A Drop Dead Funny Group

ddc 065.jpg

Eric, Linda, Sal, April, Tony, Brian, Stacey & Jim - we don't just do shows together, but we actually enjoy hanging out together. . . and making each other laugh. . . . and making fun of each other. . . .
Who's got a better group of idiots than Drop Dead Comedy!!!

April Keough

You might know her as Eulele (aka Stinky!), Jackie Black, Heather Lockjaw, or Candy. She's a writer, a director, the only cast member who proudly still owns a Tiger Beat magazine from 1979, and the only one with more children than she can count. She loves her dysfunctional Drop Dead Comedy family, even though they still don't have a good nickname for her. And it's purely coincidental that her characters have to kiss someone in every show. . . . .

Brian McGuinness

Brian - the Jolly Green Giant, a rare cross breed of Kermit the frog and Ray Romano. He has been a recent and hilarious addition to DDC, and no one gets a cast lost in New Jersey like he does!

Dave Rasmussen (David Anthony)

Ah, Dave. . . . we missed you!!! Dave's been an outstanding member of DDC for a number of years, but recently needed to relocate to Louisiana for a while. We speak often about the roles he played, and about how he amazed us with his magic! What a talent! And we're thrilled to announce that HE'S FINALLY BACK!!!!!!! We've got lots in store for him to make up for lost time. From Buddy to Rusty and lots of stuff in between.... we're looking forward to keeping him busy!

Eric Skjeveland

Eric - our Chocolate Chip! Eric's been a cast member for almost 2 years now. . . and DDC has never been the same! He started off somewhat reserved - and then exploded all over us. So, now we make him prance around in a flashdance outfit as Versace, dress up in drag as the slutty redneck Clarabelle, and in a diaper as Suzy's brother Junior. He'll play any character, for any show, and is hilarious at them all. He keeps the cast in stitches as his humor has absolutely NO boundaries, nor do his topics of conversation. Holy Crap! We think the world of Danielle for putting up with him!

Greg Keough

Greg never planned on performing for DDC, but he's married to April, so.... We needed a fill-in, we knew he was really funny, and since he wasn't coaching football that night, he reluctantly agreed. Wouldn't you know, he was absolutely hilarious as Juggy, and an equally funny Paulie (he's a big fat fattie, fatty boombalatty!) and Buddy Boyd. We LOVE that he'll perform with us when we need him to, makes us laugh whether or not he's performing, and doesn't complain that everyone in the cast kisses his wife probably more than he does.

James "Jester Jim" Maurer

Jester Jim - Drop Dead Comedy's Scooby Snack! Jim's been performing with DDC for almost a year now, but it feels like he's been with us much longer. He fits right in with us, and is able to improv with the best of them. And when he can't remember his lines, he just might make you a balloon animal to distract you. . . or maybe he'll juggle for you - he's really quite talented in that regard! (In fact, you can hire him through us to do his juggling show!

Kenny Skjeveland

Kenny - the man who sweats more than the entirety of DDC combined! Kenny's been helping us out with shows every once in a while for a few years now, which is especially impressive since he lives up in Westchester!

Kevin Austin

What's that smell???

Linda Bartolomeo

Linda Bart for short - because her last name is too damned long. Linda's been doing dinner theatre for years with Tony and April, and is a character in her own right. Absolutely hilarious! Linda has played many funny and crazy characters for Drop Dead Comedy (most recently Wilma and Grandma Rosie) and the crazier the character is, the more willing she is to play it. But more important than the talent she brings, Linda brings pocket calendars to DDC!

Lisa Walker

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa - Drop Dead Comedy's resident go to girl! "Lisa, we need you to fill in tomorrow night for a role you've never played before". Lisa will make you believe she's been playing the part for years. She makes US believe she's been playing these parts for years - now that's talent! (although the rest of us aren't really that bright. . . . ) Lisa's true love is drama, but we're lucky she'll let her hair down and give our audiences her comedic side every once in a while. If you're lucky, she might even throw in a couple of cartwheels and splits for you!

Lorenzo Bono

Lorenzo Bono

Our hunk-a hunk-a burnin' love! Lorenzo "Smith" Bono as we affectionately call him, for he is the latest victim of our Stacey. He is not a performer in our shows, but he is our "player" of music - our soundman. He sure knows how to turn those knobs! An excellent drummer/musician, and our best audience member ever because he laughs at everything we say. We LOVE that about him! Lorenzo handling the sound is just as important as performing in a show, so we'd like to thank him for that.... but if you piss off our girl, Lorenzo, we'll knock you out!

Sal Catura

Salbo! He's our Juggy, our Johnny 'the Belly' Morelli, our drunken Paulie, our little baby Junior. . . . basically any part where we can show off his unparalleled talent for burping! You. . . you . . . you gotta gift, you! Between his hilarious commentaries, his tats, his fabulous singing voice, and his infectious laughter, we've been so very lucky to have him perform with us. Tony and Tina's loss is our gain. He's our funny man, our Juggy man, our dog lovin' man, TDub's brother man, our "U" man - he's da man!

Stacey Smith

100_0994.JPG

Ah to be 21 again! Fresh out of the ball pit, Stacey brings an infectious youthful energy to DDC. Just watch her play Suzy and you'll agree! What did we do before she joined our cast?
