Last Ham Standing Comedy Group
A sketch comedy group, Last Ham Standing, features line skits at various theatres throughout the U.S. and are based in Dallas, TX and Maryland.
They do public shows, private parties, corporate training, emceeing, and mime.
Evelyn “The Other White Meat” Mullins is the director for the Dallas troupe and Andy Mullins, her husband is part of the group. Evelyn, a resident of Plano, earned her bachelor of arts in radio/t.v./film from North Texas University and Andy is a native of Fort Worth and earned his associates degree from Tarrant County College. Kelly Fiore, also part of the troupe, is a resident of Carrollton and actress Pam Holcomb-McLain grew up in Lewisville where she took her first piano lesson at six followed by vocal training, dance lessons, and drama classes.
“Comedy is very hard and anxiety-producing but when success happens it is so, so sweet,” said comedy writer Dan Malachowski. “Booking gigs and trying to make a few dollars as a young comedian is not easy.”
Joe Pug, one of the actors in the Bethesda, MD troupe, has been jokingly referred to on the website as “born to circus people.”
According to comedy-zone.net for every comedian knocking them dead on late night t.v. there are thousands more who battle each week not for the national spotlight but for five minutes of stage time at some hole-in-the-wall diner, bar, or bookstore.
Julie Garner, also part of the MD group, is from Hershey, PA and John Slone has been performing regional theater in the metro area for the last several years.
In the corporate arena Last Ham offers workshops with an ensemble cast to bring fun to the workplace.
They also take company training information to custom write a fun seminar filled with skits and games that educates and trains guests as well as entertains them.
Attendees to live shows must be 17 years or older and all shows are rated “R.”
Last Ham is the newest product from Ingenious Interplay, Inc., an entertainment agency specializing in interactive games and events.
“People tell me it must be great being a comic because I don’t have a boss,” said comedian Vince Martin. “Everyone’s heard of hecklers but I’ve found that for all the discussion about them, they are exceedingly rare.”
