The Sklar Brothers, set for Comedy Works Larimer Square, June 27 - 29:

Randy and Jason Sklar are a comic duo that have guest starred in many TV shows, including an Emmy Award winning episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the FX hit It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as well as Adult Swim's Children's' Hospital. They also starred as conjoined twins in a memorable episode of Grey's Anatomy and as warring agents on HBO's Entourage. Their half hour Comedy Central Presentsstand up special is still in regular rotation on the network.

On the big screen, Randy and Jason can be seen in Wild Hogs, The Comebacks, Citizen Toxie, The Prime Gig, Bubble Boy, and My Baby's Daddy. They can be also seen on Law and Order, Becker, Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Apartment 2F, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Randy and Jason wrapped their 4th and final season of their critically acclaimed comedy series, Cheap Seats, on ESPN Classic. Currently, they write and appear in a regular segment on ESPN's SportsCenter called The Bracket. After developing pilots with HBO Independent Productions, WB, and NBC, Jason and Randy provided the voices of Biff and Chip Oblong on the critically acclaimed animated show, The Oblongs. They have developed a unique style "a tag team delivery in which one talks over the end of the other's sentence, completing, adding to, or reaffirming his comment (much like the raps of The Beastie Boys)," wrote Neil Strauss of the New York Times. Randy and Jason also record a popular sports comedy podcast -Sklarbro Country - weekly comedic takes on the worlds of sports and pop culture. You don't have to know about sports to enjoy it, as long as you like silly puns and great comedians. Listed as a top 10 podcast of 2012 by The Onion AV Club!

Josh Blue, set for Comedy Works Landmark Village, June 28 & 29:

Perhaps best known as the comedian who puts the Cerebral in Cerebral Palsy, Josh Blue exploded onto the national comedy scene capturing the laughter and admiration of millions as the winner of NBC's Last Comic Standing. Josh's first special, Comedy Central Presents: Josh Blue received rave reviews from fans and critics alike. His Showtime special, Sticky Change, is now available on iTUNES and amazon.com

With quite the extensive resume, Josh has appeared as a regular guest star on Comedy Central's Mind of Mencia and his story has been featured on news networks nationwide. He was the first comedian to perform stand-up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and was named Best Winning Reality Show Guest for his appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly. He became the first comic to debut a stand-up special on the big screen when 7 More Days in the Tank was shown in theatres across the country. Josh has been featured in numerous print publications including People Magazine and The New York Times. Josh has also performed at the prestigious HBO Aspen Comedy Festival, Comedy Central's South Beach Comedy Festival, and The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas.

His stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are exactly alike.

Rusty Z, set for Comedy Works Landmark Village, June 26 - 30: Bring the family Sunday for an All Ages, Family Show!

Hypnotic Comic Rusty Z has been entertaining people throughout the United States with his combination stand-up comedy and stage hypnosis show. After a successful 15 year career as a stand-up comedian (appearing on such television shows as A&E's An Evening at the Improv and The Dennis Miller Show) James R. Zingelman decided to switch gears (and persona) and do a stage hypnosis act.

Using the alias "Rusty Z," James has been putting volunteers to sleep and bringing out their hidden talents on stages across the country. Rusty Z's mastery of rapid hypnotic inductions and his comedic background, not to mention his groovy-hipster stage presence, brings you a show that's funny from start to finish.

Rusty Z's hilarious hypnoses are done in good taste and not meant to embarrass the participants. In fact, the volunteers on stage usually find that they have had one of their best experiences ever! Rusty is one of the few bona fide comedians doing a hypnosis show. See what a difference a comic mind can make in a show like this.
