We are turning our improv shows UPSIDE DOWN to share the stage with the time honored tradition of STAND UP comedy! (see what we did there with the “up”?  Good Job Jef!)

Lamar Newmeyer, Ken Kaz and Cory McCloskey all present a CLEAN comedy routine that fits just perfect for JesterZ all-ages shows.

Jef Rawls hosts the frivolity of these hysterically genius gentlemen!

Lamar, Ken and Cory will then showcase their skills at improv.  And if you are a regular at JesterZ, you know that they are already masterful at the art of improvisation!

Cory McCloskey

Cory McCloskey

News Achor, and funny weather man

If you think Cory McCloskey has a familiar face, you’d be correct!  Many Phoenicians have awakened to find his mug staring at them and giving yet another “it’s gonna be hot” weather report on FOX10 Arizona Mornings.

 

He has appeared at the Tempe Improv, Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy, Stand Up Scottsdale, The Comedy Spot and he nearly disabled the internet recently with his hilarious response to a weather map gone bad…  (watch it HERE)

 

Ken Kaz

Ken Kaz

After ten years of performing comedy, Ken has been fortunate enough to work alongside some of the biggest names in the business including Dennis Miller, Paul Rodriguez, and Bob Marley (the comedian not the singer). He has entertained Fortune 500 companies such as Pepsi, CIGNA Healthcare and Abbott Labs. Today he has established himself as one of the most versatile professional comedians working in the business today…however, he is still a subpar accountant!

Lamar Newmeyer

Lamar Newmeyer

Actor, Comedian, Writer - Jester!

NO SMUT HERE! Lamar hails as one of comedy’s cleanest and funniest up-and-coming performers. Lamar’s unique style draws on his variety of talents. He mixes voices, impressions, physical comedy and a quick wit to create an impressive performance.

Lamar is originally from Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s provides him with plenty of comedic material that many audiences relate to. He often revisits the past from a kids point of view. Lamar also finds much to make us laugh in contemporary society. He finds humor in the most seemingly benign situations such as grocery shopping or setting an alarm clock.

Lamar’s diversity is the result of his comic, acting, and stunt work, yes stonework.  He has appeared in feature films as well as many made-for-T.V. movies and performed in comedy clubs in across the country.

Lamar brings over 25 years of stand-up comedy to the stage! Performing across the country from the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles to the Tempe Improv right here in our very own backyard. Lamar has open for such notable comedians as Joan Rivers, Brian Regan, Gallagher, Ken Kaz and many, many others.
