The IMPROV Comedy Line up


OCTOBER 15th – 18th
JEREMY HOTZ FROM COMEDY CENTRAL & THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
 
jeremy hotzOne of the most unique stand-up comics working today, Canadian born Jeremy Hotz has quickly become a proven international success. With stellar performances at the Montreal Comedy Festival: Just For Laughs and his sold out Canadian theater tour "What A Miserable Tour This Is....”, as well as performances all over the United States, Europe and Australia, Jeremy continues to grab audiences with his completely original and confused, yet very astute, observational comedy. Recognition came quick, as American studios and networks showed interest and Jeremy was offered his first of many major development deals. Another highlight for Jeremy was his debut appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, followed by five appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jeremy has also appeared on Comedy Central with his own half hour special, and was on MTV’s Half Hour Comedy Hour.   Jeremy filmed a one hour TV special "What A Miserable Show This Is..." for CTV, and his DVD “What a Miserable  DVD This Is...”  is a hit.  Beyond his stand-up comic merits, Jeremy is also a talented actor who will be appearing in the fourth season of HBO Canada’s Call Me Fitz, and has appeared in the feature films My Favorite Martian (with Elizabeth Hurley) and Speed 2 (with Sandra Bullock and Jason Patric). He starred in the four-part mini-series Married Life on Comedy Central and was nominated for a Gemini Award for the CBC’s "OH CANA-DUH".  He was the recipient of a Gemini Award for “Best Performance in a Comedy Show or Series” for his work in the celebrated series "The Newsroom" on the CBC and PBS in America.  Jeremy was also a staff writer and performer on the critically acclaimed "The Jon Stewart Show" (Paramount), and received a Gemini nomination for “Best Writing in Comedy or Variety Show or Series” for his half hour comedy special, "Whatever Happened to Jeremy Hotz?"

As you can imagine, Tommy delivers any time he is interviewed; his current material is a whole new level of funny. As you know, Tommy has earned a reputation as an extraordinary performer. Best known as one of the stars of the groundbreaking television shows, In Living Color -- celebrating its 25th anniversary -- as well as the force behind Turner Network's #1 animated series, Black Dynamite, Tommy's visibility has allowed him to become a household name known for his innovative talent.  Known for hysterical roles in features ranging from starring opposite Jim Carrey in "Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls" to Halle Berry in "Strictly Business" and in Spike Lee's "Bamboozled," Tommy is about to head into another film, "Frat Pack," a 'bromance'-filled comedy shooting in Toronto this summer.  He is currently in development on "Deconstructing Sammy," the quintessential biography of Sammy Davis Jr. which Davidson secured the rights for last year and should go into production late this year.
