Chris Rich began her performing career as a theatrical triple-threat: an actress/singer/dancer in an endless stream of drama, opera and especially musical comedies: "I did 'Oklahoma'! so many times I qualified for Farm Aid." The past few years have brought much success: as a result of winning the much-respected Bud Light Ladies of Laughter Contest held at Caesar's in Atlantic City, Chris was given a long-running spot on Comedy Central's Premium Blend. That same year she appeared as a feature comedian on ABC's "The View" with Joy Behar, and most recently has been working in Atlantic City , opening for well-known stars such as Jerry Seinfeld, Roseanne, David Brenner & Gilbert Gottfried. Her charm, wit, and her ability to find the humor in life's absurdities have made Chris a favorite with audiences across the country. Family: "We were all long, thin, pale redheads. For Halloween, my mom used to make us tease our hair up and go out as a pack of matches." Sport: "Hunters are always defending themselves: "We're thinning out the herd! Can't let those deer overpopulate! This from the same guy that's got seven kids under the age of two in a mobile home." |

Johnny Watson is a nationally headling comic whose star is on the rise. He's earning a reputation as clever, with the charm of "the boy next door". Except that you wouldn't want to be his neighbor growing up... Watson, a kid from a dysfunctional home lived in some of New Jersey's seedier neighborhoods with his two brothers and two sisters. He learned to use his razor sharp wit to survive. “I was the poor kid on free lunch who always got my balls busted so since I couldn’t really fight, I had to be funny.” He started drinking when he was five years old and kept on going until high school (“I was burned out from drinking by the time I got to high school, so I became the designated driver before they had designated drivers,” he says). After briefly attending college in California, Johnny joined the Navy. Once he got out, he turned to comedy as a full-time profession (his grandmother implored him to become a comedian because “you can’t do anything else right”) And so ... a comedy career was born. Since then Johnny has taken life's lemons and turned them into lemonade which he freely shares with his fans! And from coast to coast they love it! |
