Gerry Bednob |
Judd Apatow fans will have no difficulty remembering character actor Gerry Bednob, given his visible and highly memorable turn as Mooj, the diminutive, short-tempered, expletive-spouting older gentleman who works in the local electronics shop opposite Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) in The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005). Actually, this Indian-American player of film and television remained extremely prolific, and enjoyed multiple collaborations with Apatow that both preceded and succeeded Virgin.

A native of Trinidad (with East Indian ancestry), Bednob originally attended the University of Toronto as a sociology major — a field far removed from acting, though Bednob had naturally played the role of class clown in school for years, which seemed to predestine him for stage and film. He briefly worked as a high school guidance counselor, then made a go at stand-up comedy at a club called Yuk-Yuks, and his triumphant success in that venue (over the course of two years) inspired him to move to Los Angeles. In the City of Angels, Bednob won a major stand-up competition and performed on The Merv Griffin Show, then landed appearances on The Wonder Years and Mad About You, and in the Pauly Shore comedy Encino Man (1992), as well as the Apatow situation comedy Undeclared. Virgin, however, brought about his broadest exposure and recognition. Bednob reteamed with producer Apatow for a role in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, then signed on for a colorful supporting role in writer-director Kevin Smith’s raunchy sex farce Zack and Miri Make a Porno opposite Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen.

If asked why one would forego engineering for stand-up comedy, Gary’s answer is usually,

I am a standup comedian and columnist. My life’s work is cutting through the BS and shouting the truth from the mountain top. my brutal honesty has cost me dearly but it has set my soul and conscience free. I love what I do and do it very well. My columns appear often in the LA Daily News, and my jokes appear often in Jay Leno’s monologue on the Tonight Show. In nightclubs I cut loose and vent my spleen. (I’ve been told I have a lovely spleen, thanks for asking.) My heroes are anyone who lays waste to popular culture. |

Jason Resler |
With a youthful grin shining through his generation-X facade, Jason has been delighting comedy audiences with his quick wits, clever material, and colorful characters since the late 1990s. A multi-dimensional performer Jason takes the crowd on a ride delivering razor sharp lines of deadpan cynicism in the midst of high energy charisma. His comedy derived from real life experience and the everyday nuances of that life…
Read More
Born and raised in the baseball heavy cow town of Sacramento, yet despite his love of the game, by age 13 Jason was convinced by coaches that he would probably never be able to hit a curveball. This created a dilemma and under the pressure of his schools “career day” he decided his new dream was to be a professional stand-up comic. He was so extremely shy and reserved as an adolescent that the decision seemed out of character by those who knew Jason best. But they did not know about the journal full of comedic material that Jason had kept well hidden within his mind. His parents worried and cautioned him to have something solid to “fall back on”… a good job working in the coal mines perhaps???
Jason left Nor Cal for the East coast at an early age returning home as a well decorated Navy veteran of the Desert Strom War. He then worked briefly as a sports columnist for a local paper, a sheet metal fabricator, and as a postal worker… A vet who grew increasingly more liberal following his discharge, Jason had numerous run-ins with management, the lack of management, and other misinformed individuals. Following repeated encouragement from his co-workers Jason finally left the security of the mines to share his thoughts, views, and stories on comedy stages across the country. Now, one of the most respected acts within the business, Jason was ranked among “Americas Top Touring Comedians” by the Entertainment Business Journal, he has performed improv onstage with Robin Williams, and his debut comedy album “Road Comic” can be heard on XM Satellite Radio. With a strong following of loyal fans in the Northern California and Reno area that is now reaching up to the Northwest and down to the Southwest, Jason has an act that grabs your attention, keeps it, and makes you want to hear more…

Lawrence Thomas |
Large and loud, alternately topical and goofy, Thomas loves to make people laugh. He hurls hurricane lines out of a frenzied onstage storm that is little more than his own personality focused in a single direction. He lives for the moment, but at full throttle! |
