Erik Anker

George Gordon

George Gordon is a comic who likes talk about bands and his obsession with the movie 'Alien.'

George Peyton Gordon III (yes that is his real name) is a comedian from Dale City, VA, (or as he likes to call it, the great state of Virginia). He currently lives in New York City where you can see his stand-up almost every night, then argue with him about things like which is the better Weezer album-Pinkerton or Blue (definitely Pinkerton)-or why 'Alien' is better than 'Alien's (because it just is). He has been in the New York Underground Comedy Festival and his writing has been included in the blog Rock Bottom. (Read it.) He has an unhealthy obsession with using parentheses.


Rob Ryan

Rob Ryan's style is a perfect blend of clean, relatable observational humor wrapped in an energetic delivery. Audiences love that Rob not only shares the thoughts parading through his mind but he shows them, with vivid characters and spot-on delivery. Rob's intelligent witticisms combined with his infectious story telling make his shows not only entertaining but unforgettable. To tell you any more though would be giving it away.

Rob Ryan, like many comedy greats, hails from Long Island and has taken New York City by storm. He is a presence in the NYC scene performing nightly. He Headlines at Colleges across the country and was also recently voted the 'Funniest Person on Long Island.' Rob is a contributing writer for a number of sketch comedy groups in New York and L.A. and has recently teamed up with 'The Reel Public,' an on-line sketch comedy group, writing several on-line viral video hits for them. His work has been described as "witty" and "almost genius" by the DC Shorts Film Festival.


Kevin McCaffrey

Kevin McCaffrey is a comedian and writer based out of New York City. Since 2004 he has been a contributing monologue writer for The Late Show with David Letterman. Kevin has appeared on Letterman many times as an actor, once being hosed down by Dave with a fire extinguisher. To his knowledge, this is a distinction Kevin shares only with Richard Simmons.

Kevin also currently appears as a commentator on TruTV's series "The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest" where he says snarky things, mostly about unsuccessful criminals.

"McCaffrey's set will go beyond monologue one-liners, but expect the same sort of laid-back persona of a late night talk show host." -NewCity Stage (Chicago, IL)

"...very friendly, extremely funny..." -Chicagonow.com

"Kevin McCaffrey is a name you should know." -Pioneer Press (Evanston, IL)

Adam Pateman

Adam Pateman is a New York-based comedian originally from Vancouver B.C. who loves bull-dogs, curry, and writing bios in the third-person. He recently recorded his national half-hour comedy special, which will air this year on The Comedy Network. He was also the winner of Vancouver's People's Choice Comedy Competition in 2009 and was featured in The Vancouver Comedy Festival and on XM Radio, Rooftop Comedy, various TV commercials, and the film Nightmare at the End of the Hall. Pateman's comedic perspective is that of a grown-up child of the 90's, examining the identity of his generation, marbled with absurd simulations of sounds from day-to-day-life.
