Tim is a Birmingham, Alabama native who will keep you in
stitches with his southern style humor and storytelling. For the past 13 years,
he has been entertaining audiences wherever he goes. You’ve heard him on
various radio shows nationwide, including The Bob & Tom Show.
Statum, who grew up in the small community of Lynn’s
Crossing, now lives in Graysville, but he’s performed all over the country.
Statum has opened for Three Dog Night, Hank Williams Jr. and George Jones. He’s
also performed in Las Vegas and on cruise ships. His current travel schedule
usually keeps him in venues across the Southeast.
He has also performed at comedy clubs all across
the country. From New York to Las Vegas, all the way to the Bahamas. Southern
audiences connect with Statum because he incorporates real-life stories of
growing up in the country into his act. Tim had this to say about heading to the
StarDome to perform: “I absolutely love
what I do,” he said. “I love performing in Birmingham, because this is home. I
usually perform here once or twice per year, and it’s always a big crowd. The
home folks are so good to me.”
The Amazing Johnathan is an eccentric comic magician whose
bizarre humor and unscripted antics have earned him widespread recognition as
one of the most original and unique performers today.
Starting his professional career as a street performer in
San Francisco, Johnathan turned his boyhood hobby of magic into a full-time
job. After polishing his act on Fisherman's Wharf in the late '70's, he moved
onto nightclubs and colleges in the '80's.
The Amazing Johnathan has performed for audiences all over
the world, including countless dignitaries and high-profile officials like
President Ronald Reagan and the president of France. His fan base stretches
across the globe from the U.S. to the U.K., Europe, South America and
Australia, where he is a household name.
During the last 25-plus years of his career, Amazing
Johnathan has appeared on numerous television shows including Comedy Central's
Lounge Lizards and Premium Blend shows, F/X's The X Show, Fox's Comic Strip
Live, The Arsenio Hall Show, HBO's Young Comedians Special, Late Night with
David Letterman, Entertainment Tonight and The Wayne Brady Show, as well as
television specials such as NBC's World's Greatest Magic II and The World's
Wildest Magicians, ABC's Caesars Palace 30th Anniversary Special, Fox's
Champions of Magic, Comedy Central Presents, American Airlines' CBS Eye on
America, the Travel Channel's Amazing Vacation Homes, and The Greatest Magic
Tricks In the Universe...Ever on England's Ch. 5 UK.
In 2002, The Amazing Johnathan Show landed in Las Vegas at
the Golden Nugget for a two-week engagement. Johnathan shocked everyone by
selling out the entire run and the Nugget quickly offered him multi-million
dollar, two year deal. Being downtown and not on the strip, nobody could believe
that anyone could make the place jump again. During the next two years he
changed the casino‘s clientele to a younger, more hip crowd and brought in more
people to the showroom then Sinatra. The Review Journal nicknamed Johnathan, “The
Unlikely Savior of Downtown.“
Johnathan moved to the strip after receiving a more
lucrative offer from the Flamingo. After one year, when his contract was due
for renewal, the Nugget struck back and the MGM Grand/Mirage offered Johnathan
one of the biggest deals ever made if he returned to the Nugget. With or
without the money, he would have. It was like his second home.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal has given Amazing Johnathan
much praise, by including him on the coveted "Best of Las Vegas"
list, awarding him "Best Comedian of the Year" for 2002 and
nominating him in 2003. The Las Vegas
Weekly Reader’s Choice Awards recognized him as “Best Local Villain” in 2004
and 2005. He is also a three-time winner of the International Magic Award for
"Best Comedy Magician."
Johnathan has now been headlining in Las Vegas for a
record-breaking 11 years. After the Nugget was sold, AJ moved back to the strip
and played for years at the famous “Congo Room” at the Sahara, which over the
years was the home of Johnny Carson, Jack Benny, and The Beatles.
In 2008 Johnathan took his show to The Harmon Theater, next
to planet Hollywood. With him always is his whacked out assistant Psychic
Tanya, She’s the energetic and uproarious blonde who supports his act with
silly banter and spontaneous hilarity. This comic partnership adds a hysterical
spark to Amazing Johnathan's already off-the-wall production.
Working permanently in Las Vegas doesn’t allow Johnathan
time to tour or pursue TV specials, things that are vital to the longevity of
an act. Thankfully Johnathan has a huge cult following of hard core fans and
they always seem to be there for him. A few years ago when Comedy Central had
people vote for the Top 10 Comedian, Johnathan made the list. It wasn’t long
after that CC figured out who to give their coveted one-hour special to. Johnathan got busy and presented his fans with almost an
hour of new material. The special was aptly titled, “Wrong on Every Level..”The old fans love it and it also gathered a
whole new generation of fans.
Another show is currently getting seen on is A&E’s “Mindfreak,”
with Criss Angel. The two are best friends and have been working together on a
new project called; “Psych” that will be out this summer.
Johnathan’s biggest and latest project is a documentary about
his experiences on the road and his odd rise to fame in Las Vegas. This will
take him back on the road for the first time in 11 years to play some of his
favorite comedy clubs. His Vegas show will be dark for one weekend each month.
So, if you have plans to see Johnathan in Vegas, make sure you check the tour
schedule on this website. Who knows, he may be coming to you this time....and he is...

Funnyman John Witherspoon has parlayed a successful career as a standup comic into a series of memorable film roles. Born in Detroit, MI, John Witherspoon began his show business career as a model in the early '70s before striking out on his ownas a stand-up comedian.
John made his first television appearance on the 1970s series Barnaby Jones, starring Buddy Ebsen. On the big screen, Witherspoon has starred alongside some of the biggest and brightest comedians in the business, including Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler and Tim Meadows, in films such as Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001), Little Nicky (2000) and The Ladies Man (2000), as well as a role in Warren Beatty’s Bulworth (1998). No stranger to the world of television, Witherspoon has logged serious time in front of small screen cameras, appearing in an impressive list of TV projects spanning more than two decades, including a five-year stint starring as Pops on the WB sitcom The Wayans Brothers, and guest appearances on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Martin Lawrence Show, Living Single, The Incredible Hulk, The Richard Pryor Show, Hill Street Blues, Good Times, and WKRP in Cincinnati, to name a few. He has also made countless appearances on shows such as The David Letterman Show, Live in LA and HBO's Def Comedy Jam. Witherspoon appeared as Ice Cube’s outrageously funny, dog-catching dad in Friday (1995) and Next Friday (2000) and returns in the latest instalment, called Friday After Next (2002).
Witherspoon has also recently finished his stand up comedy tour. He has also taken his success in acting and continued it with screen writing a movie called From the Old School where he takes the role as an elderly working man who tries to prevent a neighborhood convenience store from being developed into a strip club. Witherspoon has just come out with The John Witherspoon Collection, which is a line of comical greeting cards known as Spoon Cards. He is the official spokesman for a Washington, D.C. used car dealership.
Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) has become a household name and it all started when he snatched a video camera from his father's closet when he was fifteen years old. From there he started producing homemade skateboarding videos featuring dangerous stunts mixed with comical behavior.
He was born in London and by the age of twelve, had lived in five countries and communicated fluently in three different languages. He holds citizenship in three countries - the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
After finishing high school in London, and completing a year at the University of Miami, Steve-O realized that college wasn't for him. He enrolled in Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College to help further his goal of becoming a professional stuntman. After graduating Clown College, and determined to make it in Hollywood, he began to pitch his home videos to producers.
Eventually, Steve-O's videos made it into the hands of Jeff Tremaine (Jackass Creator/Director/Producer) who was working with Johnny Knoxville to create a stunt based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000. In 2001, Steve-O launched his own "Steve-O Don't Try This At Home Tour", establishing himself as an accomplished stage performer, at venues throughout the U.S. and in a dozen countries.
When the JACKASS TV series ended in 2002, the team moved on to JACKASS: THE MOVIE, released by Paramount in October of that year. Shortly thereafter, Steve-O and fellow JACKASS alum, Chris Pontius, were given a spin-off show entitled WILDBOYZ, which aired on MTV and MTV2 and lasted four seasons. In 2006, Paramount released JACKASS: NUMBER 2 in theatres and Steve-O continued to thrill audiences with his outrageous stunts.
In 2009 he competed on ABC's hit show, DANCING WITH THE STARS, and lasted six weeks, despite an injury and having virtually no dancing ability whatsoever.
Last year, Steve-O returned for the Paramount franchise in JACKASS 3D which turned out to be a huge hit at the box office for the third installment with JACKASS 3.5 soon out on DVD.
In the months leading up to the release of JACKASS 3D he immersed himself in standup comedy, which had been a part-time hobby during the previous four years. Successful performances at prestigious comedy venues such as LA's Laugh Factory and New York City's Comedy Cellar led to his current tour performing standup, stunts and bar-tricks across North America and abroad, which he dubbed "Steve-O's Entirely Too Much Information Tour." He has dates booked through the year.
Next up, Steve-O will release his autobiography, Professional Idiot: A Memoir, with publisher Hyperion Books releasing on June 7th of this year.
Most importantly, however, Steve-O has been clean and sober since March of 2008 and lives a healthy, vegan lifestyle in the Los Angeles area...but he still has no problem stapling his balls to his leg.
