He enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and has never looked back.

Soon after, Buddy was a regular at all the prominent showcase clubs in New York City honing his craft night after night. The positive response to his work fueled his desire and has kept him been busy on the comedy circuit for the last twelve years. His act is made up of inventive material delivered in a self-assured style. Buddy's stand-up made him a regular on Comedy Central with appearances on ABC and A&E.

ONE SHOW ONLY !!!! ...
A Special Area Appearance By

"DOCTOR DIRTY"
John Valby
(Special Event Show)
What can we say about the legendary "Doctor Dirty"? He is truly one of a kind. Valby's rapport with his audiences and his ability to mix his musical talents with his bawdy variety of "dirty ditties" have made him a staple in clubs and at colleges throughout the nation. When he's not playing and singing, he yells obscenities, the audience yells back, and everyone has a good time. Clad in his trademark white tuxedo, derby and bow tie, he gleefully sings a slew of dirty songs, complete with bathroom, genital and intercourse references. Nothing and no one is sacred around Doctor Dirty and his act is not for the weak of heart or overly sensitive but if you want a night filled with belly laughs and bawdy humor then John Valby is a must see!

Alonzo Bodden

Alonzo Bodden has proven himself to be more than just a stand-up comic. As host of the new Speed Channel show, “101 Cars You Must Drive,” Bodden clearly demonstrates that his comedy is useful when taking on hosting duties. This is not Bodden’s first time on national TV.  After placing as runner-up on Season 2 of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” he came back strong in Season 3 to take the grand prize.  Even before appearing on “Last Comic Standing,” Bodden knew there was nothing, absolutely nothing that would ever make him give up comedy. “That’s the drug,” he says, “when they laugh it’s like I’m a jazz musician and they hear it, and they get it. It’s power to take the crowd wherever I want them to go. I love it when they laugh, especially when they relate through laughter. It’s a beautiful thing. It also means I’m going to get paid, which is nice.” Along with Lewis Black, Doug Stanhope and Sarah Silverman, Playboy Magazine called Bodden “a spawn of Carlin,” referring to the late George Carlin.Bodden didn’t always make his living as a stand up comic. A graduate of Aviation High School, for twelve years he earned a paycheck as a jet mechanic for Lockheed and McDonnell Douglas. While comics around the country were making audiences laugh at airline jokes, he was working on the top secret Stealth Bomber.  It was during a stint as trainer that Bodden discovered his ability to entertain a group of people. “I was teaching airplane mechanics when I realized it was more fun to make them laugh,” he explains, “I was laid off one more time and I never looked back, although it was nice to have a steady paycheck and benefits.”  Bodden enrolled in a comedy class and the rest as they say, is comedy history. In 1997, he appeared at the Montreal Comedy Festval – Just For Laughs in their coveted New Faces Showcase. With that performance, Bodden was given a deal to develop a sitcom with the Greeblatt-Janoralli Studios.After being on “Last Comic Standing” Season 2 and 3, in 2007, Bodden went on to become a series regular judge on Season 5 of the show.   His movie roles include parts in Scary Movie 4, Bringing Down the House and The Girl Next Door.   On television, he has played a bouncer/crook/security guard/cop on “Angel,” “Grounded for Life” and “Profiler.”   He starred in his own “Comedy Central Presents” special in 2005. He is currently a regular field correspondent on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”Bodden describes his material as “cynically good natured in an angry suburban Negro kind of way.” While he strongly believes that all young comics should study Bill Cosby, he freely admits that his mom is the funniest person he knows. When his family and friends attend his shows he loves and appreciates it. One of the great things about Bodden’s career is that he can make you laugh and fix your Learjet.   One day, he hopes to have his own Learjet.
