August 6th
Chris Voth - appeared in three seasons of "Last Comic Standing" on NBC and Comedy Central and appeared prominently in the commercials for both. Nearly a 10-year comedy veteran, Voth is a past winner of the Miller Lite Comedy Competition of Denver and has worked with everyone from Dave Chappelle to Linda Ronstadt. Called "a name to watch" and "a very funny guy" by the Rocky Mountain News, Voth began his stand-up "career" in the Los Angeles area in the late 1990's. He moved to Colorado in 1998 to hone his craft in a less-saturated and higher-elevated market. In 2002, he moved to San Francisco, becoming a regular at the comedy clubs in the Bay Area, and in 2006 returned to Denver.
Bob "The Polish Madman" Golub - is the quintessential realized American dream. Poor kid from a family of ten, leaves a one-movie theater western Pennsylvania steel mill town and through sheer fortitude and drive becomes a headlining comedian and movie actor. Bob's vast array of experience in the entertainment world has lead him on "The Tonight Show" to a role in Martin Scorsese's 1990 blockbuster film "Goodfellas." In his relentless pursuit of the role he landed, was quoted by Ed Masley of the Pittsburgh Press, describing what led him to his part. "I didn't know any better" Golub says of his first interview with the casting director. "I went in there dressed as Jimmy the Gent with 2,000 cash and a gun. This resulted in being cast as a tough truck driver in the dinner scene. Golub spent six months doing character research, which led him, mistakenly, to John Gotti's lair, which almost got him shot. The Jimmy the Gent role went to another actor by the name of De Niro.
