Who has a bigger following that this hip, tell-it-like-it-is comic? His numerous television appearances has made him a favorite among audiences of all ages. His infectious smile and laugh are contagious.

Having released several CDs, Collins has toured extensively with his stand-up — most of which is made up of his own observations and matters to which diverse audiences can relate. He’s funny, and cleaner than most, but don’t think he’s going to G-rate any of the smart-ass thoughts that frequently spring to his mind.

Rich Little’s Dumb-ettes – A “Little” Tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes

Rich Little Dumb-ettes: A "Little" Tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes
Now available on iTunes!   Jonathan Winters - Cranky Calls

“If 10,000 frankfurters, 10,000 buns and 10 gallons of mustard can mean the start of a beautiful picnic then Rich Little – through his unique talents – has changed it all into a magnificent banquet by inviting more than forty of the best known personalities of our time to assist him in this slightly irreverent, but warmly affectionate, tribute to the great Frank Sinatra …

… Everyone has their own memories of Frank Sinatra. To the world at large, he was a matchless interpreter of the popular song. To film buffs, he was a fine and often sensitive actor. To the media, he was an irksome hell raiser whose escapades made him an easy target for the tabloids and the scandal sheets. But to Rich Little, who knew him for many years and performed with him on numerous occasions, he was … Well, why not let Rich tell it?” — Ken Barnes

“GLAMA winner for best comedy CD!”

It all began in 1990 when she entered a comedy contest at Kelly’s Piano Bar in New York. Having never appeared as a comedian before, she did her 3-minute routine and won! Each step of her career since has been met with rave reviews and incredible opportunities. Her audiences are simply crazy about her!

Suzanne Westenhoefer

After entering the world of comedy on a dare, Suzanne has been delivering gay material in mainstream clubs to straight audiences and proudly performing within the LGBT community ever since. She became the first openly lesbian comic ever to appear on television in 1991 on an episode of Sally Jesse Raphael entitled “Breaking the Lesbian Stereotype…Lesbians Who Don’t Look Like Lesbians.” She went on to become the first openly gay comic to host her own HBO Comedy Special in 1994, which earned her a Cable Ace Award nomination.

Maggie Cassella – Because I Said So

Maggie Cassella Because I Said So Comedy CD
Now available on iTunes!   George Carlin - Killer Carlin

Maggie Cassella used to be a lawyer. Then she discovered people like you more if you make them laugh instead of cry. So she quit the law business and now she performs, writes and produces comedy full time. Recorded LIVE at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto, Maggie’s irreverent take on the domestic domain guarantees that, once again, she will not be appearing on “Touched by an Angel” this season.

Because I Said So is a show of Maggie Cassella’s rants and raves on today’s news and yesterday’s headlines. No one is safe and nothing is sacred, and all of it is true. Well, maybe not all of it. But that doesn’t matter. Why? Because Maggie said so!

La Wanda Page – Mutha is Half a Word

La Wanda Page Mutha is Half a WordBeware the fruminous Bandersnatch … and here she is! Years of eating fire as the Bronze Fire Goddess have forged La Wanda’s tongue into a dazzling white-hot weapon. Like a cat-o-nine tails she lashes at the square society about her with rare humor and insight, heavily laced with sex-symbolism and womanly wiles.

La Wanda closes the gap between words and language in “Mutha Is Half A Word” and puts language through the most rigorous, bawdy, raucous jokes and gems ever to scorch the atmosphere. Words will never be the same!
