Eric Lokke
Host Club:
The Ice House Annex - Los Angeles
"We caught Eric Lokke at the Ice House Annex in Los Angeles where he
showcased for a packed house. It's been a while since we caught
this comedian. Eric's been working. What we saw was jaw dropping,
fall-out-of-your-chair funny from start to finish. NO SLOW
POINTS. NO stretching for time. The audience was laughing
consistently and hard. This is the comedian that has everyone
talking after a show. Eric delivered some of most original and
the funniest material we've seen anywhere in three years. He
delivers fresh new comedy material that works 100% of the time.
I don't care where your club is, get this comedian booked and
watch him sell seats as a feature. Eric Lokke may be LA's next
hot stand-up comedy star. There's no stoping this comedy freight
train." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com

Host Club: Improv - Addison, TX
"This is a don't miss, hard to find comic. If you can catch him, it's going to be pure
chance at this point. Now living and working in LA, this comedian is HOT HOT HOT! He
delivers an edgy, flat-out funny set, that you will take to the water cooler for a week.
He's got that kind of comedy that has you rolling the floor. Yes, he really said it...
now close your mouth, you just look stupid with your mouth hanging open. I guarantee
you won't forget this stand-up, we hear he's building a loyal following in small black
and latino clubs. Other comics even like this one. You can tell he's pushing the limits
of taste with a sharp probe. His fast witt is scary. We caught him adlibbing... he
unravelled a heckler that had the nerve to try some distracting table conversation
while wearing a "Members Only" shirt. Don't do it. He never missed a beat. Turn off
the spotlight this guy can light the stage with verbal lightening when he gets wound up.
This young comedian is going to be very BIG. Give him more stage." - Comedy Review by

Jeff Justus
Host Club: Improv - Addison, TX
"Watch out for this one. Jeff delivers a mix of hillarious comedy and some
dead-on impressions. But it's all funny. Jeff has that polish you have to love.
If you get a chance to see Jeff I think you're going to want more. Jeff
just needs more exposure. He's definitely ready for primetime."

Kier Spates
Host Club:
Crystal's Entertainment Complex - Dallas
Dallas - "Kier Spates was back in town at Crystal's in Arlington fast becoming one of
Dallas' comedy hot spots, for another lesson in comedy from LosCodie and DaMone's, Old
School Player New School Fool team. Kier is all pro. DO NOT MISS THIS COMEDIAN. Get
tickets NOW! Kier can blast the stage with some of the best comedy material in the
business. Kier is a loaded comedy freight with momentum. He plays the audience like a
puppeteer. But you haven't heard comedy until he throws his head back and starts trying
to talk his way out of a Taliban beheading. Holy cow... it's funny. Even more importantly,
Kier delivers high impact comedy consistently. He doesn't seem to be effected by the size
or temperament of the audience, where ever he takes the stage, he owns it. Kier is
fast becoming a comedy legend."
- Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com
Host Club:
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill
"We caught Kier Spates on a recent trip through Dallas when he was
headlining Thursday Night Comedy at the Caribbean Grill. Kier brought
a truckload of top quality original comedy material. This is a
comedian you have to respect. When you can lock in stage presence,
delivery, great material and timing, you get a night full of laughs. Whether Kier is
exploring the empty parking lot of a mexican reunion or explaining
the meaning of "Be Real", Kier had the audience 100%. But watchout when he gets wound up.
Keir is capable of some of the funniest comedy on the
American stage when he starts blasting his lightening fast rants. It will leave
you breathless. Just wind him up and watch him fly... Kier has the material, the talent,
timing and the delivery to headline anywhere an audience wants to laugh."

Los Codie
Host Club:
Crystals Entertainment Complex - Arlington
Arlington - "Los Codie is building a reputation for hot, hot comedy in the DFW
Mid-Cities area. If it's a Los Codie show, you are going to have fun. Recent
names have included Juan Villareal, White Chocolate, Red Bone and Justin Mitchell.
His shows are talent packed, fast moving professional comedy events with huge
name talent. In a market with plenty of comedy choices, the best 'underground'
comedy ticket in Dallas may be a Los Codie Show. We are seeing momentum build for
this talented comedy entertainer and promoter in a way that's hard to describe as
anything but explosive. This is truely special and if you want to witness the
comedy explosion in DFW, anything "Los Codie", is a front row seat. His up-coming
DVD release promises to be red hot." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com
WEB SITE LINK
Host Club:
Players Club - Dallas
"Carlos Codie, "Los Codie". That's a name Dallas comedy fans have been talking about for
years. We finally caught him hosting one of his trademark shows at the Player's Club in
Dallas. Stand-up comedian is only part of the story with this multi-talented comedy
performer. Marked by extreme high energy, polish and professionalism, a combination that
may seem to be a comedy contradiction. It's not with Los Codie. Even in the limited role
of show host, we got to see what DFW comedy fans were talking about. He clearly understands
the soul of comedy and the heart of his audiences. Los Codie is an entertainment original.
He started out with lightning fast comic quips and then instigated what turned out to be
an inspired on-stage rap showdown with a talented audience member. All that would have
been enough but Los Codie took the audience into new territory as he explored a truely
original concept in skit comedy that the audience absolutely loved. You're going to have
to buy a ticket to see this. It's so original, so fresh, it's pure genius. Los Codie is
clearly another national scale local entertainment talent that I am convinced could have
monopolized the stage captivating the audience, and yet this showman honor's his audiences
and the tradition of stand-up comedy by bringing some of the hotest old school and new
school comic talent to his Dallas and Fort Worth stages. Get tickets early this entertainer
is out growing his stages. Unstoppable." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com

Mozan
Host Club:
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill
"Mozan has either been there or known somebody that just got back.
This is a comedian that dishes up the kind of attitude any backsliding,
deadbeat can relate to. It was a real pleasure to watch as she mined pure
gold line after hilarious line. Her "$34 hamburger" and "checking account
theories" are perfect originals. You just don't get this kind of comedy
every day. The story about the snappy dresser with "gators" is worth the
price of the ticket all by itself. Her off the cuff word tumbling drops
out gems like "Sea Donkey". It's was a perfectly unexpected description that
makes you do a mental double-take. If you truly love stand-up comedy you
owe it to yourself to see Mozan the next time she's in town..."
- Comedy Review by The Comedy Critic

Host Club:
Players Club - Dallas
This time Mozan took the stage at the Player's Club in Dallas as she tried out some
new material. The crowd was tough but she powered through to deliver a professional performance.
The crowd clearly loved her, a favorite in Dallas comedy. Over the years, it's been a
pleasure watching her material progress. Her bill collector and check writing routines are
comedy classics. Keep writing, it just keeps getting funnier." - Comedy Review by

Q
Host Club:
West End Comedy Theatre - Dallas, TX
"It was "Q" at the West End Comedy Theatre for the Dallas' Funniest person contest. Long time since the first time
we saw "Q". A lot more comedy this time as he brought some funny routines abou this move from Chicago to
Mesquite. Seems he's been having a problem dating in the Texas heat with his hand crank auto air conditioner.
"Q" has a special relationship with "Cheaters" he'll have to explain. Some of his funniest material
centered on his "You Drive A Bucket if" jokes. Hope to see more. Keep'em coming "Q"!
" - Comedy Review by The Comedy Critic
Q
Host Club:
Part Folio - Dallas
"'Q' was hosting the underground comedy venue at Part Folio in Dallas. Great job!
'Q' delivered two of his original poetry composition's spiced with some comic commentary.
Keep it coming...'Q'.

Scott Allen
Host Club:
West End Comedy Theatre - Dallas, TX
"Scott took the stage in the Dallas' Funniest Person Contest at the West End Comedy Theatre with a fast comedy delivery style. He covered a lot of comedy ground in his set including Subway, Back to the Future, Sharpies and a bee attack. Great comedy hope to see more warped thinking of Scott Allen.

Johnny Elbow
Host Club:
West End Comedy Theatre - Dallas, TX
"It was hot comic Johnny Elbow in for the Dallas Funniest Person Contest at the West End Comedy Theatre. Johnny has been writing too. It was so good that he was one of the four that past through to the next level with parking lot security on stilts, his 61 year old Dad, vocabulary rumbles in the hood, and softball. Someone needs to check Johnny's house for "girlfriends", his has been tied up for a while now. Poor girl.

Kirk Moreno
Host Club:
West End Comedy Theatre - Dallas, TX
"Here's a comer, Kirk Moreno took the stage at the West End Comedy Theatre with a strong performance. I look for really good things from Kirk. He's sharp and has a smooth Latin delivery. Great stage presence. His Latino Day Laborer was fun as was his use of an inner tube remark that had the crowd laughing. But he needs to be careful of bumper stickers.

Bobo Lamb
Host Club:
Player's Club - Dallas, TX
"It was Bobo Lamb at the Player's Club in Dallas giving the performance of a lifetime, an uphill battle considering he had to follow one of the all-time great comedy performances by Kier Spates. But that didn't slow Bobo Lamb down. He took off like he was shot from a double barrelled shot gun giving the audience everything he had. He proved as good as his CD title "The Great Bobo Lamb: Live". Bobo grew up poor, broke but he loves his Mama. No fan of casino's everything came round to the point that he "Shouldn't have even been gambling in the first place". We got the Bobo hygiene instructions and found out that he's got a roach killer's instinct as a result of being roused by scampering feet. We even heard about a pizza delivery scam. Bobo is extremely funny, great material, perfect timing and high energy. Thanks for a great show Bobo.

Paul Varghese
Host Club:
Addison Point - Addison
"Paul Varghese is one of Dallas' hot comedians. Whether you know him
from "Indians at the Improv", Comedy Central or "Last Comic Standing",
Paul delivers every time he takes the stage. Paul Varghese
is a stand-up artist. Timing, variety, impressions, quality... it's all
a part of the comic mix. Whether it's Waffle House lingo, the ability of
a Baptist church to draw a crowd in the south, college humor or geek
speak, the audience always get's it. Paul is comedy insurance
guaranteed to deliver a solid set with plenty of laughs. While at
the Point in Addison, Paul was trying some strong new material that
should contribute even more laughs and range. If you haven't seen
Paul Varghese in person, do it now before he leaves the Dallas area
for a bigger market." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com

Raj Sharma
Host Club:
Backdoor Comedy Club - Dallas
"We caught Raj Sharma at the Backdoor Comedy Club in Dallas, hosting the show after
doing a short set that was solid comedy. This is a polished professional that will
surprise you with hilarious routines that strike comedy gold. His conversion was
clearly an inspiration, but we aren't talking religion. His grandmother's assessment
of his girlfriends was priceless. Watch for Raj in a club near you, if you're lucky."

Jason James
Host Club:
Addison Point - Addison
"This time he was delivering "Jason James style" comedy at
the Point in Addison. From a duck tape start, he quickly wound
up into the his signature head-thumping, mic-frenzy as he appeared
to be exploring new territories of frustration over gated,
retirement, golfing, communities among other trials of patience.
How do you describe Jason's style? You don't. You pay for a
ticket to see him. Another masterful performance by Jason James.
Jason James has all the right stuff to become a comedy legend.
" - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com
WEB SITE LINK
Host Club:
Backdoor Comedy Club - Dallas
"The Backdoor Comedy Club delivered a solid night of laughs thanks in no small part
to Jason James who showed us the kind of talent that won't get much feature work.
Great comedians would have a hard time following this act. His cock-eyed glasses
were the first clue. This on-the-edge comedian blasted the stage with a series of
hilarious over-the-top airport security routines that literally dented a mic.
Jason James delivered nothing short of a star quality performance. A stand-out
among the 15 talented performers that took the stage. Someone needs to pay this
comedian to stay in the spotlight." - Comedy Review by The Comedy Critic

Dean Lewis
Host Club:
Improv - Addison
"I saw Dean Lewis at the Improv for a private show this time. Normally, a regular at the prestigious Dallas venue it was a "Call Dean for a Good Time" night. Ever the consummate host and talented comic we caught what seemed to be classic Dean Lewis comedy. Carefully timed and planned, Dean delivered a solid comedy set with many of his best jokes. It's the goofy looks, the quirky stage "over-comfort" that reminds you of Steve Martin's early years. You might call it "twinkle in the nerd comedy" that makes Dean Lewis comedy more than his jokes. If you don't get the delivery, you don't get the comedian. I think Dean is on to something and his fans love it. Check Dean out the next time he's at the Improv. I think you'll see what I mean.

Piper
Host Club:
Comedy Thursdays - Caribbean Grill - Dallas
"Piper gets around. Normally a headliner in his own right. We found him at the Caribbean Grill contributing to a great evening of comedy. Once again Piper delivered. It all started by teaching us the value of quarters, a street-smart concept cold hearted bankers might even warm up to once explained by Piper. He mixed in some new material and then he moved in with his Burney Mack impressions, some of the best comedy in the business disguised in "Mack talk". His signature three wish Genie was all Piper. Piper is "big joke" style, headliner comedy. When you hear Piper's scheduled, schedule two tickets for a great night.

Da'Mone Jones
Host Club:
Part Folio - Dallas
Dallas - "
This may be the fastest development of a comedy career, based on a lifetime of being funny.
Da'Mone Jones is earning his spot in Dallas comedy with funny material that just keeps building.
The Los Codie partner in Old School Player New School Fool, we caught Da'Mone two nights in
a row. The first night was the popular Crystal's and then we caught him doing a relatively
new underground comedy room at Part Folio's on Preston Road. Some of his set was new at
Crystal's and he had it refined and defined for major laughs the next night at Part Folio
where he was headlining. Da'Mone is moving up fast." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com
WEB SITE LINK
Host Club:
Crystals Entertainment Complex - Arlington
Arlington - "It was Arlington's Crystal's Entertainment Complex and another brilliant
LosCodie show. First up was Da'Mone a comedian we keep seeing as host. Not this night.
We caught Da'Mone featuring with a bucket-load of new funny. Da'Mone has MATERIAL.
Looks like he's been holding out as he delivered a solid 20 minutes of laughs at
a level equal to his impeccable stage presence and GQ look. He locked the audience
in with top level comedy that captured everyone's attention. This is a tough
room where you have to earn your audience and Da'Mone did it. It is a rare thing
to see a comedian 'earn' a room and own an audience." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com
Host Club:
Players Club - Dallas
We caught Da'Mone hosting the Saturday show at the Players Club.
with Juan Villareal. He dressed like a pro, delivered a few hot dance
steps and then he proved his chops when he popped some real comedy
between the acts. Da'Mone kept the audience going with a strong piece
about hurricane names and welfare. Then he followed with his
observations about single bananas that had the audience floor
stompin. Da'Mone is a young comedian with what looks to be a funny
future." - Comedy Review by The Comedy Critic

Linda Stogner
Host Club:
Backdoor Comedy Club - Dallas
"Backdoor Comedy Club is the elegant comedy home to the "out-of-this-world" comedy
of Linda Stogner. Linda is an original and thank goodness Dallas has her. You have
to be pure Texan to understand the subtly of a Huntsville reunion. This comedian is
electrifyingly funny. If you don't believe me, just ask the neighborhood squirrels.
Linda has a rare comic-theatrical delivery that adds a third dimension to every
laugh. I'm convinced, Linda could deliver lead balloons that would have audiences in
stitches. Linda is one of Dallas' comedy legends. Comedy needs more originals like
Linda Stogner. OK that was probably an oxymoron of some sort, but Linda Stogner
isn't." - Comedy Review by The Comedy Critic

Anastasia
Host Club:
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill
"Holly cow!!!! Anastasia is a blowout, blockbuster, one woman, stage blasting
show! Don't confuse this comedian with any one else... well you
can't. No one commands a stage like this powerhouse. My gosh Dallas has an original...
what a show! If you missed this, you missed an EVENT! Pure talent... Move over
Woopie, this comedian would have made Redd Foxx blush and then he'd probably have
stolen a few lines. She's got a few they'll never put on any TV but she could make
somebody rich on Pay-Per-View cable. What a headliner!!!! Once you lock in the
dialect that's pure verbal hip-hop art, you find a multi-layered humor
that is nothing but original. If you have a club, book her. But be warned, she's
gonna pass a bucket once or twice. You're jaw will drop when the audience
stuffs it with cash, why? Cause she's that funny!" - Comedy Review by

Gerald Young

Rose Petal Ballroom - Dallas
Grand Prairie - "We caught Gerald Young featuring at the new Rose Petal Ballroom
in Grand Prairie. Gerald delivered a hot performance. We usually catch Gerald in his own
room at the Caribbean Grill where he self-limit's his stage time to hosting. So it was a
rare treat to get more of this comedian's set as a feature. It just goes to show you the
level of talent in Dallas. Gerald worked the audience like only Gerald can. His
signature broad rimed hat and martini glass comedy is unmistakable."

Host Club:
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill - Dallas, TX
Right now you may have to come to Dallas to see this comedian but it's worth the trip. Wait
and you might have to travel to Hollywood. Better plan on laughing every minute this
comedian is on stage. Gerald Young has a smooth way of turning audience conversation into
the funniest comedy. He's got that easy banter that delivers lines to make your sides hurt.
His "Office Party" routine was anything but routine. You're going to love his definitions of
"country" and "comedy". Mr. Young has a stage style that sets him apart as comedy classic.
If you get a chance to catch Gerald Young do it and bring two friends. Currently he's the
"Impresario of Comedy", every other Thursday at the Caribbean Grill in Dallas. You really
don't know comedy until you've spent some time immersed in the comedy tradition that is
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill. Thanks to Gerald Young, it's back. Comedy
Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill is a Dallas grass roots, comedy tradition, you don't want
to miss. " - Comedy Review by The Comedy Critic

Ced-Man
Host Club:
Part Folio - Dallas
Dallas - "We caught this comedy powerhouse at The Underground Comics show at Part Folio
in North Dallas where he brought together some of Dallas' finest for a night of laughs.
Ced-Man opened the show to a stone-cold audience. He took a sledge to their funnybone's
and had them warmed and ready for the rest of his show as he explained his Grandfather's
taste for turkey. A late start left him little time to deliver his best material but he
did a great job with time he had. We always enjoy seeing Ced-Man, one of Dallas' most
loved comedians." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com

Host Club:
Addison Point - Addison
Dallas - "We caught Ced Man again, this time featuring for Kier Spates at the Caribbean
Grill in Dallas. Ced Man may be one of the most hard working comedians in Texas. We got
to see more of Ced Man's funny material. Every time we see him, he's got morel. This time
he covered eyebrow plucking, chicken eating, multiple personality, cloning and grandmother's
cookies. Just try to tell us that's not some territory. Everyone was laughing. Listen
closely I think he's layering jokes." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com
Host Club:
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill - Dallas
Ced-Man, just back from LA, was a real pro last night. He delivered
top comedy, energy and laughs to a small crowd that really needed a
show. I don't know where he got it, but his "Da Dup Da Dup" and
"Louisiana Bullshit" may be the start of something big for this comic.
FUNNY FUNNY STUFF! Ced-Man was the star of the show! That's what I call
bringing your game." - Comedy Review by The Comedy Critic
Host Club:
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill - Dallas, TX
"This is a strong, comedian with a great comedy future. Watch for him to become a major
name. Ced Man landed some solid blows when we caught him trying out some new material
Comedy Thursdays at the Caribbean Grill. He's definitely got the right stuff.
We'll be watching for him in the future. More coming...." - Comedy Review by

Shawn Halpin
Host Club:
Addison Improv - Dallas
"We caught Shawn Halpin hosting the Improv in Addison for headliner Doug Stanhope. This time
we saw a lot more of Shawn's comedy set. It was easier to see why this ex-Marine is so popular.
His questionable childhood experience with baseball, Big Brothers and Michael Jackson got the
show off to a fast start followed by his froggy voiced casino gamblers. But his new ghotee
defense is a killer. Keep'em coming!" - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com
WEB SITE LINK
Host Club:
Addison Point - Addison
"Recently seen at the Point in Addison, Shawn Halpin had a slam
dunk, comedy performance in spite of a sloppy, not-to-sneaky,
ambush by front table drunks. This comedian stuck to his guns
and delivered 100%. Chalk one up for a real comedy professional.
Shawn's Bagdad Statue Replacement Initiative kicked off the show
followed by the rapid release of comedy that set the audience
up for more power-lines like the one referencing the release of
Latino students from schools. Then Shawn connected with some of
the best material of the night as he described the tendencies of
specially challenged grocery store bag boys. Shawn is a natural
comedian that audiences love. Keep an eye out for more of Shawn
Halpin, we will." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com

TShaun

almost passes for laid back until you consider he
delivers continuous laughs. No breaks, no stalling,
it's all comedy in a beefy set that makes you wish
more comedians would deliver comedy with the same
level of consistency. Whether he's covering "lucky
drawers", celebrity court cases or Chicago weather
he knows what's funny and doesn't waste your time on
filler. We want to see more of TShaun." - Comedy Review by ComedyCritic.com

Sardia Marley

"Sardia Marley you might be temped to call her the "Jamaican
Comedy Queen". Something about her confidence and facial
expressions are just plain charming. This comedian is 100%
unique, unexpected and very funny. We saw Sardia Marley
showing off her best side at the Ice House in Los Angeles.
This is a great time to start following another comedy discovery.
If Sardia is scheduled to appear, be there for some great comedy
with a Caribbean twist.
