of performers, chances are you'd find the name BRIAN
COPELAND somewhere near the top. The multitalented comedian, writer,
television host, talk radio host and commentator has basked in the glow of both
public and critical acclaim for nearly a decade.

standup comedy material won him San Francisco's prestigious Cabaret Gold Award
as well as top prize in the Monterey Laugh Off. His unique ability to hilariously
cut to the heart of some of our most serious social and political problems has
earned him spots as the opening act for such diverse artists as Ray Charles,
Natalie Cole, Dionne Warwick, Donna Summer, Peabo Bryson, Al Jarreau, Ringo
Starr, Manhattan Transfer, Steve Allen, Dana Carvey, Kevin Pollack, Rick Springfield,
Lionel Richie, Lou Rawls, George Benson, Patti La bell, Etta James, Gregory
