Jimmie made his stand-up debut as an opening act on New Year's Eve in 1967 for "The Last Poets," a militant poetry group, and was such a hit that he stayed with the group for a year and a half building and polishing his jive-styled act. Jimmie eventually became a regular at Budd Friedman’s Improv stage in New York. In 1974 he was cast as J.J. Evans of the popular urban-styled sitcom “Good Times.” Today, Jimmie's main focus has remained the stand-up circuit, touring an average of 25-30 weeks a year. The rubbery-faced, tunnel-mouthed comic continues to pop up occasionally on the late night talk show forum. In his spare time he writes scripts for television and films.
Stanley Ullman has appeared at the premier comedy clubs across the country. His many television credits include “The Golden Girls,” Showtime’s “Funniest Person In America,” FOX’s “Comic Strip Live” and “The Guiding Light.” Television fans will recognize his appearance in commercials for Campbell’s Soup, Meister Brau, Wagner Paint Rollers, Wendy’s and Federal Express.
Matt Morales has been winning over audiences with his razor-sharp wit and narrative style since starting his stand-up comedy career in 2002. Topics range from the culture shock that comes from moving to California (Morales is a Louisiana native), psychotic family members, odd living situations and edgy, unconventional material about his many failed relationships.
