 Brian Beaudoin
Coming from small Rhode Island, Brian is probably the only comedian who is bigger than his state.
Brian has developed the ability to read and work with a crowd like
few comics can, from ages 8 to 80 from clean sets to dirty. Brian will
leave any audience wanting more.
Brian uses his life observations as fuel for his comedic fire. From
store greeters, to his family, to himself - nobody is safe. In addition
to his written material, Brian has been known to engage the crowd,
keeping everybody on their toes and in stitches for a non-stop, wild
night of hysterics that will never be duplicated.Brian Beaudoin has been praised on the comedy circuit as “the next
big thing” and they don’t just mean this in reference to his size. The
guy has got talent, and is building an impressive following and resumes
match:- ABC’s Body of Proof
- N.E.S.N’s 1st and Goals
- Winner of the 2011 Jokers Wild Next Biggest Thing Competition
- Voted Rhode Island’s BEST COMIC OF 2009 & 2010 (Providence Phoenix Readers Poll)
- Winner of the 2010 Rhode Island Comic Throwdown
- Finalist in the 2009 Boston Beantown Comedy Riot (placed 3rd overall)
D erek Furtado
On January 7, 1983 Derek Furtado was not only
born, but he was born into an opportunity. The 1980’s were arguably the
Golden Years for stand-up comedy, launching the stars that would go on
to dominate the 90’s. It was comedians such as Chris Rock, Jim Carey,
and Jerry Seinfeld that influenced the humorous persona you see today.
It was his ability to make people laugh, that helped him adapt to the
life of a military brat, eventually settling in Massachusetts where he
began an official career in stand-up comedy.
When Derek first walked on stage, the audience could only say one thing,
“Look at this asshole!” But from the very first joke to the end of his
set, like many audiences since, he won them over. Sporting a movie star
smile and devilish charm, Derek captivates the audience with not only
his comedy, but his interaction with the crowd. With his material
ranging from his sexual escapades to being assaulted by a senior citizen
outside of a bingo parking lot, Derek has a way of appealing to all
audiences.
With stops in such acclaimed clubs as Catch a Rising star, The Comedy
Studio, and the Comedy Connection, he has quickly made his presence
known throughout New England comedy.
