The host of Pompano Stand-up Live!, Carl Payne grew up on TV as “Cockroach” on The Cosby Show and gained acclaim as “Cole” on the classic Fox sitcom, Martin. Still acting in television and film, Carl is now on a national comedy tour.

Headliner Tony Tone is known as the man of many voices. Tony has entertained audiences all over the world and has performed on Comic View, Def Comedy Jam, Laffapalooza and a host of other comedy productions.
