Nema Williams:

Rob Maher:
Rob started his comedy career in Washington D.C. His humor is hot, unadulterated and intensely hilarious. Maher describes his comedy as “a good book, a glass of single malt scotch, a comfortable pillow, a Jimi Hendrix solo, a pay per view prison riot and the sun setting over the ocean. It’s everything you ever wanted or needed.”

You may have seen Maher on MHZ’s Megahertz, a live weekly program that provided viewers with the latest in D.C. entertainment. Maher was the show’s movie critic - each week, in front of a live studio audience, he reviewed movies, peppering the reviews with his special comedic slant. Along with his reviews, Maher interviewed moviegoers as they exited the theater. His spontaneity made these exchanges a “must see.” For Megahertz, Maher also interviewed some of today’s biggest stars, including Chris Rock, Jamie Presley and international indie star Franke Potente.

Currently, Rob can be seen in the award winning flu shot PSA in which he has the starring role. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7FhpRMc2n0 Very few comics ever find their voice, but Rob Maher has found his. It’s loud, clear, insightful, confident and funny. Above all, it’s not to be missed.

D’Lai
D’Lai is one of the hottest new comics in the business. He demonstrates that the best comedy often arises from the most challenging circumstances. He dreamed of playing in the NBA, but after admitting to friends and family that the NBA was a stretch “due to an inability to grow,” D’Lai enlisted in the Army where he earned his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant. Having a quick wit and an innate ability to impersonate drill sergeants, D’Lai would successfully host most of the military talent shows. Though he soon developed a love for the stage, he was not sure if he had what it took to be a professional.

D’Lai moved back to Baton Rouge, LA where he learned the trade of being a black jack dealer in a casino. He enjoyed dealing because the black jack table was a platform to entertain, regardless if the customers were winning or losing. D’Lai soon became known as the “Robin Hood” of Black Jack dealers. “I truly enjoyed giving the house’s money away,” he admits. He found out that his daily chants of: “I’m the people’s dealer, I give to the poor,” while giving away the casino’s money, did not sit well with the pit boss, casino managers and executives. Needless to say, he was let go. But, in a fortuitous turn of events, he was approached by an acquaintance who suggested he try stand up comedy…and a new chapter began.

Tyler Craig
Tyler Craig has been working the comedy circuit full time since appearing on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam in 1997. Since then, he has appeared on Comic View for six seasons, Who’s Got Jokes for two seasons, That Comedy Show, Laffapalooza, First Amendment, Bad Boys of Comedy and One Mic Stand.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Tyler has become a hometown favorite known to conclude his storylines with the cliché: “And the moral of the story is,” followed by a funny but meaningful one liner. His comedic style appeals to individuals from all walks of life, and he has been blessed with the opportunity to perform in the nation’s top comedy clubs and venues. Tyler has performed in 40 states and eight countries, while opening for well known comics such as Sommore, Bruce Bruce, Eddie Griffin, Cedric the Entertainer, Rickey Smiley, Mike Epps, Kat Williams, Sheryl Underwood, Mo'Nique and a host of popular musical artists.

Tyler is very focused on giving back to the community by speaking to high school students about everything from the relevance of an education and entrepreneurship to traveling overseas to perform for our troops. In 2006, he created a fundraiser called Jokes for Coats where he would partner with a local radio station or charitable organization in the market in which he is performing. Fans would bring a coat to his performance and get a discount off the admission.

As for acting, Tyler has starred in five stage plays, three independent films and BET’s new hit sitcom Somebodies as Reverend Hill. Raised in a talent-filled environment, Tyler was taught the values of respecting and honing your craft. Tyler continues to assume this tradition and has been labeled one of the most respected comics amongst his peers.

Tyler has established himself as a connoisseur of all areas his talents reach which includes: hair stylist, modeling instructor, script writer, actor and comedian. With his personable spirit, Tyler is a versatile performer that can adapt to any audience or situation because his sets can be rated PG, PG-13 or R. This quality is finally paying off as promoters, producers, directors, talent agencies and well-established comedians are calling for his services, as his name is becoming a buzzword around Hollywood.
