Vickie Shaw

Vickie Shaw looks like the woman next door. She’s All-American with blond hair, lipstick and polished nails. Once she opens her mouth, you'll know she was born and raised in Texas and you'll never stop laughing.  Vickie Shaw is a seasoned comedian hilariously addressing the triumphs and trials of being a woman, a mother and gay in America. Vickie's own life provides the best material for her show: as an out, lesbian mother, she has successfully raised two sons, (one of whom is married with a brand new baby daughter, Vickie's first grand child), has a teenage daughter still living at home, is married to her 'husbian', Sgt. Patch, and on top of all that she is a recovering S.O.B. (Southern Baptist).  Her credits include Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, “Laughing Matters…..More.”, an All Out Films production, and LOGO TV.

Dana Eagle

Dana Eagle appeared in an ABC Pilot with Jason Alexander and was the host of Comcast On Demand's UNConventional.  She has been seen on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comedy Central and Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed. Eagle is most proud of the unique experience performing throughout Iraqi bases for the troops.  Eagle was showcased in HBO’s US Comedy Arts Festival in her solo show, Stones From Glass Houses followed by the second in the series, Mood Disorders: A Light-Hearted Romp Through Crippling Depression, featured at the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival. She recently completed a pilot for the E! Entertainment Network, and has been seen in a series of memorable commercials beside Jay Mohr and football legend, Boomer Esiahson.  Comedy Clubs around the country are abuzz about Eagle, who features for some of today’s top headliners including D.L. Hughley, Roseanne Barr, and Bill Maher. Eagle earned the title of “Best New Comedian” at the Bud Light Ladies of Laughter Competition. Her humor allows audience members to embrace their feelings of inadequacy and celebrate their own “Geekdom”.
