First gaining national recognition for her 2012 recorded album, Live, Tig is one of America's greatest Comedians. Her landmark comedy album, which was recorded a handful of days after she was diagnosed with breast cancer put Tig on the map as she decided to use the horrific circumstance to form the basis of her set that night, a routine described as "one of the greatest standup performances ever".

He will always be unquestionably linked to his namesake series, but since finishing it in 1998, Jerry Seinfeld has kept extremely busy. In 2002 he starred as the subject of "Comedian", a behind-the-scenes documentary film that followed him both on and off-stage travelling on his national stand-up tour, which reflected on his post-Seinfeld life - including fatherhood. He's continued to work of various TV projects ever since, and regularly hits the road on tour to show the newcomers how it's done.

Whose Live Anyway (originally called A Night of Improv) first appeared in 1999 when it sold out two shows in under three hours to very enthusiastic crowds in Vancouver. Following its initial success, Whose Line Executive Producer and star Ryan Stiles expanded the number of appearances of the show to include many major cities in the Western USA and Canada where it has remained a constant sell-out.

She's a Mexican Native-American actress, comedienne, and former NFL cheerleader (yes, really!). Perhaps it's this varied career path that makes it so easy for Anjelah Johnson to slip into different comedy roles - the most notable being disgruntled fast food worker Bon Qui Qui. Comedy meets music in the able hands of the MadTV alumnus Johnson.
