Dave Jacks
Dave Jacks is an up and coming actor/sketch comic living in New York City. Recently Verizon wireless got a taste of Dave and booked him for a national TV ad and print campaign. Heineken Light cast him as the lead in their new short film Sam's Tail, which is being shown at film festivals around the world and the IFC channel. Watch it online at Promotion Pictures

Dave has also appeared in numerous commercials including State Farm Insurance, Old Navy and a promo for the History Channel's new show "Lost Worlds." In February of 06 he produced and starred in the play "The Ends of the Earth" at the Sanford Misener Theater and the reviews were glowing. David has appeared in numerous plays throughout NYC.

David has studied sketch comedy and improvisation at the Upright Citizens Brigade while honing his acting craft at the Terry Schreber Studio and now the MTB studio.

Mark Gessner
Born in Vermont in 1980, Mark Gessner grew up in a small town.  He performed in many children’s theater productions growing up and wrote and performed his first stand-up routine at the age of 11. 

His first foray into sketch came in high school and it went quite well and clearly fellow classmates and noted jocks Brian and Nate were wrong and he is not a tool at all; on the contrary.  Also they are balding and still living in Vermont so hahaha. Improv and acting at Marymount Manhattan College and training at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater came next. 

Mark currently lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and two cats and eagerly awaits the birth of his first child.  When he is not absolutely tearing it up hilarity-wise with Purple Monkey Dishwasher you can find him doing improv with his group Big Tobacco and doing stand-up around the country.  He is pretty much of the opinion that the Yankees are poised to make another dynastic run but he understands if you do not agree.
