JOSEPH ANTHONY (HEADLINER) Joseph's father was an Italian immigrant, who entered the United States just after WWII and began his career as a longshoreman at the age of 17. He quickly climbed up the management ladder. His mother was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised Joseph on: delicious dishes, overbearing love, inherent O.C.D. … and, incidentally, had a mean right hook - for someone who stood only 4' 11!" Joseph studied writing style and screen writing at the New School for Social Research, in New York City. He learned the basics of filmmaking at the College of Staten Island, NY. He studied the Meisner technique of acting under Joanna Beckson (Ray Romano's teacher), herself a student of the famed Actors Studio. In January of 1990, he stepped onstage at PIPS Comedy Club in Brooklyn, New York. He immediately found the avenue for all three of his artistic passions – writing, acting and stand up comedy. |

JT TAYLOR (Emcee) “JT” Taylor has been a favorite of the East Coast comedy club scene for over 25 years. His mixture of naughty, but never offensive humor, his character voices, and his quick wit, which has been seen at Catch a Rising Star, Caroline’s, BET’s “An Evening at the Apollo Showcase” in NYC, as well as top Universities, and clubs, has made “JT” an instant hit with audiences. “JT” has opened for such various top acts as Bob Nelson, Gallagher II, as well as the Rev Bob Levy from the Howard Stern show. |
