Rob Stapleton
Friday, February 19

Born and raised in the Bronx, Rob Stapleton gives off some of the funniest, razor-sharp, hilarious observations about what is going on in his head and around all of us.  “I see it, I talk about it.” Is the motto he lives by.  He has performed on the popular Showtime at the Apollo, BET’s Comicview and HBO’s Bad Boys of Comedy.  These shows helped make Rob a seasoned comic, which has let to Comedy Central giving him his very own half-hour stand-up special.  Not only is Rob a solid stand-up, he is also a very talented writer who has penned several movie scripts.  It is only a matter of time before Rob becomes a household name.— www.myspace.com/48047909

Craig Karges
Friday, March 26

Craig Karges is truly extraordinary! The "extraordinist" is an award winning entertainer, a nationally recognized speaker and an author. He has made over four thousand appearances on four continents and in all fifty states.  Craig’s performance is an extraordinary blend of mystery, humor, psychology and intuition – he dazzles the mind as he challenges his audiences to question what is real and what is unreal, what is possible and what is impossible. Dennis Miller, comedian and talk show host, put it this way after seeing Craig perform, "this weirds me out."

A table "walks" on stage and then flies into the air! Borrowed finger rings from audience members are linked together in a chain! Thoughts are read and predictions are made and verified. Craig Karges risks his fee in a special demonstration. If he fails, the money is returned to the sponsor!
