Comedians’ bios

Actor, comedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang hosts Tell Me Everything weekdays on SiriusXM Insight #121. He’s also appeared at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival and HBO’s U.S Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Fugelsang has hosted America’s Funniest Home Videos for ABC, and Bill Maher called him “one of my favorite comedians.” His film and TV credits include Price Check, opposite Parker Posey; as well as Becker, Providence, Coyote Ugly, The Girl on the Train and Maggie Black. He also plays two roles in the romantic comedy The Whole Truth, starring Elisabeth Rohm and Eric Roberts.

Laura Bolivar is a stand-up comedian and actress based in New York City. “I was born and raised in Venezuela, but found out since I came to America… that I’m Mexican,” says Bolivar, who you can find on Youtube, Twitter and Instagram.

New Jersey Native John Guild (John G), is a blue-collar comedian with an intelligent bent. Starting his comedy career in New York City at Gotham Comedy Club, The Greenwich Village Comedy Club and others, Guild quickly started playing rooms up in Connecticut and in his native New Jersey, and has been featured in the Comedy Cove and other venues. His material is insightful and has an “everyman” quality that many people can relate to.

Comedian Jim Mendrinos is the common man with uncommon comedy observations. From world politics to the politics of personal relationships, Mendrino creates a symphony of comedy covering a wide spectrum of humanity. He is respected in the industry—so much so, that he was asked to author The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Comedy Writing (Alpha Press, 2004). His comedy has been featured on stand-up stages around the world and he has brought his special brand of funny to Current TV, SiTV, Comedy Central, The Fox News Network, HBO and the BBC.
