Maria Bamford:
What young stand up comedienne/actress was able to marry John Travolta in the feature film Lucky Numbers, teach Jenna Elfman how to play the violin on Dharma and Greg, and make out with Jon Cryer on ABC's The Trouble with Normal? Only Maria Bamford.

Her unique character-based quirky performance style quickly separated her from the pack. Her career took off with notable performances at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and multiple late-night appearances on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live." In addition to having her own Comedy Central Presents half-hour special, Maria has contributed voices for Nickelodeon cartoons including "Charlotte's Web," "Hey Arnold," "CatDog" (in which she's a series regular) and their upcoming animation feature "Barnyard."

In 2003, Maria went international, performing at The Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, The Edinburgh Comedy Festival, The Melbourne Comedy Festival, The Murphy Cat Laughs Festival (in Ireland) and The Brighton Comedy Festival. In 2005, she triumphantly returned to Australia with a month of sold-out performances of her one-woman show, "Plan B." She also completed work on a new Comedy Central series called "The Comedians of Comedy," based on the documentary of the same name. On a more personal note, she can't wait to settle down and get married and/or be surrounded in warm, rising bread dough!

Andy Kindler:
Andy Kindler is known in comedy circles as a trouble maker. Originally from New York, and now complaining from California, he annoys people all over the world.

Andy is a frequent guest and correspondent for "The Late Show with David Letterman." Each summer at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, he delivers the State of the Industry address to a packed ballroom filled with comics and Hollywood industry types. He is infamous for his scathing attacks on the world of entertainment, including the previously taboo practice of making fun of his fellow comedians. Just as the comedy boom of the nineties was imploding, Andy wrote the "Hack's Handbook" for National Lampoon. This "how to" guide satirized and exposed tired comedy formulas.

Andy can currently be seen in a new standup special running on Comedy Central. Other noteworthy credits include the HBO "Young Comedians Special," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "The Daily Show," "Dr. Katz Professional Therapist," "Home Movies" and "The Larry Sanders Show." Andy is often recognized for playing the life affirming character "Andy" on the CBS sitcom, "Everybody Loves Raymond."
