THE CREW’S RAP SHEETS
Joe “Joey Hack” Leibovich a/k/a
The Godfather of Mid-South Comedy
Joe is the founder and director of The Wiseguys, and executive producer of The Wiseguys Sketch Show. A veteran of the Mid-South comedy
scene, Joe has performed stand-up and improvisational comedy at ComedyTennessee in Memphis, and regularly performed at the Loony Bin when it was open in Memphis, and Bonkerz Comedy Club when it was operating at Bally’s Casino in Tunica, Ms.
Joe was the winner of the 2008 Memphis Comedy Search competition, and was a finalist in the 2006 and 2007 funniest person in Memphis contests, and has appeared in the films “The Rainmaker” and “The Client”. He has also appeared in industrial videos.
Warren “G-Man” Grantham
Warren once shot a man for snoring while riding a moose.
Austin “Two-Thirds” King
Austin started his career in crime at an early age until he was finally apprehended in what has been dubbed “the great Sqworm heist of 2000.” Since that time he has been keeping his nose clean thanks to comedy and a Panasonic 3000 nose hair trimmer. Being one of the more modest people in the world, Austin takes little credit in his immense comedic abilities. Instead, Austin gives credit to eating a big bowl of Grape Nuts every morning alongside a serving of Yo-Plus Yoplait yogurt with Activia. Austin also expects to become a millionaire some day through embedded marketing.
Mike “The Doc” Degnan
“The Doc” began his comedy career soon after his medical career ended. He learned 2 things from his time in medicine, 1) putting your own initials after your name does not make you a qualified physician and 2) how to tickle a funnybone (unfortunately, learning this lesson led to a few malpractice suits). Mike is a 3 time Funniest Person in Memphis Finalist, proving that contrary to popular opinion the 3rd time isn’t necessarily the charm. He looks forward to now entertaining crowds with the Wiseguys for many reasons, including being able to ride to shows in the H.O.V. lane. Besides comedy Mike is also a founding member of S.L.A.P. Productions, a Memphis based video production company that has produced live videos for Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Behold…The Arctopus, and several other modern metal bands that you’ve never heard of. Mike would like to give thanks to his family, anyone who read this bio up to this point, and Cthulhu for not devouring him yet.
