DON JAMIESON FROM VH1's THAT METAL SHOW

with Chris Ketler

Don Jamieson is best known as co-host of VH1 Classic’s hit heavy metal talk show series, ‘That Metal Show’ where legends of rock hang out to discuss their past and current projects in front of a live studio audience. Rolling Stone Magazine dubbed the program one of the 50 Best Reasons To Watch TV! He also co-hosted ‘Beer Money,’ a fast-paced, non-traditional sports quiz show airing on SNY (SportsNet NY). He is currently co-hosting a new rock web-series with former Fox News correspondent and fellow rock fan, Juliet Huddy, on BlondeandCrossbones.com.

Amongst his many accomplishments, Jamieson’s 2 stand-up CD’s ‘Live & Hilarious’ and ‘Hell Bent For Laughter’ on Metal Blade Records hit the Top 20 on iTunes and Top 10 on the Billboard comedy charts and his third for the label, ‘Communication Breakdown’ drops April 21st. He is proudly sponsored by Monster Energy Drinks and Coldcock Whiskey.

Jamieson’s proudest moment is becoming an Emmy Award-Winner for his work on HBO’s ‘Inside The NFL’. Don and long-time comedy partner, Jim Florentine, lent their brand of humor to the popular sports show; writing, producing and performing sports-themed comedy sketches.

The two have also collaborated on the hidden-camera DVD and Comedy Central web series, ‘Meet The Creeps’ as well as a series of prank call CD’s, ‘Terrorizing Telemarketers’, heard regularly on the Howard Stern radio show. He is also a joke writer for the country’s best celebrity roaster, Lisa Lampanelli and spent many years as Andrew Dice Clay’s steady opener.

Don’s stand-up act brings his everyday take on life with an added dash of sarcasm for good measure. He’s able to make people laugh at things they wouldn’t normally laugh at and then laugh again at that realization. Besides performing in clubs and theaters all over the country he also performs stand-up at rock festivals such as Rock On The Range, Monsters Of Rock Cruise and Metallica’s Orion Music + More Festival where he was introduced by drummer Lars Ulrich.

Don started his career as one of the young and talented comedy minds at MTV helping to launch the careers of comics like Jon Stewart, Kevin James and Jay Mohr, But unbeknownst to many, Don was spending his nights on the local comedy scene developing his own comic style.

Chris Ketler

Chris Ketler aka The Bitter Dude has been bitter since the day he was born. He hails from NE Ohio but grew up in Central FL. Growing up he had a love of Rock-n-Roll and wanted to be on stage. Sadly, he had no musical talent, so he just lived a Rock-n-Roll lifestyle.

After 25 years of sun and surf Chris returned to his roots in rural NE Ohio. It would take another 25 years before he discovered he should be on stage….as a comic! That was 15 years ago. Today, he’s still a comedian and not so bitter as now owns and operates Krackpots Comedy Club, Massillon His personal philosophy is to live a life worth commenting on, or at least be able to see the humor in it. So, after raising 2 sons, a failed marriage, several lost jobs, being the oldest of 9 siblings and a lifetime of bitterness Chris was ready to hit the stage. Chris is a strong feature comedian who knows how to warm a crowd up for a headliner yet not overshadow a headliner. He has worked extensively throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, New York, Florida, Indiana and Illinois. A few defining moment for him was performing at The Laugh Factory, Zanies, Riddles, The Funny Farm, The Improv, The Broadway Comedy Club, The Greenwich Village Comedy Club, The Comedy Bar , & many other notable clubs. He has worked with some of the best and some not so good comedians throughout his career and has been a finalist numerous times in The Funny Stop Comedy Contest in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Chris’s production group, Funny Noizes Productions, is one of N.E. Ohio’s largest independent producers. FNP was nominated as “Best Production Group” in 2018 & 2019 Cleveland Comedy Awards. Chris can be heard on I Heart Radio every week as a Co Host on The Epic Radio Show. Chris’s comedic style is reminiscent of George Carlin and Steve Martin. He entices his audiences to pack their bags as he throws them in the back of his van, willing or not they’re along for the ride as he takes them on a journey through his life. His material reverberates with audience members, relates to common themes of today, but he reacts in a manner that no sane person would but without crossing the comedy blue line. Audiences seem to relate to his unique perspective and tenacious sense of humor. To Chris, life is always bittersweet.
