Born and raised in Harlem, NY the oldest of four brothers with an African-American mother and a Hispanic father, Smokey grew up with plenty to talk about, being the class clown.

In November of 2006, with the help of Jim Mendrinos, Lori Sommer, and Jessica Kirson, he took the stage for the first time and after he received his first laugh, he couldn't stop...picking on minorities. In 2009, Jon won 'Opie and Anthony's Funniest Listener Competition' for K-Rock in NY which cost them a flat screen TV that would go and put them out of business. As a writer, producer, and comic, he can now be seen all over the NYC area. <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7HJnf8nsMQ&feature=related" target=_blank><img src="images/button-see-video.jpg" width="190" height="58" border="0" /></a> </p> <p align="center" class="style17">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</p> <table width="264" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="9" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="style9"><img src="comics/headshots/92.jpg" width="250" height="318" align="right" /></td> </tr> </table> <h1 align="left" class="style9"><a href=comicdetails.php?c=92><span class="style3">C<strong>laudia Stavola</strong></a></span><strong> <br /> <span class="style5">Tours: LOL Variety, Bad Girls</span> </strong></h1> <p align="left" class="style9"> In addition to performing at clubs all over the East Coast, I also VERY briefly co-hosted the radio show "What's Your Problem" with veteran comedians Rev.

Great show for a roast, private party, benefit, fundraiser. For several thousand years of oppression, nothing brings the funny like coping with shared misery. Jewish humor is a revival of a style of comedy that was based entirely on suffering… Jews have always been really good at making suffering funny, whether it’s about the cruelty of a people or an appalling piece of sturgeon. American Jewish humor started in NYC at the Yiddish Theater on Second Ave. The jokes were about the anxiety of being a greenhorn with an old world accent. It was in the fifties when self-effacement and self abasement, paranoia, pessimism and the dread of being conspicuous were defined as the cornerstones of Jewish humor. So we decided we don’t want to give up the suffering... it seems to be working for us. So that’s why we’re doing this. <br /> </p> <p align="center" class="style17">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</p> <table width="264" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="9" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="style9"><img src="comics/headshots/113.jpg" width="250" height="318" align="right" /></td> </tr> </table> <h1 align="left" class="style9"><a href=comicdetails.php?c=113><span class="style3">K<strong>osher Comedy Tour</strong></a></span><strong> <br /> <span class="style5">Tours: Kosher Comedy Tour</span> </strong></h1> <p align="left" class="style9"> Peter Fogel Peter Fogel has worked on over 18 major television shows... performed in thousands of diverse venues and has given motivational keynote speeches at conferences and corporations across America.

He attended public school where he majored in not getting beaten up. He vaguely remembers being politely asked to leave at least one college, but do to the extensive extracurricular activities, he doesn't really remember which one. He's guessing not Ivy League. He has dreamed of being a stand-up comic since he first started writing this sentence. He's an avid squash player and vivisectionist; loves children, and collects poisonous spider eggs. During his last three years doing comedy, he has made more than a dozen people laugh. All kidding aside, Yonah is a regular performer at Gotham Comedy Club in NYC and his brand of humor is unique and hilarious. <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVTZKlkCHig" target=_blank><img src="images/button-see-video.jpg" width="190" height="58" border="0" /></a> </p> <p align="center" class="style17">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</p> <table width="264" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="9" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="style9"><img src="comics/headshots/16.jpg" width="250" height="318" align="right" /></td> </tr> </table> <h1 align="left" class="style9"><a href=comicdetails.php?c=16><span class="style3">E<strong>rika Wasser</strong></a></span><strong> <br /> <span class="style5">Tours: LOL Variety, Jewish, Bad Girls</span> </strong></h1> <p align="left" class="style9"> Erika Storm Wasser is a NYC based standup comedienne whose quick wit, and hard hitting material is a direct contradiction from her polite, and put together exterior. Neither of the aforementioned things get her laid. She's been called everything from "an adorable delight" & "riotously funny" to "borderline racist" however, as a standup or emcee, it is hard not to like, or forget, her. She is a weekly feature in InTouch Magazine, a rising force on the club circuit (Gotham, Comix), and is a producer of StandUp Social, a monthly show that always packs top talent. Her writing can be seen in both print and on TV, and her blog wideworldofwasser.blogspot.com, is a cult favorite. <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WAScZwXt7E" target=_blank><img src="images/button-see-video.jpg" width="190" height="58" border="0" /></a> </p> <p align="center" class="style17">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</p> <table width="264" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="9" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="style9"><img src="comics/headshots/112.jpg" width="250" height="318" align="right" /></td> </tr> </table> <h1 align="left" class="style9"><a href=comicdetails.php?c=112><span class="style3">T<strong>he Legendary Wid</strong></a></span><strong> <br /> <span class="style5">Tours: Variety, Prop, LOL Variety</span> </strong></h1> <p align="left" class="style9"> THE LEGENDARY WID is one of the funniest people to ever come from New Jersey.
