Brent Weinbach

Brent Weinbach's stand-up comedy is weird. He does a lot of characters, he's physical, and his humor is absurd. Here are some other words to describe Weinbach: deadpan, silly, obscure, unconventional, smart, stupid, post-modern, grass roots, Berlin, 1980's, tennis, bike riding, Virgo, Rygar, etc. The list goes on and on. Brent began his comedy career in the underground San Francisco scene, but now tours all over the United States at clubs, colleges, festivals, theaters, music venues, living rooms, tennis, bike riding, Virgo, etc. He also has a t-shirt with his name and his face on it.

Brent received the 2007 Andy Kaufman Award for innovation in standup comedy, has toured with the Comedians of Comedy, appeared at the Coachella and Bumbershoot festivals as well as Just For Laughs in Montreal, and was the creator and star of the Super Deluxe web series "Weinbach in Wonderland."

Bucky Sinister

Bucky Sinister is a San Francisco standup comedian and author. With a set of hard-earned chops from his misspent years on the punk circuit, Bucky's comedy continues the tradition of the storyteller comics such as Janeane Garofalo and Jen Kirkman. His comedic inspirations include Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Greg Proops, and Patton Oswalt.

On What Happens in Narnia, Stays in Narnia, Bucky tackles a harrowing, side-splitting array of personal and social demons such as video store renter shame, the most politically correct café in the entire United States, and atheism versus tidal wave obsessed twelve-steppers. Not to mention rock songs about heroin being used to sell birth control pills, the social phenomenon of 'Extreme Brads', real and imagined dates with Laura Ingalls and Wonder Woman, and a show-stopping tale about his non-monogamous punk rock speed-freak stalker.

Nick Flanagan

"In the future, when being hilarious is illegal, Nick Flanagan will surely (and deservedly) be sentenced to the electric chair." - Jason Woliner, Human Giant

A fixture in front of brick walls and behind chicken wire across North America, Nick Flanagan is a singular talent in the post-NAFTA underground comedy scene. Having long-since graduated from reading out of his well-thumbed joke notebooks, Nick’s endearing conversational deadpan, choice subject matter, and “sort-of pregnant” pauses have won him battalions of die-hard followers and/or comedy club patrons waiting on their second mandatory drink.

Either utterly fearless or perhaps born without the "shame gene," on "I'm Here All Weak," Nick tackles many popular topics from the annals of today, yesterday and day after tomorrow such as parents, life, balding musicians, video games, drugs, robots, irony, the G-Spot, food, and grammar. Throw not a pity party for Nick but for the world he so breezily and painstakingly describes.

“I’m Here All Weak is nine tracks of Nick Flanagan’s unique worldview and wordplay that ranges from deep to hilariously absurd to flat-out silly.” – A Special Thing.com

Nick also sings in the garage punk rock band Brutal Knights and is the Pop Culture correspondent for Toro Magazine. His writing has been included in Vice Magazine’s “Larfs Issue”, The Writer's Notebook [Tin House Books] and The Unknown Portraits [published by Magic Pony]. He was one of the earliest comedians in residence at Toronto's Drake Hotel and collaborated with photographer Davida Nemeroff for the Joke Club photo series. The Brutal Knights' Heave Ho music video will soon been seen on Tom Scharpling’s The Best Show on WFMU “Fantasia in Best Show Minor” DVD compilation.

Nick has performed at Comedy Death Ray, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, SXSW, the Mess With Texas festival, the F*** Yeah Fest, LA’s Spaceland, San Francisco’s Hemlock Tavern/Club Chuckles, NXNE, and Heeb Magazine's Storytelling series. And he’s performed alongside acts including Paul F. Tompkins, Todd Barry, Human Giant, Neil Hamburger, Josh Fadem, Arj Barker, TJ Miller, Aziz Ansari, Jon Lajoie, Morgan Murphy, Wyatt Cenac, Ron Lynch, The Constantines, and Matt & Kim.

Nick recently made his lead role debut in Moderation Town, a Stitch Media web series for the Canadian television & new media network, Showcase, about a small town that loses the local factory and survives by moderating the internet.
