THOR RAMSEY (Comedian)

His is a brand of truly alternative comedy: hysterically funny, without being vulgar.   Since he began performing standup comedy in 1987, Thor has played hundreds of comedy clubs around the country. He has toured nationally with Mark Lowry and Chonda Pierce on The Outrageous Comedy Tour and has been seen in concert with comedians such as Drew Carey.   Thor's television credits include host of the PAX network's family-friendly comedy show BANANAS, A&E's EVENING AT THE IMPROV and PBS's THE COMEDY SHOP.  

MICHAEL JR. (Comedian)
A native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Michael jr. can thank a movie malfunction for his break in comedy. One night, while watching a film with about 400 people, the theater experienced technical difficulties. The film suddenly snapped, and the house lights came on. Acting on a friend's dare, Michael walked to the front of the large and disgruntled audience and discovered his gift.   Since then, Michael has been featured on such shows as NBC's THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO, ABC's JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! and BET's COMIC VIEW. He's performed in some of the nation's top comedy clubs and festivals, and has worked with other top performers in the business including: Gary Shandling, Cedric the Entertainer, Tim Allen, Ray Romano and Brad Garrett.   Michael's style is subtle, yet hilarious - constantly catching audiences off-guard with humor found in everyday experiences.

He also has a keen sensibility for comedy found in cultural differences.   The son of migrant workers, Gilbert was born in Parma, Idaho.
