SUMMARY:Aries Spears
DESCRIPTION:Ever since New York native Aries Spears was 14 years old\, he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene throughout America. His quick wit\, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim\, high accolades\, and above all\, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV\, starring in feature films\, appearing on a number of national talk shows\, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city\, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the “Musts” in the US. \nThis past summer\, Aries guest starred in CNN’s “See It Loud” new summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023\, alongside Amanda Seales\, Da’Vinchi\, Debbie Allen\, Deon Cole\, Desus & Mero\, Gabrielle Union\, Jimmie Walker\, Judge Greg Mathis\, Kevin Frazier\, Loni Love\, Lynn Whitfield\, Mo’Nique\, Naturi Naughton\, Omari Hardwick\, Ray J\, Ruben Studdard\, Sherri Shepherd\, Tatyana Ali\, Tiffany Pollard\, Tisha Campbell\, Vivica A. Fox and many more. \nAs a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV\, Aries brought a fresh\, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries’s talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons. \nSome of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for on the show include: Belma Buttons\, Bill Cosby\, Jesse Jackson\, Mike Tyson\, Walter (Crackheads)\, Reggie (Erascist)\, Dollar Bill Montgomery\, Shaquille O’Neal\, The Klumps\, Michael Jackson\, Sisqo\, Evander Holyfield\, El Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown\, Al Pacino\, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch “Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit\, keeping fans tuned in and boosting Mad’s ratings impressively on Saturday night. \nAries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17\, after being spotted in a comedy club\, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar’s The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding\, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit\, Jerry Maguire. \nAries’ fierce momentum paved the way from features to tv and his eight seasons on MadTV. Aries continues to spread his comedic wings with the development of feature film projects — in addition to TV — which he is currently involved in writing. He is presently developing a feature project based on an original character that he created on Mad TV\, as well as a thriller about a young black man immersed in hip-hop culture. Additionally\, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows including: Loveline\, Vibe\, Keenen Ivory Wayans\, Soul Train and Late Friday. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox’s The Best Damn Sports Show Period\, where he created some of the show’s funniest characters during his short time there. \nAries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events\, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has\, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood\, it’s safe to say that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.

SUMMARY:Talent Harris
DESCRIPTION:They often say that you can tell a lot about a person from their name. In this case\, TALENT embodies the definition with full force. TALENT’s comedic style is firmly grounded within his innate ability to combine impromptu humor and an instinctive timely delivery. Often referred to as comedy’s “King of New York”; with his natural ability to bring laughter into household and venues. He has headlined his own comedy shows and tours as well as making special appearances on such reputable programming as: BET’s Comic View\, HBO’s SNAPs & Def Comedy Jam and earned the position as host of New York’s 98.7 KISS FM’s Morning Show. Talent’s capacity for achievement and success is a constantly evolving journey. \nTALENT has been cast alongside such celebrated actors as Danny Devito\, Marisa Tomei\, Rosie Perez\, John Leguizamo\, Vanessa Williams and more. His growing theatrical resume includes appearances in movies such as\, “Sunset Park:\, “Full Court Press”\, “A Brother’s Kiss”\, “Fulgazi”\, “My Brother” and “With or Without You”. Growing into an icon and one of the most successful artists in the entertainment world\, TALENT’s comedic gift stretches far beyond the stand-up circuit. He has loaned his voice to national commercials\, music album collaborations with such celebrities as\, producer-rap superstar\, Missy Elliot. The multi dimensional TALENT has extended his range with an interlude as a contributing writer for one of the largest urban/hip hop magazines: The Source. TALENT’s column\, “Joker’s Wild” offered frank commentaries with an impressive list of “acclaimed” comedians. \nHe currently continues to headline several open-air venues\, in the face of Covid-19. Prior to being forced to alter the types of venues in which he performs\, he headlined at every premier comedy club throughout the United States and abroad\, such as Caroline’s on Broadway\, Showtime at the Apollo and many others. The comedian who has put a trademark on finding humor in the dynamics of life by entertainingly reminding us not to take all this too serious\, because…”IT’S JUST COMEDY!” is one of the most sought after comedians in the business. \nIn an effort to remain fresh and one of comedy’s most innovative\, TALENT has most recently assumed the following roles: Creator and Producer of social medial platform podcasts and radio shows as follows: Motivational Mondayz\, Da Divided States of America\, Soundtracks & Sunday Stories\, The Next Episodes\, It’s Just Comedy the Show\, The Bump & Grind Café and Twitter After Dark. He is a co-host on the Wake-up Club @103.9 WDKX/Rochester New York\, as well as an on-air contributor for Buffalo’s WUFO FM. \nThe seasoned comedian who currently resides in New York City\, has dedicated almost 30 years to his profession. Although this era may seem like a lifetime to some\, the past almost 30 years have merely laid the foundation of a greater\, wiser and stronger culmination of successes. Yet\, as TALENT says\, “To this day\, he is just getting started.” TALENT’s tireless efforts continue through acting\, endorsements\, development deals\, television scripts\, and entertainment venues. If that were not enough to keep him busy\, TALENT acts as Creator and Producer of the top comedy of the past decade: “The NY Kings Comedy Tour”. \nAs they say laughter is the best medicine and humor lightens your burdens\, inspires hopes\, connects you to others\, and keeps you grounded while keeping in mind…IT’S JUST COMEDY!!

DESCRIPTION:Modern media insists we categorize talent– you know\, put folks in boxes according to their entertaining skill set. It works fine for the one-dimensional. He’s a movie star\, she’s a singer/songwriter\, he’s a comedian\, she’s a stripper. You get my drift. Which brings us to the hydra-headed multi-faceted\, standup comic\, impressionist\, actor\, renaissance freak (yes\, freak) genius\, Craig Gass. \nHis eclectic resume is scripted from two decades of working rooms\, following leads\, embarrassing and endearing strangers while building a modest and devoted fan base. Craig didn’t pursue a particular career path\, the career happened to Craig; in no small way thanks to his uncanny ability to capture the voice and idiosyncrasies of the celebrities he impersonates. \nCraig began doing standup in 1993 by hitting the grueling\, bumpy comedy circuit road and cultivating his craft in whatever crappy bar or club would have him. Shortly into the new millennium\, shock radio kingpin\, Howard Stern\, took Craig under his massive\, media wing. The Mt. Vernon\, New York son of deaf parents made frequent\, freaky appearances on Stern\, blowing listener minds with his uncanny impressions of notorious celebrities like Christopher Walken\, Gene Simmons\, Gilbert Gottfried\, Tracy Morgan\, Sam Kinison\, Al Pacino and Metallica drummer\, Lars Ulrich. This platform lead to Hollywood\, but not like you’d think.

SUMMARY:Rodney Laney
DESCRIPTION:RODNEY LANEY was born and raised in Paterson\, New Jersey and has always been a comedian. Even as a toddler\, he would entertain at family gatherings\, most of the time against his will. Years of therapy have helped him recover from these traumatic times. Thanks to Rodney’s school years\, school administrators decided corporal punishment was no longer necessary in the school system; they now want capital punishment! \nLaney’s comedy career started capriciously while in the Air Force. He was stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton\, Ohio where he accompanied a fellow airman\, an amateur comic\, to a comedy club. His friend bombed\, but Rod took the stage and received thunderous applause. It was instant addiction. For Rodney\, it was the stage\, for his friend it was… Well\, you know. He has executive produced and acted in the feature film Pride & Loyalty\, which started as a pay per view release. He played Willie in the comedy “Tinsel Town\,” created by Public Defender Pictures\, which starred John Palumbo (OZ) and Johnny Williams\, (GoodFellas\, Honeymoon in Vegas.) \nRodney Laney has completed pilots for Comedy Central\, MTV\, and A&E. He has been seen on P.Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO\, FOX News Channel’s Red Eye\, The Late Late Show and Comics Unleashed CBS\, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend\, and the BBC’s The World Stand’s Up\, truTV’s The Smoking Gun Presents…\, comedy.tv on the HD channel\, and two appearances on Gotham Comedy Live AXSTV. He has also appeared at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival Montreal and LOL Lounge TBS Presents A Very Funny Festival: Just for Laughs Chicago. \nDetermination may be Rodney Laney’s biggest asset; according to his credit report\, his only asset. He is ambitious\, professional\, and determined. I could go on and on about me\, I mean him\, but I have reached the end of the page.
