PATTON OSWALT
A comedian, actor, and writer, Patton Oswalt continues to find success in all areas of entertainment. From his award-winning comedy specials to his many memorable film roles and guest appearances on his favorite TV shows (including “Parks and Recreation,” for which he received a TV Critics Choice Award), Oswalt continues to choose work that inspires him and entertains audiences.
He recently starred as ‘Principal Durbin’ on the NBC comedy ”A.P. Bio,” produced by Seth Meyers, Mike O’Brien, and Lorne Michaels, and voices the titular character on the hit SYFY series “Happy!”. This summer, Oswalt served as the lead voice of ‘Max the dog’ in THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2.
He provided the voice for ‘Remy’, the rat, in Pixar’s Oscar-winning RATATOUILLE, and has voiced characters on TV shows such as “Archer,” “BoJack Horseman,” “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” and “Word Girl.” He is also the narrator on ABC’s hit comedy “The Goldbergs.”
Oswalt has appeared in many films, including THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, with Ben Stiller, Steven Soderbergh’s THE INFORMANT, alongside Seth Rogen in OBSERVE AND REPORT, in Paul Thomas Anderson’s MAGNOLIA, ZOOLANDER, STARSKY AND HUTCH, and RENO 911!: MIAMI, among many others.
He was in the film adaptation of Dave Eggers’ novel THE CIRCLE, alongside Tom Hanks and Emma Watson, and played one of the “white voices” in the widely-praised indie film SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, the directorial debut of Boots Riley.
Oswalt recently received Grammy and Emmy nominations for his Netflix special “Annihilation,” which received critical acclaim as he addresses his own devastating loss and dealing with the unexplainable, while making it all painfully funny. In 2016, he won the Emmy for 'Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special’ for his sixth comedy special “Talking for Clapping” (Netflix) and a Grammy Award in 2017 for his comedy album of the same name.
Oswalt was nominated for a Critics Choice Award for his performance in Jason Reitman’s film YOUNG ADULT, starring opposite Charlize Theron. In 2009, he also received critical acclaim for his performance in Robert Siegel’s BIG FAN; the film was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award and Oswalt earned a Gotham Award nomination for his performance.
On TV, Oswalt had a starring role on Adult Swim’s “The Heart, She Holler,” was a series regular on Showtime’s “United States of Tara” and the Netflix revival of “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” recurred on the SyFy series “Caprica,” and has had many guest roles on “Veep,” “Lady Dynamite,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Justified,” “Two and a Half Men,” “Portlandia,” “Bored to Death,” “Flight of the Conchords,” The Sarah Silverman Program,” “Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show,” and “Seinfeld,” among others. He is also very well known for playing ‘Spence’ on “The King of Queens” for nine seasons. He was also a regular contributor to “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” “Real Time with Bill Maher,” and Lewis Black’s “Root of All Evil.”
As a comedian, Oswalt has shot seven TV specials and released six critically acclaimed albums, including his Grammy-winning Talking for Clapping (which the one-hour special of the same name earned him an Emmy) and Grammy-nominated Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time that debuted in 2014. Finest Hour also received a Grammy nomination for “Best Comedy Album,” as well as a Showtime one-hour special of the same name. In 2009, Patton received his first Grammy nomination for his album My Weakness Is Strong (Warner Brothers Records).
Oswalt starred in The Comedians of Comedy, which was shot as an independent feature film, a TV series and a long running tour. He tours regularly and extensively, headlining both in the United States, Canada, and the UK. Oswalt also has a regular, bi-monthly show at the new Largo at the Coronet Theater in Los Angeles.
Both of his published books Zombie Spaceship Wasteland (2011) and Silver Screen Fiend (2015) are New York Times Best Sellers. Last year, Oswalt helped publish his late wife Michelle McNamara’s true-crime book I’ll Be Gone in the Dark (which debuted No. 1 on the New York Times Best Seller List in March 2018) and he’ll executive produce the upcoming HBO docuseries based on the book about the Golden State Killer.

THE EL-SALOMONS
The El-Salomons are a married Jewish-Palestinian lesbian comedy couple who after years of performing solo decided to add yet another challenge to their relationship: A duo act! Now they tell jokes about one another, in front each other. A sacrifice they make for the fans.
Jess and Eman mix jokes and stories inspired by the politics of their relationship with observational humor about love in general. Every couple has a “Jess” and an “Eman” even the straight ones. If you’re wondering which one you are, the “Jess” is the one who is right. She’s also the one who wrote this bio.
Jess Salomon (The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon) and Eman El-Husseini (Just for Laughs) met and fell in love at a comedy club in Montreal a decade ago. After just one year of performing together this hilarious couple recorded a comedy special at the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival, now available in Canada on Crave TV. They are also the hosts of the top-rated podcast, “Comedians vs The News” on the BBC World Service available Friday nights, wherever you get your pods!
They have traveled everywhere from San Francisco Sketch Fest, to the Boston Women in Comedy Festival, to the Arctic even! Newsmakers and media darlings they’ve been featured on NowThis and PBS News Hour, and in the Washington Post.
