Paul & Storm
|
Paul and Storm have been writing and performing funny songs together for a long, long time, starting with their stint together in a cappella band Da Vinci's Notebook. Their music tends to make people laugh and feel good, and Paul and Storm believe that this makes their pursuit noble, right and just.
BONUS: their live show is better than 1,000 Fonzies, and more spellbinding than Mr. T on a unicycle.
Anyone with ADD will appreciate the broad range of territory that Paul and Storm cover in their music... Chicken nuggets. Love. Boxing nuns. Relationships. Pirates. Friendship. If James Taylor were on fire.
Catchy melodies and well-constructed music underpin the comedy, and in live performance their harmonies draw comparisons to the Everly Brothers, while their stage presence evokes the Barenaked Ladies. They will do nearly anything to win the hearts and minds of their audiences, and often throw Twinkies, Moon Pies and/or other snack cakes into the crowd to help seal the deal. Occasionally, panties are thrown back.
All of their music is available from their website (www.paulandstorm.com) in CD format or as downloadable mp3's.
Paul and Storm's music is often heard on the "Bob and Tom" syndicated morning radio show, and has been heard on “The Drew Carey Show”, Comedy Central, XM Satellite Radio's "Dr. Demento" show, and on the popular web cartoon site Homestarrunner.com.

Hank Green

In 2007 John Green became obsessed with online video and he dragged his brother Hank into it as well. The brothers began making daily video blogs to each other as a way to reconnect and grow their brotherhood as adults. Humor and one-upping each other was always a big part of their brotherhood, so maybe they should have expected that it would escalate» but they did not.
Somehow, the intimate atmosphere of two brothers talking about their lives and trying to make eachother laugh ended up becoming a significant phenomenon. Brotherhood 2.0 eventually broadened into Vlogbrothers and the invisible state of nerdfighteria, a place where hundreds of thousands of people reside. Nerdfighters.com is a social network with over 30,000 members and John and Hank continue to make videos three times per week and their audience is still growing.
Their videos have been watched over 70 million times and the project has spun off several other successful projects. Every year, the brothers mobilize their community as well as a large portion of YouTube to make videos promoting charities and showing how easy and nccessarity it is to give time and money to non-profit organizations.

Mike Phirman

Mike Phirman is incredibly uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person, so he is going to write his bio in the second person. You attended UCLA where you received a degree in Philosophy. While at college, you met Chris Hardwick, a fellow stand-up comedy enthusiast with whom you began performing silly musical acts under the name “Hard ‘n Phirm.” Together, you’ve made a record, driven through a lot of corn, and taped a “Comedy Central Presents” special that you feel went not-too-badly. Aside from music, you’ve also worked as a visual effects artist for movies, music videos, and TV shows like “C.S.I.” and “C.S.I.: Miami.” (Don’t tell anyone, but on one episode of C.S.I. wherein the camera follows a spark that sets off a car bomb, if you play it frame-by-frame, the spark briefly spells out “Hi Mom”) In May you released a solo album called “The Very Last Songs I Will Ever Record (Part 1)”. You lost your mind when “Weird Al” Yankovic showed up to perform on one of the tracks. On a personal note, you love folding laundry. Also, you were born without a sense of smell. And one time, following a root canal, you were informed that the dentist operated on the wrong tooth. Most recently, you googled the words “comedian bio what to write”—you found nothing helpful.
