sexually questionable owner of a NYC rock club. Jay has also appeared
on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and Dave Attell's Insomniac Tour, and
was a contributing writer for Chappelle’s Show. Also performing will be Kris Tinkle and Greg Edwards! 9/22 (Wed) -- 8PM (tickets)

Stand
Up Comedy Seminar Neil
Leiberman Celebrates 30 Years The Punch Line Comedy Club presents nationally
acclaimed Comedy Coach®, Neil Leiberman, for a one-day Stand-Up
Comedy Seminar on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2010 – 1-4 PM. Hundreds of Bay Area Comedians have utilized one-on-one coaching with Neil Leiberman, as well as, attended his annual comedy seminars. The Comedy Coach takes great pride in his many students who have achieved success in clubs, television, and films, but has always stayed in the background and refuses to take credit and break his students anonymity, unless they have given express consent to do so. He feels that the audience should never be aware the performer has been coached in any way and everything that is spoken must sound as if it were created on the spot. Leiberman kids, “It is a thrill to watch a longtime student go from open-miker to Opening act, to Feature act, to Headliner and then refuse to take my phone calls.” Neil’s recipe for success is his ability to conform to every student’s unique personality. Leiberman says, “It’s crucial that everyone I coach has an indistinguishable point of view, a clean act and a memorable one. Audiences are much more comedy-savvy than ever before, so we can no longer get away with jokes that sound like jokes. Everything needs to sound as if it is a personal recollection. ‘Two lawyers walk into a bar…’ is no longer acceptable.” The coach fell in love with the Bay Area when he attended San Francisco State University as a film/theatre student in the late 70’s. “This is the best training region for Comedians in the United States. There is more stage time available for fledgling Comedians than almost anywhere else in the world. The Bay Area is an extremely supportive comedy community.” Neil spent many years as a Stand-Up Comedian
and still performs occasionally in clubs, colleges and corporations.
He became The Comedy Coach when he realized that other Comedians were
asking his advice on their act and the advice actually worked. So, instead
of a life of traveling and breathing cigarette smoke (you could smoke
in clubs back then) he decided to create a job that never existed before,
a full time, one-on-one coach for Comedians, Actors, Speakers, etc. 9/26 (Sun) -- 1PM --- Phone

The Sklar Brothers
As actors, Randy and Jason Sklar have guest starred in many TV shows, including an Emmy Award winning episode of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, the cult FX hit “It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as well as Adult Swim’s Childrens’ Hospital. They starred as conjoined twins in a memorable episode of Grey's Anatomy and as warring agents on HBO's Entourage. Of the Entourage episode, Entertainment Weekly television critic Paul Katz wrote of their turn, “in the hands of comedic masters, The Sklar Brothers, they made it soar.” They’ve also appeared in such films as Touchstone's, Wild Hogs, and Fox Atomic's, The Comebacks. In November of 2006, Randy and Jason wrapped their 4th and final season of their critically acclaimed comedy series, Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic. They also wrote and appeared in a regular segment on ESPN's SportsCenter called, “The Bracket” from 2008 to 2009. In addition they regularly fill in as guest hosts for Jim Rome on his popular nationally syndicated radio show. As stand up comedians, they recorded their second half hour Comedy Central Presents in November 2009 and it premiered in March of 2010. Neil Strausse of the New York Times said of the Sklars, “Their comedy accepts the reality of being twins but does not use it as a crutch. Instead," noted Strauss, "they work with their physical and mental similarities and correspondences, their status as imperfect carbon copies of each other. In their comedy, the straight man is often an echo." Randy and Jason currently reside in Los Angeles, where they record their new weekly sports comedy podcast Sklarbro Country for earwolf.com.

Truly one of the greatest of all time.” -Louis CK "I've known Marc for years and I can tell you first hand that he's passionate, fearless, honest, self-absorbed, neurotic, and screamingly funny. And if that's not a delicious recipe for a night of painfully hilarious comedy... Oh, and he's a Jew!!!" -David Cross Also performing will be Ryan Singer and Janine Brito!
