Stand up! for Haiti

Meet the Comedians:

Pittsburg native Johnny Steele, the 1992 San Francisco International Comedy Competition winner, provides plenty of laughs talking about his hometown and Bay Area experiences. You name it, he’s done it: hosted Bay Area radio and television shows and eaten at the New Mecca Café. Check him out at www.johnnysteele.com

The lovely and talented, not to mention sexy, septuagenarian Lynn Ruth Miller is beloved in England, where she is the queen of the Edinburg International Fringe Festival. She was the People’s Choice winner at the 2009 Branson (Mo.) Comedy Festival and a finalist in the World’s Funniest Female Contest. Meet her at www.lynnruthmiller.com

Calm down! Mr. Fun, Larry “Bubbles” Brown, is finally making his first appearance in Pittsburg after choosing to open for Dana Carvey in Las Vegas and appear repeatedly on David Letterman instead of visiting Johnny Steele’s hometown. Find out about the popular mainstay of Bay Area comedy at www.larrybubblesbrown.com
  
Michael Slack, who expected to be the world’s greatest Major League Baseball-playing archeologist, is instead hitting home runs as a comedian while waiting for his promising career in mall security takes off. Learn why his comfortable style of comedy is described as “easier to hear with a microphone” by visiting www.michaelslack.com

You never know what to expect except a good time when Buck Butane shows up. You may get a little music, a little standup comedy and maybe an appearance or two by one of his friends like Columbo, Bill Cosby or laugh machines Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi or Peter Lorre. See him, feel him, touch him (who?) at www.buckbutane.com

He was once voted the most popular and the most hated sportscaster in the same year. And, while, sadly, he will not be able to introduce his beloved Bay City Rollers, the Great One has been resurrected to tell it like it is and once again host a variety show like his “Saturday Night Live” on ABC. Tune him in at www.mrcinheaven.com

Known for his successful movie appearances, Kevin Klein will not be allowed to speak in Italian at this appearance in deference to husbands who bring their wives to the show. Since leaving his oval office, he has trimmed many a bush around his home. He’ll produce “nucular”-sized laughs. You can hail him at www.kellypro.com/imaginativeacts/kevinklein.htm

Pittsburg resident Mo Jones is either too shy to be photographed or too small to be caught by a normal camera after losing a ton – or close to it – of weight. The body may be smaller, but the heart he shares and laughs he produces are larger than ever. You can see him at STAND UP! For Haiti on Friday, April 9 at 8 p.m. at the Creative Arts Building, 250 School St., Pittsburg
