Chris Strait:

If your type of comedian is someone who reminds us all how funny we all are, Chris Strait is for you! No topic is off limits for the California native, but he’s just telling his story. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Strait is a study in what happens when a man spends his formative years standing out. From being the only white guy among black guys in the neighborhood, to being the only tall guy among short guys in the boxing gym, to being the only man among women in grad school, Strait became an expert on people. If you don’t believe me, try and count how many times you laugh while saying “that is so true!” He tells it like it is, never losing his smile! Strait headlines comedy clubs, private events, and colleges all over the U.S. and Canada. You may have also seen him as a commentator on the E! channel, MTV, and several National Lampoon programs. He has also entertained the troops in the Middle East and Europe, in addition to hosting his own boxing show.

A vet who grew increasingly more liberal following his discharge, Jason had numerous run-ins with management, the lack of management, and other misinformed individuals. Following repeated encouragement from his co-workers, Jason finally left the security of the mines to share his thoughts, views, and stories on comedy stages across the country.

Kivi Rogers:

A true product of South Central Los Angeles, Kivi Rogers was born for the spotlight. The second youngest of six boys and one girl, Kivi grew up in the Pueblo Del Rio housing projects. As such, life was never a bore! Whether it was watching the cops beat somebody down, gang members shooting at rival gangs, or he and his best friend Jerome rolling a log on to the railroad tracks and derailing a train, there was never a dull moment. Always the class clown and neighborhood prankster, he never thought comedy would be his calling. However, after earning a degree in electronics, and landing a position with a reputable firm in Orange County, his antics finally caught up with him. His co-workers, tired of being the butt of his jokes, finally coaxed him into taking his act to the stage. He did, and won his very first comedy competition. Afterwards, he turned off his disk drive and said goodbye to the 9 to 5. Since then Kivi's star has continued to rise. He showcased at the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado... after which he landed a development deal with Castle Rock Entertainment. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show w/Jay Leno. In 1998 Kivi was nominated for comedian of the year at the National Association of Campus Activities (NACA).
