Description

"I love the fact that he assumes his audience has a brain!" -Ben Stein Tim Northern is a comedian. Not only that he is one of our favorite comedians! Tim has been a friend of Zoolarious many years having headlined the show numerous times as well as recording his album "Tim Northern Does Animals" on the show. He is a regular performer on the national comedy club circuit, having performed at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and appearing on CBS's Star Search where he advanced to the finals. "I love that fact that he assumes his audience has a brain!" -Ben Stein. And it's exactly the response he's hoping for each and every time he takes the stage. "That's what I'm striving for. I provide you with two-thirds of the joke, and you provide the other third. It's like 'do-it-yourself comedy." That do-it-yourself approach is paying off for the Nashville native, whose influences are a veritable Who's Who of comic genius. "George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steven Wright - I like all of 'em. Once Tim takes control of the mike, he relies on much the same type of material that those classic comedians used to land in the national spotlight - plain and simple, Tim Northern is a word man. "Love words. Love 'em! Tim says. His enthusiasm for words and language results in what can aptly be described as humor for the thinking person, a unique combination of intellect and fun-filled observation. And yet, it's mainstream humor that everyone understands. $15 at the door only Brad Stewart began his comedy career shortly after moving to Los Angeles from Nebraska in 1995 and winning 1st place in comedy contest. He beat out hundreds of comedians to win $500. Brad used it to register his car in California. Since that time Brad has performed at many different clubs and theaters all over the country to rave reviews. From The Nokia Theater in Los Angeles to the Hilton Casino in Atlantic City, Brad has entertained many diverse audiences with his high energy, observational style of humor.  In early 2010 Brad had the honor of becoming a favorite opening act for comedy legend Joan Rivers. Joan said Brad is "so talented and a joy to work with" Brad has also opened for The Temptations, Jon Lovitz, Keith Sweat, Rob Schneider, The O'Jays, Barry Manilow, and 80's rockers Loverboy.  In 2012 Brad was picked by TV Icon Marlo Thomas as a "Comedian to Watch" for the Huffington Post.  Brad's comedy is a mix of his observations about life and his love/hate relationship with pop culture. Music is a big love of Brad's and a lot of his comedy comes from his frustrations with the state of popular music which should be relatable to anyone with ears.
