Paul Oddo (New York, NY) https://www.pauloddo.com/ 2012 Boston Comedy Festival Winner Paul Oddo (Oh-Dough) has been performing and obsessively creating his original style of comedy for nearly a decade. His voice and perspective are uniquely his own, making him difficult to compare to other comedians. Through his practice & study of Stand up, Improv and Sketch comedy, his stage presence is both methodical and fluid. Each of his shows are different, and have a certain “had to be there” element that makes them especially fun and memorable. Paul lives in NYC and is originally from Houston, TX. - Boston Comedy Festival

I’m a female. I have two arms and two legs with a head on top of my torso, well on top of my neck which is on top of my torso. I like having a few beers and shooting the shit with friends. I’m kind of flaky. I’ll make a lot of plans with you the night before, but the next day after sleeping in I probably won’t answer my cell phone if you call. That is just the way that God made me.

Bob Biggerstaff began his comedy career at the legendary Laff Stop Comedy Club in Houston, TX … as a doorman. After a few months “manning the door” he started to perform at the Laff Stop open mic night and developed his self-deprecating, sports related style. Bob quickly became one of Houston’s top comics winning the Funniest Person in Houston Contest. He has been successful in many comedy competitions becoming a national finalist in Sierra Mist’s “Search For the Next Great Comic”, HBO’s “The Lucky 21″, and Comedy Centrals “Open Mic Fight”. Bob made his national television debut on NBC’s hit show Last Comic Standing and was seen on Dave Attell’s HBO special “Captain Miserable” (he’s the guy throwing glitter on Dave at the end). Then came appearances on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham”, a semifinal appearance on Last Comic Standing, NESN’s Comedy All-Stars, and the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show. Most recently Bob was part of the inaugural Moontower Comedy & Oddity Fest in Austin, TX, The Just For Laughs Chicago Festival, and The Great American Comedy Festival in Johnny Carson’s hometown of Norfolk, NE.
