The December 2009 Tour is proud to bring you three top American comics - each one offering his own unique brand of humor developed during years of performing on television, in film and on the comedy circuit.
Butch Bradley
As a Comedy Central favorite and a regular on the “late late show” with Craig Ferguson, Butch Bradley doesn’t just warm up an audience he sets them on fire!
Raised by a single mom who worked as casino manager in the heart of Atlantic City, Butch was inspired by and exposed to comedy greats like Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, and George Carlin.
Bradley’s likeability leaves an audience feeling like they just hung out with an old friend. His unique outlook on life and humorous translation of everyday fear and anxiety, caught the attention of Courtney Cox and David Arquette which led to a Pilot deal at Fox!
In between touring and performing at comedy festivals like Montreal and Aspen. Butch is a USO regular and has done countless tours overseas. When home in Los Angeles, comedy veteran Butch Bradley can be seen at the Improv, The World Famous Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store!

Mark Schiff
When Mark Schiff was six, his mother took him into Manhattan every weekend for singing and ballet lessons. When Mark returned to school each Monday and showed his fellow Bronx classmates what he had learned, the class would gather around and beat him up. Mark's mother smartened up and enrolled him in karate lessons, but those came to a halt when the karate teacher beat him up.
When Mark was twelve, his parents took him to a nightclub. There, live on stage was Rodney Dangerfield doing his act. At that moment, he knew the path he had to follow.
Mark has headlined in all the major casinos and clubs across the country and has appeared many times on both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with David Letterman. He has had both HBO and Showtime specials, and has been the featured act at the Montreal Comedy Festival.
