Jill Bourque is a stand up comedian, improvisor, and producer all necessary skills for raising two boys and one husband. She began stand up when her first born was three months old as a way to get out of the house. Jill hosts a popular weekly comedy show "Jillarious" at Tommy T's in San Francisco and has performed over 200 hundred shows at the legendary Purple Onion. She's the creator of the international hit improv show, "How We First Met," which plays San Francisco each year for Valentine's Day.

Bob McIntyre was born a coal miner's daughter in a cabin on a hill in Butcher Hollow. At the age of 13, he got his first job as a waiter at the local BINGO hall where he learned the skills that would carry him through an additional 30 years of various restaurant jobs in a variety of establishments that would never be referred to as "fine dining." Along the way he performed some comedy here and there but not in a lot of other places. His cat weighs 19 pounds, 1/5 of Bob's own weight.
Lisa Geduldig is the creator, producer, & MC of a variety of annual comedy shows: Kung Pao Kosher Comedy: Jewish comedy in Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant (now in its 20th year); The George Bush Going Away Party; Funny Girlz; A Muslim, A Mormon, and A Jew Walk into A Bar; The Color of Funny; Cafe con Comedy; Charo...
