May 6-10

Christine Stedman

With John Burton

Christine can best be described as one funny mother! She has a husband, a twenty-something son who lives at home, a divorced daughter and three grand-kids. This gives her a full portfolio of material to draw from.

A lot of people often ask why she began a comedy career so late in life. Well, it's not a coincidence that she started immediately after her daughter began having babies. Chris does not like to baby-sit! Sure, traveling around the country telling jokes to drunks in smoky nightclubs was not be the most practical way to get out of babysitting, but for Chris it was definitely worth a try. (It was either that, or go to truck-driving school and she hates the way she looks in flannel shirts!)

So far, this desperate attempt at distancing herself from family obligations has worked out quite nicely. She's come a long way from her early years in comedy.

She currently headlines in some of the top clubs in the country and she has become a favorite from Las Vegas to Atlantic City.

In 2006, she was chosen to compete in Nick at Nite's "Search for the Funniest Mom in America". She appeared in six episodes and made it all the way to the finale where it came down to only 5 finalists. Ok, she didn't win---but just ask anyone who has seen her perform and they will tell you that she is definately one funny mother!

Tommy Blaze

With Kevin Weiland

A veteran of the comedy stage, Tommy Blaze has appeared in every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and doghouse in the country.

His comedy is opinionated, thoughtful, controversial and admittedly one sided. If you are married, single, divorced, parents, gay or lesbian, confused, young, desperate, misguided, lost or easily offended then you need Tommy Blaze to straighten you out.

In addition to comedy clubs, private corporate events, casinos, cruise ships and colleges, Tommy was series regular on the nightly comedy series The Newz (predecessor to Mad TV), appeared in the hit television show Friends, and has starred in the movies Rumpelstiltskin and Viewer Discretion Advised.

Every Tuesday night the area's top new and undiscovered talent takes the stage to begin the entertainment for that night at the Funny Stop.

The quarterfinal rounds for the first contest of the year will be held on April 29 and May 6.

Audience memembers should not miss their chance to see the best of the best as they battle for the Funny Stop's title of Ohio's Best Amateur Comedian

Don't be confused.

Although our name has changed, the Funny Stop Comedy Club is still Northeast Ohio's premiere comedy showplace.

The same staff and ownership are here to serve you.

A devastating fire, the resulting relocation of the club just two short blocks north of our old location, and a name change will never stop us from giving you the best value for your entertainment dollar, just like we have for the past two decades.
