Janie Heck

Janie won a Big Easy Award in 2014 (The Lady of The Lake, SPAMALOT) and since then, has managed to accomplish little else. Considering her bountiful supply of wit, talent, and charm, Janie understands if you, like her friends and family, are disappointed. She would like to take this opportunity to apologize to her loved ones for crumbling under the pressure of her own potential. In all seriousness, she thanks her family for their genes and money.

Bob Murrell

Bob is a person who does funny things. He could brag about those times he was nominated for a Big Easy Award or listed as a Best of New Orleans comedian, but that was years ago and completely worthless now. Instead, he will brag about how thankful he is for the cast & crew, his amazing wife, his beautiful daughter, and the friends & family that trekked across a bridge to come see this performance. You should buy my comedy album - lolbob.com.
