Steven Katz

.

Steven is the creator and backbone of The Deadbeat Club. His experience in the advertising industry as a 3D animator and motion graphics designer, along with his background in music, gives the troupe an edge no one else has. He did stand-up comedy for three years before deciding he was tired of doing ads and working for other people. The Deadbeat Club provided a way to marry all the things he loves, and his skills at animation and special effects helps set The Deadbeat Club apart from everyone else on the scene.

John Gard

.

John’s outlandish and character driven style of comedy have provided him a very prolific five year career in stand up. He managed to support himself for years working blue collar jobs while making a name for himself as a freelance writer. When Steven asked him to become head writer of The Deadbeat Club, it was a welcome challenge. Although much of his influence is behind the scenes, he is a vital piece of what is sure to become a very well known crew.

Keith Manning

.

Keith is the type of guy that gets along with everyone. His calm demeanor and perpetual smile work together to draw people and audiences alike close to him. A five year veteran to professional comedy and a history with long form improv have given Keith a smooth, conversational style of performing that leaves any onlooker dying to see more. His wealth of experience in writing and acting in short films has brought The Deadbeat Club to a whole new level of funny.

Frank Garcia

.

Frank brings something to The Deadbeat Club that couldn’t be found in any theater or in most comedy clubs. A raw, alternative, and all around real style of humor have turned him into something of a secret weapon for the group. With only two years of stand-up under his belt, Frank was not yet ready to go full time, but had always been interested in doing sketch comedy. His natural talents were clear to Katz, and he was one of the first people approached about joining the group.

Mark Hurtado

.

Mark has done stand-up on and off for the last three years, but is well-versed in the world of entertainment.  After most of his childhood filmmaking friends moved on to other things, Mark found himself with no outlet for his stellar creative abilities, until being approached to join up with a group of Deadbeats. His love of performing and creating comedy transfer beautifully onto the screen, and his talent is apparent from the moment you meet him.

Theodore M.E. Taylor

.

Theo was the first recruited member of The Deadbeat Club, and one of it’s most talented. A background in theater and a nine year career in stand-up comedy have stripped him of the inhibitions that tend to hinder many in the business. With high energy performance and just all-around silliness, he brings life to every project he’s a part of and is a true natural on camera.
