Jason Wood is carving out a niche for himself in the comedy world with his effervescent personality , hilarious comedy, and spine-tinglingly good singing. You may have seen him on BBC1’s primetime show ‘29 Minutes Of Fame’ and before then on BBC1’s first series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ as one of the eight dancefloor hopefuls. He also showed his presenting and acting skills in BBC1’s hidden camera show, ‘Spy TV’.
Jason is currently developing his new live show for 2006 Edinburgh Festival (to be previewed early in 2006) after several
I work a lot with people who have reached significant turning points in their lives. Some are at the point of making changes in their career to lead a more sustainable life, others have reached critical tolerance for old patterns and ways of living they no longer wish to engage, and others still have simply decided they need new goals, projects and perspectives. The common theme I’ve notice lately with both those I work with as well as others is seeing life as a tapestry.

RONN VIGH brings his unique brand of comedy to clubs, colleges, and airport lavatories all over.
His brash attitude and acerbic wit have had him compared to a young Joan Rivers (SF Weekly)- well, if she was male, gay, and didnt start shooting Botox by the pound.
He has been a semi finialist and featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing II and IV and is no stranger to the comedy and
Here is a short fun read, giving the essentials on the life of Alexander the Great, the famous Macedonian general who conquered the world in ancient times. Alvear and Schecter crack lots of jokes, and in between are careful to tell us all the things that most straight histories leave out, namely, the gay stuff. Books and movies about Alexander might mention his drinking buddy Hephaestion, but they will rarely tell you they were
Margaret Cho is, quite simply, a living icon of the stand-up comedy world. More than a comedian and entertainer, the San Francisco native is a strong-voiced activist for womens’ rights and the rights of gays and lesbians. And now the power she wields will only grow as her new VH1 reality show, The Cho Show premieres this week.

“Don’t mess with me, folks,” he is apt to say in his husky Virginia drawl. “I can open a vein and take out the whole front row.” Or he might pick up a stein off a nearby table and ask ever-so-innocently, “Excuse me, Goober, can I have a sip of your beer?”
Even the helplessly drunk and the terminally jaded spring instantly to attention. The 42-year-old Moore, you see, is gay. Nearly eight years ago, he tested positive for HIV. Since then he has watched
It’s been 11 years since Junot Díaz’s critically acclaimed story collection, Drown, landed on bookshelves and from page one of his debut novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, any worries of a sophomore jinx disappear. The titular Oscar is a 300-pound-plus “lovesick ghetto nerd” with zero game (except for Dungeons & Dragons) who cranks out pages of fantasy fiction with the hopes of becoming a Dominican J.R.R. Tolkien. The book is also the story of a multi-generational family curse that courses through the book, leaving troubles and tragedy in its wake. This was the most dynamic, entertaining, and achingly heartfelt novel I’ve read in a long
