In his stage appearances John DiCrosta is “electric” as one Las Vegas reviewer has said. Dozens of voices, off beat impressions, topical humor, sight gags, a few props, and sometimes even ventriloquism are among the tricks this comedian has up his sleeve. His sharp wit and knack for playfully causing trouble with practical jokes, has helped to spread his name across the United States and Canada. His television credits include “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and “American Idol.” In addition to comedy, DiCrosta has become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after voice over actors, providing his vocal talents for numerous video games and various television programs and movies, including 2009’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”

Derek Richards’ act is fast, fresh and at times, fanatical. He brings the funny with tales about his blue-collar upbringing, his mom's dog, the holidays and dating an exotic dancer. A veteran of several USO tours, Richards was chosen as one of the first performers at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and has performed at United States base camps in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Africa. Richards has released two live CDs, “Sensitivity Training” and “Who’s Your Daddy,” and is heard regularly on the “Bob & Tom Show on XM Satellite Radio Network.
