A hacker, ex-soldier, magician, and born prankster, he weaves a tapestry of laughs from an array of seemingly dangerous skills. Instead of exploiting his eclectic expertise for anything sinister, Jose chooses to light up rooms with laughter, cleverly intertwining tales of digital escapades, military life, magical mysteries, and playful pranks. His unique act not only tickles the funny bone but also showcases the power of humor to transform and transcend. WEBSITE |

Steve was an international geologist in Houston when he first walked on stage at the Comedy Workshop where Bill Hicks and Sam Kinnison were rising to stardom. Rocks? Seriously?

LA was next where he began writing animation for Howie Mandel's Bobby's World, Sabrina, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and tons more. For the next twenty years standup took a back seat until now. Steve is 64 but looks 74 because he drinks like he's 24. Now he returns to the stage, literally back from the dead. Older but no wiser. TWITTER |
