The
Others
Comedy
Show starring Aron Kader,
Dean Obeidallah, Vidur Kapur and Tissa Hami
If you aren’t White, Black or Hispanic
in America, you are one of “The Others.” This
hysterical group of "others" includes Arab, Indian,
Muslim and Iranian comics. From Comedy Central's "Axis
of Evil" TV special come Arab-American comedians Aron
Kader (from "Comics Unleahed" and FX) and Dean Obeidallah
(from ABC's "The View" and CNN's "Inside the
Middle East"). Joining them are Indian-American comedian
Vidur Kapur (2008 nominee "Brink of Fame Comic"
by The LOGO Channel and Fox's "On the Lot") and
Iranian-American comedian Tissa Hami (ABC's "The View"
and PBS).
Vidur Kapur was selected as one of the top four Asian comics
in North America to perform at the world famous "Just
for Laughs" Comedy Festival in Montreal in July 2006.

Lot" on FOX television. He has co-starred with Margaret

Christopher
Titus
From
ABC's "Big Shots"
and Fox's "Titus"
Christopher Titus jokes about things most comics
would find impossible to make funny. Custody battles, insanity,
family suicides, heart attacks, and fist fighting his father
are all topics to be confronted, not hidden from. "I
think our collective psychosis is hilarious. With the world
moving as fast as it is, if we weren't dysfunctional, we couldn't
function," says Titus.
Titus is that most rare of comics in that his material is
edgy and pushes the envelope, but is still accessible and
meaningful to the common audience. After much experimentation,
he debuted his one man show, "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding,”
at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles, where the audience gave
him a standing ovation. The show provided the basis for his
hit sitcom “Titus,” which ran on FOX from 2000-2002.
Titus has also appeared on a number of other television shows
including “Premium Blend,” “The Tonight
Show,” “Politically Incorrect” and Comedy
Central’s USO Comedy Tour. He was a host of Comedy Central’s
“Live at Gotham” in 2006 and can currently be
seen playing CEO Brody Johns on the new ABC series “Big
Shots.”

Eddie
Griffin
From
"Malcolm and Eddie"
and "Undercover Brother"
A popular comic turned actor who started his
career on-stage as a dare, funnyman Eddie Griffin's memorable
supporting roles in such films as Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
have built the comedian an ever-growing fan base and a path
to his first starring role in 2002's Undercover Brother. With
a comedic style reminiscent of such classic comics as Richard
Pryor and Redd Foxx, Griffin gained exposure opening for comic
Andrew Dice Clay on a 22-city tour and later in a series of
impromptu performances at Los Angeles' popular Comic Store.
Quickly following with performances on HBO's
Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam and a Cable Ace Award-nominated
special, Griffin began branching out into acting. Roles in
such films as The Last Boy Scout (1991), Coneheads (1993),
and Jason's Lyric (1994) soon led to the sitcom “Malcolm
and Eddie” in 1996. After headlining 2001's Double Take
alongside Orlando Jones, Griffin earned his leading-man status,
and with his role as Anton Jackson in 2002's Undercover Brother,
it seemed as if Griffin had conquered not only the stage,
but the silver screen as well.
