Submitted by Heather Broeker on April 21, 2010
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Every little boy continually dreams of what he is going to be when he grows up...a doctor, a rock star, an astronaut, a fireman, a truck driver, even the President of the United Sates. However, most of these are just little boy fantasies that disappear with age. For comedian David Spates, his boyhood dream became a reality.

Submitted by Jessamyn Cuneo on August 31, 2007
While there isn't anything funny about the state of this country, perhaps a funny man could turn it all around. Meet Doug Stanhope, a stand-up comedian who at one time planned on running in the next presidential election. And no, he didn't get the idea from that corny movie starring Robin Williams.

Submitted by Jessamyn Cuneo on December 31, 2006
Daniel Tosh's comedy is so biting, you can spot the softies in each audience—they'll be the ones wincing and twisting.

He pauses. "The HIV test."

Submitted by Jessamyn Cuneo on June 30, 2006

Comedian Eddie Ifft: A Mixed Bag of Nuts
Submitted by Jessamyn Cuneo on April 30, 2006
The only thing Eddie Ifft can seem to take seriously is comedy. Stand-up has magically redeemed his life. In the ten years he's been in the profession, he's exploited everything about his personality that's previously caused him to a) get suspended or expelled from every school he attended, and b) fired from every job he had.
"People love train-wrecks," Ifft says. "My whole life was a train-wreck, so why not exploit it?"

Warren B. Hall Fighting Wars with Comedy
Submitted by Jessamyn Cuneo on January 31, 2006
Comedian Warren B. Hall has the type of spontaneous energy that, if bottled, would outsell Red Bull by landslides. He doesn't just give you wings - he makes the rest of the world disappear with the power of his performance.
Over the past four years, Hall has been overseas to Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan, and Korea to perform for American troops - in places so dangerous, other comedians refuse to venture near.
Aaron Hurley Fell Into Comedy
Submitted by Regina Mahone on December 31, 2005
Aaron Hurley began his stand-up career after a friend signed him up for a comedy competition while he was studying at the University of Illinois.
"My friend Jorge told me I now had a new profession two days before [the competition]," jokes Hurley. "Then he wished me the best of luck."
Maybe it was luck that got Hurley onto the program, but it was his talent that won him first place and the opportunity to open up for Jim Gaffigan (Super Troopers, Igby Goes Down) a few weeks later.
