In his own words:Dreams****************************************************** Maybe a Night awaits me Where I can drink in peace In some old-fashioned Town, And die the more content: Seeing that I'm patient! If my ills were put on hold, If I ever get some gold, Will I choose to go North Or to the Land of the Vine?... - Ah! Dreaming's a waste of time Since it's pure disaster! And if again I'd be The olden traveler, The green inn will never Open its doors to mewww.myspace.comcurtcarlson |

Sean Crespo
| ean Crespo, or El Crespo as he is known in Latin American countries, was born and raised in Framingham, Massachusetts just outside of Boston, where he began performing standup comedy at the age of 16. At the same time he honed his writing skills as the creator of a successful humor website, The Sweaty Pit, and as a writer for the satirical newspaper The Weekly Week. After a brief stint at Emerson College, Sean moved to London, where he received a degree from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Which, by the way, is in London and is considered by many to be better than Julliard, Yale and Al Pacino combined. After LAMDA, Sean made his way to Los Angeles where an amusing eviction and ensuing poverty led to a temporary case of homelessness. This in turn led to a lucrative career as a medical research test subject. Eventually, Sean began working as a writer for the new National Lampoon, and has since written for various publications including Cracked and Jest. He also co-wrote and acted in the award-winning short film series I Am Drugs. He's done a lot of other stuff too, but this is all the space we're giving the egomaniac. (appeared in Johnny I) |
Erin Cyr
| One
of our personal favorites, here's the comedienne in her own words:
I bite my nails. I hate computers and I still have Atari. I watch the Brady Bunch. Most of my friends are alchoholics. They get real shitfaced and do stupid things, like make me call out of work and spend all my money at the bars. As glamorous as it sounds, I'll probably end up waiting tables for the rest of my life until I end up alone in a trailer surrounded by empty PBR cans. Once upon a time my mom married my ex-boyfriend's uncle. Now the bastard's my stepcousin. They're all living happily ever after, hauling off their never-ending bottle of Allens' coffee brandy while hanging out at the Target stores and shooting at the signs. My brother's friends kidknapped a sheep once and put it in his apartment while he was out of town. Classic. It'd be neat to have a pet owl that would eat lollipops. I hate bees. They suck. Even the ones that are half-dead on the windowsill, twitching and buzzing. Fuck them. Rent-a-cops are funny. Sea monkeys, tumble weeds, mexican jumping beans and lawn gnomes are all pretty nifty as well. I love mustard. I eat it plain. Pull 'n peel twizzlers are good, too. Ed buys 'em for me. I suck with directions. I get lost on my way home all the time because I'm retarded. Keg parties are a nice way to spend an evening. Being shitfaced and on welfare is kind of appealing to me. It's all about lowering my standards til they're met. I have a pet turtle. He's not very loud, but the drunk people that play with him are. I hate shopping- especially for clothes. I'd rather get a Coca Cola enema. Sometimes I'll even get on stage and talk about what a fascinating life I lead.www.myspace.comerincyr |
Paul Drinan
| Paul is a terrific actor, both dramatic and comic. We're excited to have him grace our stage with his besainted presence, according to a small Druid cult in Rumford. Paul is a regular on stages and tv screens...you may remember him as "Eddie Haskell" on "Leave It to Beaver." Or not. |
Carol Hartsell
| Carol is a co-founder, writer and Webmaster of Drink at Work.com, the lead photographer for the 20D Blog, as well as the producer of The Drink at Work Show. In 2005, she produced the New York International Fringe Festival showcase of Francesco Marciuliano's This Isn't Working. She goes to more comedy shows than might be considered wholesome, has metal rods in her back and gets a little fighty when she drinks. She's also from Alabama and will kill you quick as look at you. She studied painting in college but currently works a day job in graphic design. All her former professors consider her a sellout. (appeared in Johnny I) |
Dennis Hunt
| What can one say that hasn't already been said? A lot. Dennis, a formidable improv artist, also is a skilled actor, marital artist and mime. He's known for his charity work with eels. |
Francesco Marciuliano
| A scion of the wealth Drinkatwork.com family, Ces was once called "a sexy bastard" by his own grandmother, Francesco Marciuliano has always felt ill at ease around other people. Shy to the point of reclusive, awkward to the point of ridicule, inarticulate to the point of, well, something, Francesco finds solace only through his writing, illustrating and almost daily public speeches. In his spare time he sings remarkably off-key, dances as if he doesn't have even a passing familiarity with his own motor skills and writes the nationally syndicated comic strip "Sally Forth" (check out his online chat with the Washington Post here). Francesco is currently available for viewing 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. Monday through Friday. He is closed on weekends and national holidays. Please call ahead for special group, party and corporate event rates. |
Rebecca Minnick
| A songbird of the first water, Rebecca has sung on many of our radio shows, and has appeared with the famed Jerks of Grass. She also debuts in the Ces Marciuliano sketch, "Unavailable Dad." She is a recent electee to public office as a Green, and does some very cool work with kids. |
Tony Moschetto
| Comedian, poet, man about the beach, Tony Moschetto is our co-host and good friend. He's worked at colleges and clubs all the way up and down the east coast, tv, and now, Johnny. Boston-based, Tony is worth the trip. His comedy covers everything from pork to pioneers, from gangs to losers. Some call him the best comedian in Boston. (appeared in Johnny I) |
Corey Pandolph
|
A dog in a human costume, Corey makes his second stage appearance since the last show. Oh, and he writes, directs and produces, all with a keen fashion sense. Here's his official bio: The CPandolph1971™ automoton was assembled in a small factory in the remote Adirondack Mountains. After being scrapped for a “better looking and less awkward model”, “Corey” as he was called, was discovered years later by two forestry students trying to get “high in the mountains”. They booted up Corey’s 100MB brain and set his personality chip to “disgruntled creative type”. What followed can only be described as a journey of self- discovery, sprinkled with several failed attempts at self-destruction. Corey now draws the syndicated comic strip Barkeater Lake for United Media and writes for Mad Magazine and www.thebollard.com. He currently resides in Maine with his paralyzing debt, hot wife Kristen and two dogs, Norman and Lulu. The CPandolph1971™ will cease operation at 12 midnight on July 4th, 2458. |
Troy Pennell
|
Troy is a boy who is rarely coy. However, a comedian, that he is. In his own words: I have a dark sense of humor and I like making people laugh. I hope to be a famous comedian some day but with my brand of humor I'm not getting on the Tonight Show anytime soon. So I have to settle for little bits of people at a time. I also like puppies. Women are what I am into. Most people confuse me for gay; it just happend that I got the "loves vagina" chromosone. The rest of me though--well, let's just say I can hold my own in a mall. Other then that I am full of hate.www.myspace.comtroypennell |
Dennis St. Pierre

Stacy Ann Strang
|
Stacy is a natural comedic actress who also happens to kill on the
drama stage as well. A senior theater major at USM, Stacy has already
starred in two feature films and many staged productions, including
some with this gang. She made liberal appearances in our tv pilot,
"The Commercial Show." It's always a treat to work with this
creative, high-energy talent. We just wish she didn't demand a trailer
and craft service during readthroughs.
