Alexandra McHale -
Alexandra McHale was thrilled to make her network debut on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She’s also been seen on CBS’s The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and New Joke City with Robert Klein on the Metro Channel. After her appearance at the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, The Hollywood Reporter cited Alexandra as one to watch “who scored points with quick barbs.” Alexandra grew up in Connecticut before relocating to New York City, where she became a lifetime member of the prestigious Actors’ Studio and studied with acting greats such as Paul Newman, Sally Field and Ellen Burstyn. She is a frequent commentator on VH1’s I Love The 80’s, Supersecret TV Formulas and The 100 Most Cheesetastic Video Countdown. In addition to appearances on network television, Alexandra has headlined at over 300 colleges and was voted 2002 and 2003 Female Entertainer of the Year by the readers of Campus Activities Magazine, been nominated for 2005 Female Entertainer of the Year and was nominated Performer of the Year by the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities.

Ty Barnett

Ty Barnett-
Ty was always told he was funny, but was too worried about failure or being embarrassed to do any type of performing in public. He did not start performing until after the passing of his best friend, which made him realize he had not done anything with his life he wanted to do. After playing a number of open mikes, he started to get more comfortable with performing. But it wasn’t until one performance where he was BOO-ED off stage that he knew he wanted to be a professional comedian. After driving all over the Northwest to find any stage to showcase, he quickly became a favorite of the up-and-coming comics; going from open-mic to paid performer within 1 year.

Known for his ‘slyness’, he has gained a reputation for putting a humorous spin on taboo topics (racism, politics, addiction, state of the country). Quoted as being ‘smart’, ‘hysterically funny’, ‘refreshing’ (much like lemonade on a sunny day… after hot sweaty sex on a leather couch), and ‘a joy to watch’. He has been very well received by a wide range of audiences (young, old, gay, straight, all races, creeds, midgets, and really tall people). He has worked with a number of national and well known performers (pick a # between 1-99), from Damon Wayans to Lewis Black. Television credits include: ‘The Fugutive’, K-Swiss commercials and Comedy Central. In 2003 Ty placed 2nd on ‘Star Search’.

Listen to him, watch him, he’s just trying to be happy.
