Eric
André's monologues present audiences the mad kaleidoscope
inside his head – an exuberant process that makes being a
skate punk, goofball, and comedy whirlwind seem easy and thrilling.
In 2007, after only three years of stand up, Comedy Central selected
him for Live At Gotham, proving his precocious talent unstoppable.
He also plays the tuba.

Baron
Vaughn touts himself as “Actor. Comedian. Negro.”
This summer, Vaughn put his acting and singing chops to use in New
York City Center’s Damn Yankees. A classically-trained actor,
Vaughn exudes sophistication – even if that Shakespeare thing
is a little goofy. He has performed comedy at the HBO Comedy Arts
Festival, the Boston and D.C. Comedy Festivals, and on Comedy Central,
VH1, and MTV. He has performed non-comedy at regional theatres,
in shows such as Law & Order, and movies such as Cloverfield.

Victor
Varnado’s devilish knack for outrageousness and originality
plays out in his personal URL: bestalbino.com. Varnado has navigated
the adversities of born legally blind and an African-American albino
with unique sensibilities to become a nationally known actor and
comedian and, according to legend, a Jedi. You may recognize him
from appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Comedy
Central, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Adult Swim and My Name is Earl –
not to mention films with Arnold Schwarzenegger (End of Days), Eddie
Murphy (The Adventures of Pluto Nash), Julia Stiles (A Guy Thing)
and Werner Herzog (Julien Donkey Boy).
