February 15  April Macie

Do you remember the girl in your high school who had a horrible rumor spread about her? It might have involved a football team, a dog and some peanut butter or processed meat. Well, that girl in Easton, Pennsylvania was April Macie. So, where did she turn for comfort? Not to her family... cause' they're all crazy. Crazy or drunk...  So, where do you go when you're an outcast in school and your family tree is rotten? While some might sit rocking in the fetal position... slowly humming Copa CopaCabbana, others might turn to the lord and April turned to promiscuity.  Promiscuity and then comedy.

With her irreverent brand of overtly sexual humor she attempts to break down double-standards and lend her voice to sexually dissatisfied women everywhere. April would like to add that she doesn't really know what irreverent means, but she's heard a lot of other comics use it and thought it sounded kinda' cool. "Her comedy is searingly honest," said this guy she knows from working at Hooter's who came to see her show one time. Although she has only been doing comedy for a short period of time, she has been using comedy as a defense her entire life. She loves to perform and her favorite role to play is victim. For April, comedy isn't a career, comedy isn't even a choice. Comedy is a calling!! She totally stole that quote from Bernie Mac... but it's soooo great and she truly believes it is her calling. April also loves to talk about herself in the third person.

April 11  Rob O'Reilly

Having just graduated from Boston University, Rob OReilly is at the forefront of a new breed of intellectual, self-deprecating comedians. It all began in Ohio, where Rob made is stand-up debut when only 15 years-old at a high school talent show. Losing his comedy virginity was a lot like losing his actual virginity: it was very awkward and there was one person laughing.

By 18, Rob won Clevelands largest comedy competition and earned an academic scholarship to Boston University, where he became a well-known alternative comic and a finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival.

Although he now resides in New York City, Rob brings his clean humor to colleges across the country. With jokes about his generations pop culture, such as the Skip-It, CapriSun commercials, Highlights Magazine, and MTVs True Life, Rob is the ideal college performer.
