Headliner:
Kyle Kinane
Kyle Kinane has been up and at it for almost half his life, mostly searching for what "it" might be. He has performed in the Leicester, Vancouver, Washington D.C., Portland, Just For Laughs/Chicago and the USCAF/Aspen comedy festivals, and has been on the TV via "Last Call with Carson Daly," "The Very Funny Show" on TBS, "Live at Gotham," "Comedy Central Presents" and "The World Stands Up" on the BBC. He was called "bleak and misanthropic" by the London Evening Standard, which he still feels may be a compliment. He is a comedian.
Feature:
Dave Stone
Based out of Atlanta, Dave has been wandering around doing comedies since he started. Most people have never heard of him. A few people have described his comedy as "down-right rad". He has worked with some great comedians such as Patton Oswalt, Robert Klien, Brian Posehn, Andy Kindler, Doug Benson and some crappy ones such as Andy Sandford, Joe Zimmerman and TJ Young. He is also a founding member of the Beards of Comedy Tour, who recently released a compact disc (with a cardboard case) called "Comedy for People" on Rooftop Comedy Productions. A versatile performer, Dave prides himself on his ability to reach a wide range of audiences, transcending age, race class, height and weight.
