 Sean Kent
Sean Kent has quickly become a critical and audience favorite. His live show was labeled “… brilliant and profane” by Cinameblend.com and his first CD “Sex, Drugs and Politics” was hailed as “An instant classic” by XM Radio and is in heavy rotation there and on Sirius. Sean has also been featured comic on Myspace.com and Rolling Stone Magazine singled out one of the jokes Sean wrote for The Comedy Central Roast of Pam Anderson as “… the best moment of the night.” Of course Sean is still most widely known for his roles as a series regular on Seasons 1 and 3 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing where critics labeled his performances “Edgy and daring…”
Sean also continues to make frequent TV appearances. This year he’s been a featured commentator on E! Entertainment’s popular countdown show 40 Smokin’ On-Set Hookups and has more TV spots coming soon. In the past he’s written or appeared on an array of shows ranging from The Best Damn Sports Show Period on Fox Sports Net to CBS’ long-running Yes, Dear. However Sean’s first love continues to be stand-up and he logs up to 50 weeks a year at clubs and colleges, looking for the perfect audience, the perfect show, and the perfect moment somewhere in America (or Canada).
WRITTEN FOR OR APPEARED ON: Last Comic Standing Seasons 1 and 3 (NBC); 40 Smokin’ On-Set Hookups (E! Entertainment Television); The Comedy Central Roast of Pam Anderson (Comedy Central); The Bob and Tom Show (nationally syndicated in over 150 markets); The Best Damn Sports Show Period (Fox Sports Net); Yes, Dear (CBS); Filter (G4); Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials (CBS); The Free Speech Show (KMPC 1540) and Friday Night Videos (NBC).
Ross Turner
Mr. Turner studied acting at New York’s American Academy of Dramatic Arts where he discovered that putting “Mr.” before his name gave him a great deal of assumed credibility. Founded in 1883, the American Academy is the oldest acting school in the English-speaking world, and the finest institution from which Mr. Turner has ever dropped out.
After years of stage acting, commercials, film and voice-over, Turner began writing comedy professionally in 1992; creating laughs for radio, Web sites, graphic novels and comic books. By combining his stage and writing experience, it was only a hop, skip and a jump to performing comedy himself. Within a few years, the hopping, skipping and jumping had become the bounding, bolting and loping for which he has earned critical acclaim. The press has variously described Ross as “a nimble wit… biting and quirky,” “Woody Allen-esque” and “appearing Friday and Saturday.” While he has no big television credits, Ross often goes out of his way to mention that he has made numerous guest appearances on QVC’s Craftsman Workshop.
Grant Lyon
Oscillating between moments of hyperactivity and a laid back surfer attitude, Grant Lyon reveals his sixth grade personality on the stage. Growing up in a strict household with a large group of siblings who are brilliant, talented and great big show-offs, Lyon discovered he could seek refuge in silliness. His funny skills, mired in his drive to be the center of attention, now enable Lyon to share the tales of his short life in his refreshingly unique voice.
Though barely an adult, Lyon has been around. He grew up in Los Angeles, moved to Chicago, went to Sacramento and ended up in Santa Cruz. He discovered stand-up while playing collegiate soccer at UC Santa Cruz and unfortunately for his soccer coach, the passion of his life changed.
