For Sean one of the up & coming young guns of comedy, there’s nothing better on this earth than making someone laugh. Whether I’m on stage at the Improv, the Comedy Store, the Laugh Factory, or some dive bar out in the middle of nowhere, that’s all I care about. My outlook on everyday life & people brings out the smiles & laughter in people, things we all relate to each and every day. Funny is funny and thats what I am all about. I can’t wait for the day I get to grace the Ed Sullivan Theatre stage and David Letterman calls me over for a quick chat after rocking the house and say's "kid.. you are one funnt cat" stop by the show someday....Oh by the way Sean was a finalist at the 2007 California Comedy Festival...he rocked the house there also....

Teacher by day...comedian by night...Dan brings to the stage funny stuff seen only through the eyes of a teacher, father (of 7) and all around good guy. you will wet yourself listening to Dan talk about kids, marriage, love, and everyday stuff we all know so well.

Right out of college, Dan Viola performed at his first “open mic”. Following an inspiring but brief introduction to the comedy world, life came calling, and he promptly took a 13-year hiatus.

One wife, 7 children and several career paths later, Dan incorporates his myriad life experiences into smart, clean and razor sharp comedy that is as hysterical as it is impressive.

Dan has traveled the eastern U.S. both as a comedian and as host of the comedy game show “The Battle of Wits”, appearing in over 20 states and working with acts such as Jon Stewart, Rob Schneider and Steven Wright . His credits include comedy clubs, colleges, and corporate events, as well as appearances on The Nashville Network and in TV commercials.
Smart, Clean Comedy...and Funny as Hell......

Since his return to stand up comedy in late 2006, Egyptian-American stand up comedian Sherif Hedayat has managed to keep busy.
He was one of 72 comedians selected to compete in Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight in 2007. Also in 2007, he opened for the Axis Of Evil Comedy Tour. Most recently, he returned to Egypt after 14 years to perform in front of thousands on the Arabs Gone Wild Comedy Show.
His humor covers a wide range of topics including family, education, religion, careers, dating, television, stereotypes, racism and growing up in the Middle East. Through his experiences living in America and the Middle East, he bridges the cultural gap in a way that everyone can understand.
Currently, Sherif is working on his own reality show and preparing to release his first comedy DVD titled "Moving Target" this May.

This is a milestone year for Sherif as he his projected to hit one million views on YouTube in the next couple of months. Not bad for living in Dayton, Ohio

Q: What's the first joke you ever wrote?
A: Hmmm....wow....hahaha...Oh ya..... I said "I'm Egyptian, Egypt is in Africa so technically I'm African-American.....I'm African from the waist down." Years later, when my material got better, the owner of my hometown comedy club broke the news to me that it was a hack joke and I needed to drop it. I was very upset...but I got over it.
Q: What is the source of your sense of humor?
A: My life. You get a lot of material when you're a skinny Middle Eastern kid growing up in America.

Q: In school, were you the class clown or the quiet nerd?
A: I was definitely the class clown. The problem was I had a big mouth and learned very quickly that if what I said wasn't funny I was going to get my butt kicked.

Q: Is it better to be feared or loved on your way up the comedy ladder?
A: Definitely loved. This is a tough business so you have to work together to move up the ladder. If you're feared then you are unapproachable and you might miss out on opportunities. The only reason I knew about this competition was because a good comedian friend of mine sent me an email and said I should submit a tape.

Q: Your stardom: a karmic inevitability or old fashioned luck?
A: A little bit of both. I'm not a very religious guy but I believe anything that happens to me will happen for a reason. On the other hand, a little luck never hurts but you can't just sit around waiting for it to happen. You have to work hard and luck seems to follow.
