More Information About Andres Fernandez & Anthony Griffith

Description

With his fresh brand of humor that is universal in its appeal, Andres Fernandez breaks down barriers of what an audience expects from a Latino comedian. While charming the audience with his storytelling ability (which is an amusing cross between hilarity and reality,) Fernandez always keeps the flow of laughs hard and steady. His act has been critically praised as "ethnic humor," never invading poor taste or becoming mean-spirited for the sake of a laugh. "I don't really do much topical stuff; it's all about what I'm feeling," he says. Andres has several television appearances to his credit including NBC's Friday Night, Showtime's Latino Laugh Festival, Comedy Central's Stand-Up Stand-Up, a starring role in the Paramount/UPN pilot American Family and feature roles in soap operas on ABC, CBS and NBC.


ANTHONY GRIFFITH

Anthony Griffith is no stranger to dysfunction. Growing up in an urban environment, raised by a sanctified mother, "She thanks the Lord for E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!", and a minimalist double negative talking father, "You need not even not be doing that...", help lay the foundation for Anthony's hilarious insights about life, liberty and the pursuit of sanity. Whether reminiscing about his younger brother saddled with hand-me-downs, "even his childhood pictures were old pictures of me," or his thoughts on marriage, "after sixteen years, three stitches and one restraining order, I've learned to say I'm sorry,” Griffith presents his unique outlook on life…clean without being conservative. The family names have changed, but the dysfunctions are real.

Anthony has performed at concerts, churches, corporate events and comedy clubs throughout the country for eighteen years. His hilarious and original style coupled with clean without being conservative humor, has catapulted him to multiple appearances on "The Tonight Show," HBO and Comedy Central as well as several television comedy programs. When it comes to comedy, Anthony's mission is simple, "To make you laugh, one joke or story at a time." Anthony has made an impact with his dramatic work also, winning an Emmy for the made for T.V. movie "Our Father".
