Chad Lehrman
The Jew
Chad Lehrman began performing stand-up comedy in his hometown of
Tucson, Arizona, where he became a regular at Laff's Comedy Club and
also hosted the first weekly comedy showcase in downtown Tucson.
Chad's quirky and sarcastic style has been described as being "like a
dry martini." After a move to the San Francisco Bay Area, Chad has
appeared on NBC's Last Comic Standing, performed sold-out shows with
the Coexist Comedy Tour, and created the popular comedy resource
SFstandup.com.
Chad's writing has been featured in the Complete Idiot's Guide to
Jokes, the National Lampoon website, and even this sentence.

Welcome
Holy war has never been this much fun.
Humans have long fought and killed one another over their religious
differences, only to make up again when they realize how much they
miss the other guys' cuisine. Why can't we all get along despite our
differences?
Comedians come in many different creeds and comics never fight amongst
themselves. It's true, and if you buy that I have an original shroud
of Turin I'd like to sell ya.
Can an atheist, a Hindu, a Christian, a Muslim and a Jew go on the
road together, on stage together and be an example of how to get
along? Probably not, but their failure should be good for some laughs.
Watch for this tour, coming soon to a club near you. We'll be posting
dates soon.
Namaste, God Bless, Peace Be With You, Whatever.

John Ross
The Christian
Armed with only an Omni-chord and a microphone, Ross takes the tragic
trials of his own life and transforms them into a peculiar, yet
genuine presentation,
Although being the first methadone-addicted child born in the great
state of California, Ross' successes reach far beyond the
drug-addicted womb of his now late mother.
Before entering the realm of stand-up comedy John embarked on three
U.S. tours with two separate musical acts, Anguish Unsaid and Like
David. Ross played guitar for both bands, selling over 30,000 units
through Santa Cruz based Christian indie record label, Bettie Rocket
Records. Anguish Unsaid shared the stage with such bands as Suicidal
Tendencies, 7 Seconds, P.O.D., and ZAO, while releasing two
full-length albums in 1999 and 2002. Their music was also featured on
Fox Sports Net's Blue Torch program.
After only six-months of doing stand-up comedy, Ross was invited to
perform at the world famous Impov in Hollywood, with the Heavy Hitters
of Comedy and the Rebels of Comedy. He has since performed at clubs
all over the West Coast, opening up for acts such as Norm Macdonald,
Nick Swardson and Mike Meehan.
Ross will also be hosting G-ROCK (skate/snow/music) (www.grock.com)
later this year.

Tapan Trivedi
The Hindu
Tapan Trivedi grew up in India . When he was 22 he came to America .
Besides blondes and redheads he discovered Standup Comedy. Pushed to
the stage on the insistance of his friends he went up on stage at the
celebrated Houston Laff Stop open mike where he killed his first time
on stage.
Addicted to laughter he kept plugging on till he was a Finalist in the
Funniest Person in Houston Competition. Since then he has performed
with comedians like Dave Attell,Tom Rhodes, Bobby Slayton,Debbie
Gutierrez,Jerry Corley,Michael Pace,Ralphie Mae and Lahna Turner.
Constantly on the road winning audiences with his brilliant writing
and hillarious observations of life in the USA as an East Indian
immigrant , he still finds time for television commercials, radio
performances and brief movie performances. He recently wrapped up a
movie for the Howard Stern Film Festival.
Sacramento News and Review calls him one of the best comedians in
California - period and Jeffrey Callison of NPR says 'This cat made me
laugh out loud more than ANY guest ever has!' Tapan has since gained
notoriety by his racial observations and his ultra geeky one liners.
His catch phrase - 'I can't understand America ' is gaining popularity
by the day!

Keith Lowell Jensen
The Atheist
Keith Lowell Jensen has toured the U.S. and Canada as an MC for Spike
and Mike's Festival of Animation and again as a member of acclaimed
sketch comedy troupe I Can't Believe It's Not Comedy.
When not on stage performing comedy KLJ likes to panhandle dressed as
a banana (or a mime, mummy, what have you) resulting in the soon to be
released documentarty film Why Lie, I Need A Drink.
"Oh Holy Day", a book of short stories authored by KLJ was released in
2006 just in time for Christmas, because everyone needs presents, even
filthy rotten atheists. Two new books are in the works. "The Atheist's
Survival Guide" and "Truly, Awful, Stuff" (based on his popular
website www.TrulyAwfulStuff.com.)
KLJ was born Catholic. At age 12 he was "born again" and became a
passionate Southern California style liberal Christian. At age 16 he
let go of faith completely and has identified as an agnostic atheist
ever since. He is probably the preachiest atheist you'd ever want to
meet.

Tissa Hami
The Muslim
Tissa Hami is one of the world's few female Muslim stand-up comics.
Her unique act and fresh perspective on life as an Iranian-American
woman leave audiences in shock and awe. From Islamic fundamentalists
to white liberals to good old-fashioned racists, no one is safe from
Tissa's sharp wit. Tissa, who performs in Islamic hijab, (and English)
hopes her comedy will help break down stereotypes about Muslim women
and foster understanding between Iranians and Americans.
Tissa grew up in a traditional Iranian family in a predominantly white
suburb of Boston. She holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in
international affairs from Ivy League universities. Her parents are
thrilled that she is using her expensive education to pursue a career
in comedy.
People who disapprove of her act will be taken hostage.
