Fasten your seatbelts!

Felicia Michaels, a.k.a. "Pottymouth", a $100,000 winner on Star Search, has since been seen on just about every comedy show ever aired. She won the "Best Stand Up Comic, Female" award in 1999 from the American Comedy Awards. Sheila Kay could definitely not be described as demure, coquettish, or dainty. She could be described as overbearing, blunt, and bawdy. Carole, known as "The Ivory Girl with an Attitude", has been seen by millions who have enjoyed her stand-up routine in "Crazy Girls" at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. For Adults Only. Explicit language. Must be 18 years of age to purchase.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing that would ever make Alonzo Bodden, winner of NBC's Last Comic Standing, give up comedy. "That's the drug," he says. "When they laugh, it's like I'm a jazz musician, and they hear it, and they get it. It's the power to take the crowd wherever I want them to go. I love it when they laugh, especially when they relate through laughter. It's a beautiful thing. It also means I'm going to get paid, which is nice."

His social commentary avoids the trappings of trendy, hot-button topics.
