Uproar Entertainment Releases the First Stand-Up Comedy CD by Nick Cobb

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 12, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is excited to announce the release of Nick Cobb's first comedy CD, "Too Broke For Therapy" to be released January 15, 2016.

Touching on everything from the world's small daily annoyances to grander feelings about one's ever changing position in life, Cobb lulls his audience into his routine like a friend telling a casual story over beer and card games; only friendlier, funnier and with no inhibitions. "Too Broke For Therapy" was recorded at The Comedy Underground in Seattle, Wash. and is Cobb's first recording for Uproar Entertainment.

Originally from Memphis, Tenn., Cobb's obsession over meaningless nonsense set the stage for him to embark on a whirlwind comedy career. While studying Psychology at Indiana University, Cobb took on a job at the aptly named comedy club, "The Looney Bin." However it wasn't until he won his first stand-up competition at a random Beale Street bar that he was bitten by the comedy bug and jumped at the chance to make the move to New York to chase his dream.

While in New York, Cobb was featured on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham," VH1's "Morning Buzz," MTV's "FN MTV," AXS's "Gotham Comedy Live," and AMC's "Date Night." His highly original material was featured in a montage as a semi-finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing."

Now living in Los Angeles, Cobb had his late night debut on "The Late Late Show" with Craig Ferguson, recently co-starred in an episode of "Inside Amy Schumer," starred in Funny or Die's three-part series "Disney Couple's Therapy" and won the March Madness Competition at the Hollywood Improv. He also played the lead in a comedic web series for ESPN.com called "Team Players," and has been featured in commercials for Intel, Carmax, Pepsi Max, as well as an e*Trade spot during halftime of the Super Bowl.

Influenced by fellow comedians Brian Regan, Jessica Kirson, Bill Burr, and Maria Bamford, Cobb continues to make strides in his career. When not performing stand-up, he can be found brooding over that one guy in the crowd who was texting during his act.

Imprisoned Actor Steve Comisar Joins the Ranks of Hollywood’s Social Media Superstars

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Steve Comisar is an actor who has appeared in numerous films, TV shows, and commercials. He is also a felon completing the last year of a 15 year federal prison sentence for fraud. The unique combination of felon and actor is apparently very appealing to the public. Just ask Comisar's half a million Twitter followers or the over one million fans that have viewed his YouTube videos.

Comisar's publicist, Laura Levine, says, "Steve has a lot more social media fans than some of the much bigger stars I represent. If this is any indication of how he is going to do as an actor after he is released, Steve will be a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. All he needs is a little help getting started."

While in prison, Comisar has not been shy in personally contacting some very famous people and asking them for a little career assistance upon release. This has been covered by the national news media in various articles.

Comisar said, "I've recently asked some A-list actors, directors, and producers to help me by giving me roles in their movies after I'm released next year. It's still too soon to tell what's going to happen but I'm going to think positive."

Comisar's manager, Victor Kruglov, said, "If any powerful actor or director says that Steve can be in their movie, Steve will be in their movie. That's all Steve needs to nail this. I think a lot of stars are going to step-up and help him."

Comisar's attorney, Jeremy Gordon, adds, "A very famous actor recently told me, 'I put my actor friends in my films all the time. I could easily do the same for Steve. I'm always trying to help the underdog.'"

Retired ICM talent agent, Barry Freed, said, "The public loves the Steve Comisar story. If his social media popularity is a barometer of his future success, he's going to book a lot of major acting jobs. When Wesley Snipes got out of prison last year, he quickly landed an NBC series. Everyone loves a good comeback."

Comisar, 53, grew up in Beverly Hills, California, with the original "Brat Pack" and has been acting since a very young age. He will be released from prison next year and will return to Beverly Hills to reunite with his family and friends.

Uproar Entertainment Announces New Comedy CD by D’Militant

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 21, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of Darryl Littleton's newest comedy CD, "Too Raw for Mainstream." For Darryl Littleton pka D'Militant, no subject is out of bounds, no topic too sensitive, no commentary too raw. With his crackling wit, Littleton holds nothing back, unflinchingly delivering slicing and incisive social and political commentary. "Too Raw for Mainstream" was recorded at The Ice House in Pasadena, Calif. and is Littleton's second recording for Uproar Entertainment.

Darryl Littleton pka D'Militant, is an accomplished comedy historian, publisher, author, columnist, stand-up comedian, radio personality, producer and actor. Having mentored and written for over 100 comedians, Littleton is a respected comedic veteran. He began his career writing sketches for "The Tom Joyner Morning Show" on CBS Radio. Shortly thereafter, he became a regular at the world famous Comedy Store and adopted the stage name, "D'Militant" for his bold, insightful and aggressive stand-up.

His talent landed him a job as D. L. Hughley's exclusive writer during Hughley's tenure as host of BET's "Comic View." Darryl was ultimately promoted to writer/producer for the "Comic View" where he penned material for Cedric the Entertainer, Sommore, and Don "DC" Curry. Littleton also traveled with Katt Williams as his writer and opener on the road at the height of Williams' fame and earned the distinction of being the first African-American appointed to the advisory board of the Comedy Hall of Fame.

Littleton's comedic talents extend to on-camera work, including features in the films, "All Lies on Me" (2007) and "Diamond Dawgs" (2009). He landed a guest starring role on Robert Townsend's WB sitcom, "The Parent Hood" and a recurring role on Townsend's variety show "Townsend Television" for Fox. Littleton also appeared on HBO's "Def Comedy Jam," Comedy Central's "Make Me Laugh," Martin Lawrence's "1st Amendment," Telemundo's "Loco Comedy Jam," "Comic's Unleashed," and ABC's "America's Funniest People," where he was the Grand Prize Winner. In 2002 he released his critically acclaimed comedy CD, "Am I Lying?!" and, in 2006, won the prestigious Bay Area Black Comedy Competition on its 20th Anniversary. Immediately following the release of his first book, "Black Comedians on Black Comedy", chronicling the history of African-American comedy, Littleton became a commentator for NPR.

This first published work gained critical acclaim, continues to be part of the curriculum at USC, is a fixture in libraries throughout the country, and was adapted by Robert Townsend as a full-length documentary entitled, "Why We Laugh," which made its premier at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009 and was broadcast on Showtime in 2010. Says D.L. Hughley: "This book is as funny as Littleton is...It makes me proud to be a comic." Littleton went on to publish 3 more books in 14 months: "Pimp Down: The Rise & Fall of Katt Williams" (2011), "Forefathers" (2012), the story of the American Revolution told from a black perspective, and "Comediennes: Laugh Be a Lady" (2012) which he co-wrote with his wife, comedienne Tuezdae Littleton.

Littleton has toured Europe and Asia as a stand-up comedian, performed for the U.S. military, toured the U.S. as a public speaker, and co-hosted the radio program, "Tuezdae's with D'Militant" (2013) with his wife. In 2014 Littleton launched his fifth book, "How to Be Funny: The Essential Comedy Handbook"; a tutorial on the art of laughter. That same year Littleton produced "Black & Blue: The Laff Records Collection", a compilation of the greatest party record routines from the genre's best artists: Redd Foxx, LaWanda Page, Slappy White, Marsha Warfield and many more. Littleton is showing no signs of slowing down, and his latest CD, "Too Raw for Mainstream" is set to further solidify his place in comedic history.

Uproar Entertainment Releases First Stand-Up Comedy CD by Kat Radley

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 15, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is excited to announce the debut comedy CD from the dynamic and talented KAT RADLEY. Hailing from Montclair, Virginia, Kat Radley began her stand-up comedian career as a contestant in Rooftop Comedy's National College Comedy Competition. After being voted into the Final Four by the public, Radley landed a coveted spot in the Aspen Comedy Festival, representing her alma mater UVA.

Prior to her public debut, Radley unwittingly honed her craft during her upbringing in a large Irish Catholic family, each sibling claiming to be funnier than the next.

Beyond her siblings, much of Radley's passion and early inspiration for comedy comes from a combination of her fondness and admiration for the "Spartan Cheerleaders" of "Saturday Night Live," and Conan O'Brien's quick infectious wit on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." From Radley's quick-fire anecdotes to her hilarious pop culture references, everything is a target and nothing is off limits. Kat has been called the "female Dennis Miller" and her edginess compared to the likes of Amy Schumer.

Since launching her career, Radley made her stand-up television debut on FOX's "Laughs," and appeared in many notable festivals including the Out of Bounds, Laughing Skull, and Women in Comedy Festivals. She was also a finalist in the Magners Comedy Festival, and the World Series of Comedy where she took home the Friars Club Audience Award and earned the distinction of "Comic to Watch" by Time Out New York. In addition to appearing at festivals, Radley performs improv and sketch at the Upright Citizens Brigade and IOWest Comedy Theaters in Los Angeles, and hosts her own YouTube talk show, "A Chat With Kat."

"Very funny!" - Bob Saget.
"A brilliant writer." - Howard Stern.

Jailed Actor Steve Comisar Asks President Obama for an Early Release

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 1, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE -- Steve Comisar is an actor who has appeared in dozens of movies, television shows, and commercials. He is also serving a federal prison sentence for fraud.

Through the President's clemency power, a sentence can be commuted and a prisoner can be released with the stroke of a pen. In July, Obama commuted the sentences of 48 federal prisoners. Comisar's petition should already be on the President's desk, ready for his next round of releases.

Comisar's attorney, Jeremy Gordon says: "Steve deserves an early release just as much, if not more, than the other offenders Obama is releasing. He has already served over 85 percent of his sentence for a non-violent crime. All of the other inmates being released are in prison for selling crack cocaine. The President plans to grant a lot more early releases before his term ends. I'm confident Steve will be one of them."

Comisar says, "I'm hoping the President will give me the same consideration that he gave to the other people he is releasing early. There are a lot of big stars who served time in prison that can really help me when I get out. With a little help from the President and Hollywood's celebrity felons, I really think I can make it. Everyone loves a good comeback."

Comisar's publicist, Nanci Ryder says, "Steve is also launching a non-profit charity that will help imprisoned actors. He's calling it, 'Stars Behind Bars.' Soon other actors in trouble with the law can get the help they need. We are planning a website, industry fundraisers, and monthly events hosted by Hollywood A-listers. This all begins when Steve is released."

Comisar, now 53, grew up in Beverly Hills with the original "Brat Pack" and has been acting since a very young age. He currently commands an enormous global, social media fan base which is growing each day. Without clemency from the President, Comisar will be released from prison in early 2017.

Convicted Actor Steve Comisar asks Celebrity A-List Felons for a Little Help

LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Steve Comisar is an actor who was convicted of fraud and sent to federal prison. The media and Wikipedia have branded him a con man. Some of Hollywood's major players have served time and can relate to his situation.

Comisar has recently asked Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Wahlberg to step-up and help him rebuild his acting career upon release by giving him acting jobs in their upcoming projects. Some of Hollywood's A-list felons include Mark Wahlberg (assault), Robert Downey Jr. (drugs), Tim Allen (drugs), Wesley Snipes (tax evasion), and Danny Trejo (murder).

Comisar says, "I hung out with Robert Downey Jr. when we were kids. He's not the type of person who would turn down a request for help." Comisar also says, "Helping those in need is what Mark Wahlberg does best. He helps wounded veterans and homeless kids."

Comisar's publicist Nanci Ryder says, "After prison, Steve plans to pursue acting full time while also starting a non-profit group that helps incarcerated actors. He's calling it 'Stars Behind Bars.'"

Comisar grew up in Beverly Hills with the original "Brat Pack" and has been acting since a very young age. Comisar has authored one book and has appeared as an actor in dozens of movies, televisions shows, and commercials. Comisar currently commands an enormous, global, social media fan base which is growing each day. Comisar will be released from prison in 2017.

Uproar Entertainment Announces New Comedy CD by Travis Simmons

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of Travis Simmons' newest comedy CD, "The Truth Hurts." Simmons' brilliant observations, amazing impressions, and astute political commentary are as compelling and authentic as they are hilarious. "The Truth Hurts" was recorded at The Comedy Underground in Seattle, Wash. and is Simmons' first recording for Uproar Entertainment.

Travis Simmons has one very simple goal, and that is "to change the world for the better, one expressed thought at a time." The Pacific Northwest phenom has played rooms big and small since launching his comedic career at a Comedy Underground open mic night in 1997. The night before, he had gone to an open mic night just to watch, saw a few people perform and thought to himself, "Hey, I can do that!" He went home, wrote a few jokes and went back the next night. His first words on stage were "What if Darth Vader was a pimp?" Since then, Simmons has firmly established himself as a local favorite and broadened his influence to the international stage, igniting fits of laughter in audiences everywhere he goes.

"The Big Funny - that's a great name!" said Dave Chappelle.

Born in Milwaukee, Wis., Simmons is more than just your average comedian. A student of the Civil Rights Movement and outspoken human rights activist, Simmons makes it his business to be the voice of the people, for the people, addressing everything from racism to homophobia to women's rights, both on and off the stage. In addition to his live comedy shows, Simmons' Funny 4 Food charity shows have raised over $50,000 for food banks in Western Washington and the shows have now expanded to Oregon.

His Christmas events "Jokes for Little Folks" have generated 7,000 toys for kids in Seattle and Tacoma. Simmons has over 3 million video plays on YouTube and he is in the regular rotation on Raw Dog Comedy and Jamie Foxx's Foxxhole on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. He is an impressionist, the winner of the "I Sound More like Bill Cosby than Bill Cosby" contest, 2nd runner-up in "The 2009 Seattle International Comedy Competition," and 1st runner up at the 2013 Big Sky Comedy Competition.

When Simmons isn't changing the world with his stand-up and philanthropic efforts, he finds other, equally enviable tasks to occupy his time. He is also the creator of FOCUS ON THE FUNNY, a stand-up comedy workshop, and in post-production on his first documentary, "Weed is Safer than Alcohol," filmed at 2014's Hempfest in Seattle, Wash. He runs a daily marathon podcast where he digs deep with other comedians on anti-racist and progressive ideas using his oratory skills to "...tell the truth to society, whether society wants to hear it or not." He makes people laugh by being honest, telling the truth, and sprinkling in an impression or two. He is one of the good guys, dedicated to comedy for the sake of people.

Simmons is highly regarded, and widely applauded for both his entertainment value and his devotion to many worthy causes. He is a man of action, saying, "When bigots get loud, the good people have to get louder. Bigotry unchecked grows violent. The people with the gift of gab - orators, musicians, painters, documentarians - all artists have a responsibility to be loud about what we notice or we're traitors to ourselves and the human race." This big man with veteran chops and a booming voice that he uses to tame even the wildest road crowds is truly a force to be reckoned with in the comedy world.

Uproar Entertainment Announces New Comedy CD by Brett Riley

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 11, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of Brett Riley's first comedy CD, "I'm An Idiot." Riley's signature impersonations, witty observations, and colorful stories incite bouts of laughter from the start. "I'm An Idiot" was recorded at The Comedy Underground in Seattle, Wash. and is Riley's first recording for Uproar Entertainment.

Brett Riley is not a fish out of water; he's his own portable aquarium and the contents of this aquarium are colorful and plentiful. An accomplished comedian and vocalist with an endless grab bag of stories, observations, opinions, and impersonations, Riley is a crowd favorite in every kind of comedy and entertainment venue.

Believing he was born to entertain, Riley accepted a scholarship to Oklahoma City University for Music Theatre. He quickly realized that he was indeed meant to perform, just not music theatre. After sneaking into comedy clubs with fake IDs, getting booked as the house emcee, and winning Wichita King of Comedy 2004, it became obvious that he needed to hit the road and take it to the next level. That meant jumping right into the big time - L.A.! Riley didn't waste any time proving himself there, claiming the Funniest Comic in the City 2007 title within 6 months of his arrival in the big city, thus leading to his appearance on Judge Joe Brown to collect the prize money.

After a car accident almost claimed his life in September 2008, Riley quickly bounced back to claim the title at the Roc Da Mic Comedy Competition Compton, Calif. 2009. Most recently named "Best of Fest" at the San Luis Obispo, Calif. Comedy Festival, Riley's performance was also featured on Sirius/XM Raw Dog Radio 2013 and on Hulu under CandorTV.

A farm boy from Wichita, Kansas with the heart of a soul singer, Riley is one of the most original fresh faces to come to light in the comedy world. With the swagger of a rock front man and the likeability of a college drinking buddy, this walking "series of unfortunate events" takes the audience on a personal tour of the Brett Riley view on everything from pop-culture, relationships, family, and advice on how to mess with people, and couples it with the ability to sing well enough to make your mom forget the other stuff that comes out of his mouth.

"Brett Riley is a classic example of 'don't judge a book by its cover.' You think you know him until the first words come out of his mouth. Multi-talented, intelligent and drop dead funny - he's a force to be reckoned with in the comedy world," says David Drozen, President Uproar Entertainment.

"Forget the formula," says Brett Riley.
