Brian Atkinson

The nicest voice in comedy. Brian Atkinson is a comedian who played a serial killer on TV while doing voices for PBS Kids. This guy-next-door with a radio voice talks about his career in broadcasting, voiceover, and being adopted twice, with twisted observations of everyday life.

Chris Young

Chris Young is able to take real life experiences and turn them into laughs that maintain a clean but funny appearance. Chris’s luck (or lacks there of) have lead him to look at the world through a different set of glasses. Having once been called a pessimist by a fellow classmate "he replied simply, that he is not a pessimist but an optimist, as he believes things could not get any worse!”
Chris is a frequent performer at comedy clubs, colleges and casino’s as well as corporate shows around the country. He has appeared at the Gilda's Laughfest in Grand Rapids,Mi the Laughing Skull Festival and the Canton Comedy Festival. His DryBar Special has millions of views. He was the winner of the TV20 Detroit "That's Funny" Comedy Contest on My Network, as well as a finalist in Dave Coulier's "Clean Guys of Comedy/Unbleepable Contest." Chris is also a favorite on radio stations all across the country. He has shared the stage with some of his favorite comics, including Bob and Tom's Mike Armstrong, Larry Reeb, Heywood Banks, and Dave Coulier.

Saunders Point Brewing

We love beer, we love to make it, and we love to drink it. Saunders Point Brewing started with a group of friends looking to take their appreciation of craft beer to the next level, by enrolling in Brewing 101 at the local community college. Extra study sessions were conducted at a local sports bar, and the conversation turned into a vision of someday opening a brewery. The more “study sessions” conducted, the more the momentum grew and the collective gleam in our eye of what we could achieve became brighter.

Stan Freberg's United States of America

Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America Volume One: The Early Years is a 1961 American comedy album with music and lyrics written by Stan Freberg and sketches written by Freberg and Ken Sullett, released as Capitol W/SW-1573 in 1961. Freberg satirizes episodes of the history of the United States from 1492 until the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783. The album combined dialogue and song in a musical theater format. Billy May orchestrated and conducted the music, with the Jud Conlon Singers providing background vocals. Our presentation as a staged radio play omits the musical numbers but maintains the biting satire. It's worth noting that a casual listener may perceive stereotypes that haven't aged well. The satirical roast of the white man and historical authority figures survives and flourishes 65 years later. There's no punching down to oppressed people groups, only punching up at the pedestal standers like Christopher Columbus, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. It's a hilarious romp through the early years of American history even if you're not a history buff.
