Johnny Sanchez

JOHNNY SANCHEZ is one of America's premiere comedians. Having performed in Comedy clubs for years, he has honed his comedy into an exquisite art form. With his feverish energy, detailed characters and pinpoint delivery, his shows take you on a laughing journey of people, places and life. Johnny's audiences are always captivated by his clever metaphors, inventive scenarios and his all too true characters that are relatable and hilarious. He is a comedian who also transcends as a true performer.

Besides his club shows, Johnny has toured with Louie Anderson, "The Latin Kings of Comedy" with Paul Rodriguez and most recently he performed and taped a special in Jamaica along with Cedric The Entertainer, Bill Bellamey and Tommy Davidson. Other TV appearances include the "HBO Comedy Showcase", "The Late, Late Show" on CBS, "Comics Unleashed" on ABC, "The USO Comedy Tour" and his own "Half Hour Special" on Comedy Central. And being a part of Showtime's hit "Payaso Comedy Slam" he recently starred and Executive Produced the "3 Non Juans" for Showtime which premiered in 2010 and will be out on DVD in 2011.

He was also one of only a handful of comedians to be personally chosen by George Lopez to appear on "Lopez Tonight".

He was also a cast member on FOX's hit sketch comedy series MADtv for the shows last two seasons. Most notably with his fan favorite character, "Lil Joker". Johnny also lent his voice to the Oscar Winning Animated film "Happy Feet", as Lombardo, alongside Robin Williams and Elijah Wood. And he spent three weeks in Sydney, Australia working on and reprising his role as Lombardo on "Happy Feet Two", which has added such stars as Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Sophia Vegara.

George Perez

George Perez is one of the best up and coming comedians of his time. His wit and charm capture an audience and from there on the laughs are unstoppable. His street smarts and charismatic personality poke fun at the harsh, yet hilarious realities of growing up as a Latino in today's society. He uses his own life experiences as his anecdote to every joke. His poise and familiarity with growing up in the streets, becoming a young father, and tearing down every stereotype has aided George in becoming a better comic. It also allows the audience to relate to him on a higher level; making his comedy that much more real and amusing.

In the past seven years George has had the opportunity to enlighten audiences with his comedy in clubs all across Southern California and the Mid West. He has appeared on numerous television shows, such as Comedy Central, SHOWTIME, PAYASO COMEDY SLAM,LATV Live, Loco Comedy Jam, Mind of Mencia, Master P’s Black Superman and starred in three episodes of MTV's Yo Momma, where he got to use his sly wit and quick thinking to win his episode. After working with Wilmer Valderama, he was asked to return for the Best of LA episode as a final competitor
