By 1985, Pete George had already made a name for himself as one of Cleveland’s top lead guitarists when he was invited to join the original alternative rock band Separate Checks. At the height of the MTV era, the band released two original songs and a music video—while also spearheading the petition drive that helped bring the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to Cleveland.

​

At the same time, Pete’s quick wit and onstage banter led to calls for him to try stand-up comedy. He took the challenge—and in his first three comedy competitions, his unique blend of musicianship and humor won him the top spot over more seasoned comedians.

​

By the 1990s, Pete expanded into acting, performing in theater and numerous TV commercials. His first film role was in The Shawshank Redemption, where he worked alongside Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. Soon after, he hit the road full-time as a comedian, developing his signature mix of stand-up and comedy music, which earned him a devoted national following. In 2000, Pete relocated to Los Angeles.

​

Now, with more than 10,000 shows under his belt, Pete has headlined the Tropicana and Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, the House of Blues, and the Hard Rock Casino in Cleveland. He’s entertained at countless comedy clubs, corporate events, colleges, and military shows nationwide, and even hosted the Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp at Hollywood’s legendary Whisky a Go Go.

​

Currently, Pete can be seen as the lead in an international Audi commercial, guest-starring in Blood Relatives and The Incredible Life of Darrell (Warner Bros.), and yes… starring as a drag queen in the film A Social Distance.

Nat Baimel is a comedian, upbeat problem solver, awkward philosopher, and optimistic nihilist with a knack for always looking on the bright side. His dark, smart, well-crafted material often tackles the most serious of subjects in a silly manner that will make you laugh as much as it will make you think.

​

You've likely seen one of Nat's jokes online, as they've garnered tens of millions of views and been shared hundreds of thousands of times across MTV.com, BuzzFeed, the Chive, Cheezburger, College Humor, 'Laughs' on Fox, Rolling Stone, and the front page of Reddit dozens of times. His albums 'Be Nice!' and 'Nihilist Pep Talk' debuted atop the Amazon and iTunes Comedy Charts, and play regularly on XM Radio. Nat has also been heard on Gabriel Iglesias' Stand-Up Revolution on XM Radio, and performed on 'Inside Joke with Asif Ali' on Amazon Prime. You're still reading? Good for you! As a writer, Natty Ice (his business name) was a semi-finalist in the highly respected NBC Writers On The Verge as well as the Nickelodeon Writer's Program, where he placed in the top ten out of thousands of applicants. He also contributes jokes weekly to the popular YouTube series 'America Uncovered' and 'China Uncensored.'

​

Nat has performed at the prestigious Laughing Skull, Laughing Devil, and Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festivals, San Francisco International Comedy Competition, and headlined internationally at the 7th annual Hong Kong Comedy Festival. He lives in Los Angeles and tours the nation constantly. Life is good. He can't complain, but he's Jewish, so he probably will.
