The dangerous comedy of Johnny Phoenix  a.k.a. Deane Laseter

Johnny Phoenix's performance style blends stand up style comedy with the variety arts.  He's been described as a mix of Steve Martin with Harry Houdini.  His eccentric humor and unscripted antics have earned him widespread recognition as one of the most original comic performers today. Weaving comic wit amid impressive feats of escapism, fire artistry and the supernatural has won Johnny Phoenix the title of "Danger Comedian."   Johnny's Fire-Eating Act is infusion of fire artistry and stand-up comedy. He shares comic "Truths" with the audience that touch on everyday life, men and women, teenagers and general rules to live by.

Johnny enjoys laughter, he says it's like jogging for the soul. Anything that makes people laugh without causing him too much pain interests him. 

As a self-proclaimed "Action Hero" of comedy, he has made a living with bullwhips, fire, straitjackets, chains, and more. 

Johnny's version of "Barbie-Q"

"Let's just say I'm a fun guy to go through airport security with.  Oh, yeah. I also like long walks on the beach...chains optional."

Johnny spent his early childhood performing table magic for the bowling league at his hometown alley in Palm Beach County, Florida. Later he was accepted into the Actors' Repertory Theatre Company where he received classical theatre training and toured under the directorship of the Royal Shakespeare Company.  Longing for something different, he joined Ta Fantastika, the Cirque Du Soleil of puppetry and one of the only three professional black light theatre companies in the world.  After a season of trotting the globe with life-sized puppets, he returned home to form The Comedy Squad, a hip improv comedy troupe. The troupe wrote, produced and performed a weekly sketch and improv comedy show at a downtown dive called the Arts Bar, a trendy hang out for local talent. He later acted in television and film having worked as a stand-in and body double for Sylvester Stallone.

Christophe the Insultor is the alter-ego of Christopher Buehlman, a playwright, comedian, actor, writer and poet based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Buehlman, a Tampa native, grew up in St. Pete where he spent his formative years addicted to video games, pizza, Mad Magazine and British comedy. Now he travels around the country talking smack to people and drinking beer. That’s his job. When he has time off, he works in a cubicle.

Buehlman’s hobbies include, but are not limited to, attending theater, primitive archery, martial arts, cooking with lots of garlic, thick red wine, hanging out with other people’s dogs, chess, Axis and Allies, and expensive shoes.  Christopher Buehlman is the author of one novel, numerous short plays, a large body of poetry.  Christophe is a verbal mercenary whose wildly popular one-man comedy show can be found at renaissance festivals around the country.

He enjoys the company of dogs but travels too much to own one responsibly, so he will happily borrow yours when he is in town. "I make my living insulting people for money. If you find any part of my site insulting to you personally, you owe me money. Means for you to pay your debt will be provided on the page where I sell things."
