ANDY PITZ is thrilled to return once again for the Comedy for Koby Tour.

 

Some people (mostly therapists)

have told Andy that there were pretty good odds of him getting into comedy or some other profession for

attention-seeking middle children. Andy is a lifelong fan of comedy and has been doing standup

professionally since 1990. He grew up in Buffalo, NY and currently lives in New Jersey.

 

He's been on TV

a number of times, highlighted by appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late

Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and his comedy can be heard daily on Sirius XM Radio's Comedy

Stations.

LIZ GLAZER is an award-winning standup comedian who used to be an award-winning tenured law professor. 

Liz recently did standup on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon which was included in the New York Times “Best of Late Night.” Liz also has sets with Don’t Tell Comedy and Nate Bargatze’s The Showcase, as well as a full length comedy special on YouTube entitled “Do You Know Who I’m Not?”

RITCH SHYDNER rose to prominence in the 1980s with standout appearances on Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, and his HBO special One Night Stand. He played Al Bundy’s co-worker on Married with Children, appeared on shows like Designing Women and Roseanne, and landed roles in films including Roxanne and Beverly Hills Cop II. As a writer, he contributed to sitcoms such as Roseanne, The Jeff Foxworthy Show, and HBO’s The Mind of the Married Man, and wrote material for Jeff Foxworthy’s Grammy-nominated albums as well as for Ron White and Jay Leno. He co-authored I Killed, produced and appeared in the documentary I Am Comic, and published his memoir Kicking Through the Ashes. Ritch now performs America’s Reflection in the Funhouse Mirror: A History of Stand-up Comedy—all while working diligently to avoid becoming an aging Uber driver.

​

Praise from his peers includes Jay Leno (“And remember, Shydner, don’t tell anyone you wrote those jokes for me”), Jerry Seinfeld (“a terrific comedy writer and definitely one of the good guys”), Jeff Foxworthy (“one of the best stand-ups ever”), and Bill Maher, who recalls that Shydner was always the comic other comics came in to watch—“because he was the funniest.”

AVI LIBERMAN has appeared on numerous TV shows over the years and was the first comedian with Israeli citizenship to perform in Dubai following the Abraham Accords. He has performed all over the world, having not only done shows for US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but repeated his shows for those in the military after October 7th, when Avi stayed in Israel for two months doing shows not only on bases for soldiers, but also for evacuees from the south and north. During the day Avi would cut vegetables and meal prep for soldiers serving in Gaza. That whole experience ended up being the final chapter in his latest book titled "Stranger Gigs", his second after "Traveling During The Pandemic". Avi has also sold and optioned two films tilted "Miriam" and "Patrick".

We of course know him best for the tour he started in Israel years ago bringing the best comedians from overseas which has become Comedy For Koby.
