Special Thanks: Thank you for being a part of Champs Booster Club! The idea for the adults-only ‘Comedy Night’ was borne out of the fact, that EVERYONE NEEDS A LAUGH. Due to budget cuts and lay-offs, our students, parents and faculty are suffering. I wanted the Booster Club to join forces with the community and provide an evening filled with laughter. The Booster Club is dedicated to fostering growth and enriching the relationship between parents, teachers and students. We wanted to help raise money for our school. The idea of a comedy night grew organically from a random thought to a flood of interested and talented comedians in our community. This event is nothing short of a miracle. We look forward to building and expanding our supportive, artistic, and charitable community.

ANT® takes chances. In 2008, he ventured out of his comfort zone, appearing in the VH1 series,"Celebracadbra" (magic with the stars). A terrible fear of clowns and unfortunate skill with magic, brought viewers one of televisions funniest moments. But it took a group of first graders to bring him down. Literally. (ANT still insists they started it.) Soon after he released his second album - a live DVD concert film called, "ANT: America's Ready"(his first album was the comedy CD "Follow my ass!" from Comedy Central Records). More recently, he can be seen guest starring on the ABC hit series, "The Middle" with the hilarious Patricia Heaton, on the TV Guide Channel's Celebrity Feuds , and in his daily video blog, "ANT rANT" which has taken the web by storm generating hundreds of thousands of views and ranking in the top 100,000* websites in the nation (there are over 87 million).
