Self-described as "up front, straight to the point, and without limitations," Earthquake is known for his sharp one-liners and brutally honest observations on various topics, which often draw on his own experiences. His knack for stand-up comedy was discovered when he entered a talent show while enlisted in the United States Air Force. It wasn’t until after being dispatched from the military and moving to Atlanta that Earthquake began using comedy as an outlet for his feelings. After several years of success in urban comedy venues, Earthquake began to break into the wider worlds of television and film. He appeared in his own comedy specials and on shows such as Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. He also had roles in the film Getting Played, opposite Vivica Fox and the play, Listen to Your Woman.

Gary Owen began doing comedy while serving as a military police officer at the Naval Installations on Coronado Island in San Diego. He worked up the nerve to perform at a night club one night and in less than a year he was named “Funniest Serviceman in America.” As a white comedian with a large African American fan base, Owen won the “Funniest Black Comedian in San Diego” contest, which led to bigger gigs for him. He later became the first white man to ever host ComicView, as well as the only white on-air personality the network has ever had. He can be seen on Tyler Perry’s House of Payne as the new barber, Zach. He has also had roles in such films as Little Man with the Wayans Brothers, Rebound and Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy. Owen has produced two stand-up DVDs: Breakin’ Out the Park and Urban Legand.
