Sweet as a honey glazed ham and as hot as a Tabasco chili pepper... it's The "Ragin Cajun" John Morgan!!

When trying to come up with the best way of describing comedian John Morgan, the phrase "Ragin' Cajun" comes to mind. Most likely that's because this is how he's often addressed, but a nickname like that isn't just given out, it has to be earned. Imagine mixing a tent revival with zydeco music and C4. It’s not hard to envision John Morgan starting his own mega-church.

A native of Louisiana, Morgan is a southern boy who's got a lot to say about his home region. He does so with an easy rapport, straight shooting southern charm, and an outrageous amount of comic energy. The "Ragin' Cajun's" physical antics on stage are like a 5 year old after a 6-pack of Red Bull! He'll have you howling "HOOOWEEE, he's good!" When asked how he would describe himself John replied, “Positively motivated. It doesn’t mean I’m in agreement with everybody. But what I believe, I’m positively motivated”. You've seen him on HBO, Showtime, and MTV... now see this red-hot chili pepper live!

Here’s why John Morgan is a house favorite..he’s one of those rare comics that can play any stage any time with any audience. “We are privileged”, Mr. Morgan went on to say, “when we are able to keep our own thought process and refocus it in a style the audience will accept”.

And the Ragin Cajun enjoys bringing the heat when he steps on stage. You can see the glee in his eyes. No political correctness for this comic. If he were a Cajun spice, he’d be the kind that would make you ‘slap ya mama’.

YOU ARE GETTING VERY SLEEEEEPY!! Don't miss Gary Conrad, Comedian & Hypnotist Extraordinaire!!

Gary Conrad has quickly become one of the hottest and most skillful hypnotists working in this country. He has amazed audiences from Alaska to Florida with his hypnotism shows. He has become a regular at all of the "A" room comedy clubs and colleges across the country.

Gary was born and raised in Linden, New Jersey. After receiving his degree from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, he worked as a stockbroker in New York City. He followed that with a very successful eleven-year stretch in the shipping business, working in both New York and Los Angeles.

Gary Conrad began his journey into hypnosis in 1980 in order to better condition himself during training for bodybuilding competition. He learned that through control of his mind, he could maximize his workout abilities. This ignited his passion for hypnotism that continues to this day. After several years of study, which included a stint in England, Gary began hypnotizing people in a clinical setting and eventually moved to the stage.

Gary Conrad has hypnotized thousands from Army Special Forces to bikers to New York policemen to schoolteachers. His shows are among the most popular that many comedy clubs host. Gary Conrad is unique in that he is one of the very few performers in the country to have the same people come back two and three times in one week to attend his show. Also, while traversing the country, he has become popular on radio and television programs in many different markets.

Since hitting the road, Gary Conrad has never looked back. If the adage of "practice makes perfect" holds true, he must be as close to perfect as any hypnotist in the country. Not content to simply work a few weeks on the road and then go home for a week, he works non-stop...year round, performing more than 400 shows per year.

For the love of Pete (Correale)! See him this week at the Stardome!!

Recently named by Entertainment Weekly as one of the top 10 comics to watch, rapidly rising comedy sensation Pete Correale brings his keen eye for the humor found in daily life to Comedy Central with his first-ever special, “The Things We Do For Love.” The show debuts on Saturday, May 30 at 11 PM (Eastern and Pacific times).

Praised for his “brash and energetic” humor by the Anchorage Daily News, Correale is a veteran of the comedy club and festival circuit as well as television talk shows like “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Late Night with David Letterman” and “Last Call with Carson Daily,” and co-hosted the Sirius satellite radio show “Breuer Unleashed” with former “Saturday Night Live” star Jim Breuer for four years. The Long Island native began his comedy career after graduating from college in 1992 and moving to New York City, where he cooked hamburgers and mopped floors at the New York Comedy Club in exchange for stage time late in the night to hone his act. He quickly rose to headliner status and began making his living as a comedian.

“The Things We Do For Love” features Correale in front of a New York City streetscape set making his pungent observations on the absurdities, contradictions and weirdness of everyday life from the perspective of a regular guy (albeit one with a wickedly funny wit). The special spotlights his gift for finding laughs in love, marriage, drinking, smoking cigarettes in an increasingly non-smoking world, being married versus single, and living in New York City, among many other topics. Essential to the collective implication of “The Things We Do For Love,” his wife is an unseen presence yet integral partner throughout in many of Correale's wickedly funny tales. Whether the subject is life and health insurance, taking his nieces and nephews to the Bronx Zoo, being a dog owner, carnival rides, or his sister running in the New York Marathon, Correale zeroes in on the inherent humor in everything he encounters and experiences to evoke fervent and knowing laughter from the live audience at the special's taping. A viral Internet campaign and My Space and Facebook promotions over the next two months will tease comedy fans with snippets of Correale's wit to plug the special.

His first big breaks were appearing at Canada's prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in 2000 in its New Faces showcase and making his national TV debut on NBC's “Late Friday.” Other television appearances include NBC's “Friday Night” and Comedy Central's “Premium Blend” and “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn,” co-starring in the pilot for a Jim Breuer series for Fox, and being a featured comic in 2004 on MTV's live pre-game “Superbowl Bash.” He has showcased his stand up at the 2008 Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, New York Comedy Festival, the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and the 2005 Bonnaroo music festival. Correale has also taken his act international at Ireland's Kilkenny Cat Laughs Comedy Festival and was invited to perform in London, England on the BBC/Comedy Central show "The World Stands Up” that featured the best comedy acts from around the globe. He has been appearing in 2008 into 2009 on the third annual Jameson Comedy Tour. In April, Correale headlines the historic first-ever Beirut Stand Up Comedy Festival in Lebanon.

Correale has participated in such charity events as Comics Come Home fundraiser at Boston University, and was invited to entertain the first U.S. troops coming home from Iraq at a show aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid aircraft carrier in New York City. He has also worked as a comedy writer for shows on MTV and Comedy Central, and acted in starring roles in the films The Gynecologists, American Dummy and Act of Contrition. With his tabloid front-page styled website (www.petecorreale.com), the comic keeps his hilarity buzzing on the Internet. He is an avid sports fan and devoted follower of the New York Yankees who earned an All American honorable mention playing high school basketball and played for SUNY Fredonia in his college years. He lives with his wife in Manhattan, where he keeps his act sharp appearing at the city's comedy clubs when not on tour.

Correale's humor connects so strongly because it's reality-based comedy that comes from the laughs he finds in his own life. “If it happened to me, it happened to someone else,” he observes. “I like to tell stories that happen to me and find the joke in it. Whether it's putting together furniture for my wife, or walking my dog at 2 AM or hanging out with buddies having a few beers, it's all things we do for love.” And with Correale, the things that also provide hilarity in spades.
