Savitt is a 17 year comedy veteran who began in his hometown of New York City, where he also starred in productions of Shakespeare. After developing his “Hey Tommy” character, he was featured on Bob & Tom and Blue Collar Radio and performed around the world for the troops. He’s won the prestigious Seattle Comedy Competition and best comedian at the Boston Comedy Festival, Ventura Comedy Festival, and the LA Comedy Awards. His new stage persona, Tommy Lama, has proved a hit at comedy clubs and festivals internationally and landed residencies at The Tropicana and The Stratosphere in Las Vegas.
Auggie Smith has spent the last two decades on the road. At the age of 19, he moved from Billings, Montana to Portland, Oregon to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. He’s won several competitions and has been seen on Evening At the Improv, Live at Gotham and Last Comic Standing, and heard on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show.
