JASON ROBINSON
(appearing with Susanna Lee)
Wed. Sept. 26 through Sun. Sept 30
Rated SR
After figuring out that being funny in business meetings was not endearing to his employer, Jason realized that he did not fit into the corporate mold, kissed his career as an internet consultant aside and hit the road as one of the fastest rising comedians in the country. With a show that embraces the idiot in all of us, taking a look at life through Jason’s viewfinder will leave you a laughing wreck, unable to function as a normal part of society ever again. Drawing from his childhood experiences, while using facial expressions, and uniquely manufactured sounds, Jason never fails to enlighten, surprise and simply entertain.

SPECIAL PERFORMANCE
THE SANDMAN
Wed. Oct. 10 through Sun. Oct. 14
Rated HR
The Loony Bin’s favorite comedy hypnotist returns! Watch as he takes volunteers from the audience and puts them under his spell. Maybe you or one of your friends can be one of the stars of the show!
VALARIE STORM
(appearing with Ryan Wingfield)
Wed. Oct. 17 through Sun. Oct. 21
Rated SR
This “good ‘ol gal” from Florida brings her Southern Belle humor to the stage with hilarious effect. A favorite of men & women alike, her material has a wicked sophisticated twist. The only girl in a large family, this self-proclaimed tomboy brings enthusiastic animations, a likeable personality and an unique voice to the comedy stage.
I don't understand women either!

RUSS NAGEL
(appearing with Keith Pelt)
Wed. Oct. 24 through Sun. Oct. 28
Rated R
“America’s Funniest Biker Comic,” Russ covers topics as diverse as marriage and family life to topless bars and drinking in a very unique, lightning fast comedy style. As seen on Showtime’s Comedy Network and on Comedy Central.
JAMES JOHANN
(appearing with Clint Nohr)
Wed. Oct. 31 through Sun. Nov. 4
Rated SR
With a self-deprecating sense of humor and a high-energy style blended together to create an unique onstage persona, James relies more on his brain than the profane. His comedy often hits upon the universal theme of failure, providing a truthful and hilarious reflection of life as he sees it. Kansas City born & raised, James has toured with Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy.

BILLY WAYNE DAVIS
(appearing with Chris Dowell)
Wed. ..hrough Sun. Dec. 23
Rated SR
Getting his start at Zanies Comedy Showplace in Nashville, TN, Billy has had the honor of working with Colin Quinn, Kathleen Madigan, Bruce Bruce, Lisa Lampanellie, and the late Mitch Hedberg. He has most recently been on tour with Ralphie May. With an approach that’s laid back with a bite, Billy Wayne waxes philosophic about college life, homophobes, and why his first born will be named after garnish. Audiences love his quick wit and always leave wanting more.

JOHN WESLEY AUSTIN
(appearing with Randy Chestnut)
Wed. Jan. 2 through Sun. Jan. 6
Rated SR
The singing cowboy comic teaches us all, “That ain’t right!” Working the circuit for over 16, John has honed his side splitting, outrageous stand-up routine. Throw in a guitar, parodies of country favorites and a few original hits, and you’ve got yourself a comedy show that’s a knee-slapping good time.
