The Root of Comedy with Grant Lyon February 8, 2011

GRANT LYON
San Francisco Weekly describes Grant Lyon as "a hilariously sharp observer, not one of those tired white-guy bellyachers." He is a practitioner of sophisticated immaturity - his comedy blends intelligent wit with pure silliness all while maintaining a relaxed surfer-dude personality. A history major in college, his infatuation with this nation's past and present stand out throughout his show.

Grant was a featured performer at the Asheville Comedy Festival, winner of the Colorado Mile High Comedy Competition, finished 2nd in the Ice House Comedy Competition, appeared in the prestigious San Francisco Comedy Competition, and has opened for names like Bobby Lee and Robin Williams. He is a member of the sketch comedy group Four In The Back and is an accomplished actor. His comedy is clever and honest, a unique combination of social commentary and ridiculous observations.

As if that weren't enough, these 4 comedy savants have Grant's back:

TRENTON DAVIS
Trenton has performed at numerous night clubs in the Improv, Riddles, Comedy Shrine, and the Edge Comedy in downtown Chicago. Trenton won the talent competition for Norwegian Cruise Lines a few years back and performing at the famous Laugh Factory in Hollywood, CA.

JEFF REITMAN
Jeff's act focuses on his nerd habits and about viewing the world through his gamer goggles. He founded Cross Platform Comedy, a comedy show targeted gamer and nerd culture, has been profiled by WoW.com, and featured in a half page spread of the SF Weekly.

TRAVIS IRVINE
Travis has worked in Charles Schumer's press office, was a Bexley, Ohio Mayoral candidate, subject of Documentary "American Mayor". Director of "Coons! Night of the Bandits of the Night", and still has time to be hilarious.
