ABOUT THE COMEDIANS

Russ Meneve
There's a new name on the New York comedy scene that has people talking -- and laughing! Russ Meneve is on the fast track to becoming one of comedy's next big breakout stars. The Hawthorne, New Jersey native has been performing comedy in and around New York City for the past eight years, where he has hones his skills to an edge as sharp as his material. Nowhere was this more evident than on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show," where Russ recently made his debut to rave reviews from host Jay Leno and an appreciative studio audience that he had rolling in the aisles

Lynne Koplitz
Lynne is one of America's most sought after female comics - regularly headlining at major comedy clubs and colleges nationally. Lynne has had her own 1/2 hour comedy special Comedy Central Presents, and co-hosted the syndicated TV talk show Life & Style. She has also performed at HBO's U.S. Comedy Arts Festival and Live at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Lynne was the host of the popular TV dating show Change of Heart and the cooking show How To Boil Water on The Food Network. Among her other many television appearances are CBS's Late Night with Craig Ferguson, NBC's Later and Shop and Style, Comedy Central's Premium Blend and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, and The Greatest Joke Ever Told for The History Channel.

Danny Naturman
Dan's charming, self-deprecating, sharp-tongued style has since made him a hit with comedy club audiences across the country. His joke telling and impeccable ability to work a crowd has a throwback quality of its own. With his quick-witted set-ups, Naturman speeds right into the hard-hitting punch lines he's know for- if ever there were a Groucho Marx of this century, Naturman would be the closest thing. Recorded at Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis, Dan's CD, "Get Off My Property" was widely praised for its ability to twist usually humorless topics into amusing ideas that anyone can recognize. Punchline Magazine has called Dan's act a success because of its UNIVERSAL APPEAL.

Host Kenny Ortega
Kenny Ortega is a native of Spanish Harlem, A stand up comedian and although he has been a comedian for under 6 years he has grown up fast by working along side some of the best Latino comedians out there today. Kenny like any other kid always found himself getting into mischief, which now reflects his comedic style of story telling on stage. Kenny enjoys helping those starting out in the comedy field by organizing shows to make the transition on to the comedy club stage a lot easier. He worked in venues like "The Dave Chappelle show" the second season and Metro TV. Kenny takes great pleasure in putting a laugh into everyone's day.

Michelle Buteau
Fresh from The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, HBO’s Aspen Comedy Festival and Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival, Michelle Buteau can also be seen on this season's "Last Comic Standing", Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" and Paramount Comedy Network's "The World Stands Up" show. She was a favorite at this year's South Beach Comedy Festival and HGTV's "25 Worst Mistakes" series can't get enough of this hot talent. Michelle has also shared more then her opinions on VH1's "Best Week Ever" & "Black to the Future", MTV's "Walk of Shame", and the Oxygen Network's "Kiss & Tell" series. And check out the latest issue of Glamour magazine where Michelle dispenses " some hilarious " dating do's and don'ts.

Mike Lawrence
Mike Lawrence is a true comedian's comedian, being the son of a former comedian, Mrs. Alice Lawrence (now Colin), but considering the places he's played, it's obvious that nepotism has in no way helped Mr. Lawrence's career. Mr. Lawrence considers himself an acerbic, witty comic who tackles those icky social topics that no one else likes to touch. Or so he says. He also says he's attractive, so honestly, it's hard to believe anything that he comes up with.

Wil Sylvince
Wil Sylvince is one of the most explosive comedians performing around the world today. His comedic performances on BET's COMIC VIEW, HBO'S DEF COMEDY JAM, and SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO all garnered standing ovations by the audiences, a feat rarely seen accomplished by many performers. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Wil has honed his act in New York's top comedy clubs - the Comedy Cellar, Comic Strip Live, Caroline's on Broadway, Stand-Up NY and the Gotham Comedy Club. His unique perspective on political and social issues, with a twist of his West Indian Hatian culture makes Wil a comedian in high demand. He has been handpicked by comedian heavyweights Damon Wayans, D.L. Hughley, Chris Tucker, Kat Williams and Bill Bellamy to tour the country.

Ted Alexandro
Time Out NY magazine named Ted Alexandro one of the top comedians working today. Time magazine featured Ted in the article "Comedy In The Age of Obama". Ted has performed on David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, The View and two half-hour specials on Comedy Central. Ted has performed internationally on "The World Stands Up" in London, "The Big Night of Comedy Festival" in Amsterdam and three times at Montreal's "Just for Laughs Comedy Festival". He has also performed in Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait and Hong Kong. Recently Ted has been touring with Louis CK as his opening act. Louis has called Ted "Probably my favorite comedian working today".

Digital Music NY February 9th Networking And Discussion Meetup

Website: http://dmnyfeb.eventbrite.com/

So how is 2010 looking for digital music? Pretty good to great based on early reports. People are buying more music, services like Pandora are profitable and now available through TV (thank you, Roku) and in your car (watch out Sirius) and the technology and models that will allow artists, producers and labels to do more and make more are hitting the market.

At our next meetup we'll take a look at which of these developments you need to know about today with an overview of announcements made at the Consumer Electronics Expo and Midem (Eric de Fontenay of Musicdish will have just returned and go over what he saw there). Of course, this is also a great chance to meet, network with and catch up with colleagues in the music, marketing and related media industries.

The Meetup will be in the private room at Gonzalez Y Gonzalez. We are starting networking at 6 (Happy Hour ends at 7) with the speakers and discussions at 7.
