JAMES P. CONNOLLY is a stand up comedian and radio/TV host known for his playful, confident style and unique sense of humor. James’ attended Harvard University on a Marine Corps ROTC Scholarship, which left him feeling “wicked smart”, but possessing the skills to hurt people who are “actually” smart. While serving in Desert Storm, he was ordered to write jokes for a Colonel. Understanding this to be a lawful and punishable command; James erred on the side of funny. Eventually making his way to Hollywood, he began to perform at some of LA’s major comedy venues and soon popped up on television, commercials, and in small films. In addition to having appeared on Comedy Central, HBO and VH1, James hosted “Live From Here” on XM Radio for National Lampoon and recently recorded a “Blue Collar Radio Comedy Concert” for SiriusXM. He is one of the most played comedians on the Sirius XM Comedy Channels and is a frequent guest on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show. James has made multiple trips overseas to entertain the troops and produces and annual Veterans Day Comedy Show benefiting the Veterans in Film & Television (VFT). James also wants you to know he has a very manly voice.


ANDREW NORELLI uses comedy to navigate his way through confusion and dismay. Whatever happens to him in life, he brings to the stage, and lets the crowd in on his frustration and psychology. Credits include The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Byron Allen Show, Live at Gotham on Comedy Central, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comedy.TV and the nationally syndicated show Comics Unleashed, where he also worked as a monologue joke writer. After appearing at the Montreal Comedy Festival, his performance was praised in the publication Time Out New York. At the Boston Comedy Festival, he was awarded the 2nd place prize, and was the winner of the first annual Las Vegas World Series of Comedy. He has even performed down under at Sydney, Australia’s Comedy Store. A review by The Daily Telegraph read “his show features hair trigger laughs with a deadly aim, all the more so because while some comedians overestimate their own intelligence, Norelli never underestimates ours.”
