Alexandra McHale |
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. |

Sheng Wang |
Sheng Wang-
Taipei born, Houston raised and Bay Area based, Sheng Wang performs comedy inspired by personal experiences with intense honesty and ill logic. His refreshingly affable stage presence combined with a healthy penchant for absurdity and self deprecation make his comedy universally hilarious. He is the recipient of last year's "Dan Crawford Scholarship" award from the SF Punchline and is featured in the second season of "Live from Gotham" on Comedy Central. He's toured colleges as part of the American Eagle's Campus Comedy Challenge tour, will be appearing at Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival and is showcasing at the 2008 NACA National Convention as part of NBC's Stand Up For Diversity Tour.
