The 5th Annual (and FINAL!!!) George Bush Going Away Party:
An Evening of Political Comedy

(October 22 - 25, 2008)

Performer Bios

Featuring:

Aundre the Wonderwoman has set her sights on political humor from the beginning. A clever and engaging satirist, she uses the stage as her bully pulpit, taking on everything from presidential politics to animal lovers. She took First Place at the 1999 Russian River Resort Comedy Competition, was a semi-finalist in the 2005 San Francisco International Comedy Competition, and is the recipient of the 2008 Stand Up For Justice Award from Death Penalty Focus, a California-based national group, for her work against the death penalty. (She is an anti-death penalty lawyer by day.) Aundre is a comedy voice not to be missed, especially during this historic political election season.

ROSS TURNER often goes out of his way to mention that he has made numerous guest appearances on QVC's Craftsman Workshop. Between hawking drills and routers, Ross performs across the US and has shared the stage with such comedy greats as Robin Williams, Dana Carvey and Robert Schimmel. Ross can be seen tearing it up at corporate events for Fortune 500 companies like Comcast, Cisco Systems, and 7-Eleven. His training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York and the San Francisco Comedy College have prepared him to recently accept a lead role in the comedy film “Everything Must Go” due in theaters in the far-flung future world of 2009. Ross is a vegetarian and as a matter of conscience, will not autograph mutton or pork. He is a veteran of past George Bush Going Away Parties. www.rossrossross.com
