Eugene Mirman is a comedian, writer, and film maker based in New York City (where, according to commercials, salsa is terrible). As a child, he emigrated from Russia and experienced a John Cusack 80's high school movie life. Eugene attended Hampshire College in Western Massachusetts, where he designed his own Comedy major.

Eugene has appeared on several TV shows, including Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Comedy Central's Premium Blend and Jump Cuts, VH1, Third Watch, Cartoon Network's Home Movies and more. He also played a spokes-potato on Food Network and other oddities on various programs.

Eugene has appeared at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, Bumbershoot, and South By Southwest. His weekly standup-variety show Invite Them Up, which he co-produces with Bobby Tisdale and Holly Schlesinger, recently won a Nightlife Award from an organization called The Nightlife Awards. No one knows exactly who they are, but Tony Danza was there and so was one of the Golden Girls. Eugene is also a frequent guest at Tinkle, a show hosted by Todd Barry, David Cross, and Jon Benjamin.

Often touring the country, Eugene occasionally opens for the comedy troupe Stella (former members of The State), various bands, or with others. Eugene has opened for The Shins and toured with Modest Mouse and Yo La Tengo. Check out Eugene's latest CD. Includes special bonus DVD. Available on Amazon and Suicide Squeeze Records. Now available on iTunes. The album was voted one of the Best Albums of 2004 by both The Onion and Time Out New York.

Bobby Tisdale was born in Atlanta Georgia back in the seventies and then moved to North Wilkesboro, North Carolina at the age of five and continued living in parts of NC up until he moved to New York City in 1995. He has two older sisters and two older parents that are very supportive of his comedy career.

Bobby loves living in NYC because he is the co-producer (along with Eugene Mirman) and full-time host of a very popular and successful weekly comedy show called Invite Them Up. Bobby and Eugene just finished recording a double CD/DVD of Invite Them Up on Comedy Central Records and they plan on taking their show on the road in the fall.

Besides that, Mr. Tisdale does lots of stand-up, short videos and sketch around the city and is also about to kick-start a national college comedy tour with collegehumor.com that will bring happy faces to thousands and thousands of college kids around this great country of ours. Oh, and he's had a few VERY POWERFUL small parts in movies such as Junebug, The Baxter (Michael Showalter, IFC Films), and a couple other features that you've never heard of that you just need to trust me are good.

If you want to see something impressive you should check out his commercial work, it's outta sight! What else. Bobby's a Libra and has red hair, he loves to party and enjoys being around children for long stretches of time.
