Party Central Comedians and comics

Lars Callou

Lars began his comedy career on Sunday May 18, 2003. It was an auspicious beginning at a pub named Fargo's in Edmonton. For the first year the comedy world was exactly the same and Lars spent it wondering what auspicious meant.

Then in June of 2004 he was named the Funniest New Comedian in Edmonton when he won the Comedy Idol competition. First prize was a trip to Toronto where he competed again and was named the Funniest New Comedian in Alberta. Since then he has been featured on City TV, CBC Radio and on his own weekly comedy radio show on CJSR 88.5 FM in Edmonton which he hosts Wednesdays at midnight.

He has opened for the likes of Mitch Fatel, Kevin Pollack and Aries Spears. Has shared the stage with Russell Peters and Mike MacDonald (he's good at sharing). Ed magazine named Lars, "One of the top ten comedians to watch...if you're already at a show...and he's on it."

Dallas

His name is Dallas but lives in Edmonton. You can call him "The New and Improved Mr. Magoo". He's legally blind in his late 20's and he has a unique blend of material related to the visually impaired/blind and our interactions with sighted people.

He has a corporate routine allowing him to "play" any crowd. It's a clean act but is better suited for people from 17 and up in age. He believes that laughter is the best medicine to cure a lot of things and he would love to entertain you!

Robin Roberts ...

If you want to know what's funny about cramps, parents with emotional problems or working as a birthday party clown, just listen to Robin. She'll tell you everything! With lyrics that read like pages from her diary, or a reporter's dispatch from the frontlines of life, Robin's unflinchingly honest and unsentimental songs are funny because they don't try to be - she tells the hideous truth. And, for Robin, the hideous truth is funnier when you sing it!

Roberts also delivers stinging political commentary, with songs like Pretty (about Princess Diana and Mother Teresa) and Tertosterone.

"Her timing is dead-on, with an oddly endearing New York edge that sharpens her live act."
– Pasadena Weekly

"Robin shamelessly exploits her personal life in song, just to get attention."
– Metro L.A.

She created and starred in Cinemascoop, a pilot for Showtime. She was a writer/voice performer for the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 radio show, creating the internationally syndicated character, Patty the Depressed Clown. She also wrote comedy for the CBS Morning Circus radio comedy service, and Premier Radio.

Roberts' self-produced stand-up show, which ran for eight years in Los Angeles, garnered four Comedy Picks of the Week from the L.A. Weekly, and two "Best Bets" from the L.A. Times.

Robin graduated from the Warner Bros. Sitcom Writers Program. She spent a month on the island of Malta teaching stand-up comedy to the Maltese. The result was the first stand-up comedy show in Malta's 5,000-year history, which she hosted.
