Tim Koslo has been delighting audiences internationally for over 20 years with his multi-faceted style of comedy. From the moment he hits the stage with his manic, animated, sideways look at life, the crowd, be it corporate, club or fundraiser is filled with a sense of something wonderfully strange this way comes.

Koslo's show doesn't just rely on visual stimuli for audience response. Mastered dialects, witty prop interplay, dead-on impressions and impressive electric guitar absurdities together with hilarious off the wall humour make up Tim's show.

You may have heard him on a variety of zany morning shows during his 7 years as an on-air radio personality. You may have seen him perform at one of the thousands of corporate and comedy club shows he's appeared at across North America.

"It's all in the delivery!" he says with a grin. "You can say virtually anything as long as you're smiling and friendly. If I told some of my material with anger and an edge in my voice, someone would kill me!"

Not that he hasn't had his share of...incidents. A handful of animal rights types walked out of his show in Ashland, Oregon shaking their heads and their fists as they stomped away in their leather shoes and vests. The indignant ones then hopped into an old VW van that coughed up a huge cloud of blue smoke when it finally fired up. This tirade led to one of Chris' favorite and most insightful pieces of material that delights every audience he delivers it to, material that he simply refers to as "the Bit."

A favorite in the Portland area , audiences and critics are saying great things about the musical comedy of MICHAEL JENKINS. The ONLY electric ukulele playing comedian in the known world. His monologues, novelty songs, musical parodies and audience interaction offer a varietal entertainment package.

MICHAEL JENKINS has performed in and "headlines" for comedy clubs and events all over North America, including the Oregon State Fair and Expo, Harvey's Comedy Club and the 2001 Bite of Portland. Michael has also recently toured with Jimmy "JJ" Walker from the 70's TV show "Good Times" and the "Gong Shows" Legendary Unknown Comic. Mike's credits include appearances on "The Comedy Channel" and "Americas Funniest People".

Veteran Comedian Michael Jenkins also acts as the host for “THE MISTER GAMESHOW COMEDY SHOW”, the ultimate in exciting, hilarious, interactive entertainment for audiences of all ages. Though primarily a Comedy Show, The Mister Gameshow incorporates a fast paced interactive “TV Style” game show format, with all the lights, buzzers, bells and whistles, in which audience members can win Fabulous Prizes.

As a comic. Tom Liske delivers the music and wit of Steve Marlin combined with the mischief and "innocence" of Jerry Seinfeld. Bursting onto the comedy scene with a style all his own, Tom Liske truly delights and entertains audiences of all types.

Comedy audiences are embraced by Tom’s humor, his quick wit and charmed by his musical talent of singing and personal song writing. 1-us humor consists of parodies of popular songs and artists applied directly to his audience. He boasts a fine fare of impressions ranging front singing impersonations of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Elvis as well as vocal and acted impressions of actor Jimmy Stewart and President Bill Clinton. Tom draws from a professional and personal background of health care management, being raised on the prairies, living in Los Angeles and basically being a product of the golden years of television.

A real change from the usual fire in today’s comics - Tom makes his audiences smile, blush and laugh, but not necessarily in that order. Most of all Tom makes his audiences feel special and appreciated because they are.
