Tammy Pescatelli has debuted a new reality show on the Wetv Network called, "A Stand Up Mother." The show depicts every day life balancing her career and family from one coast to another. Growing up with all brothers will give a girl from Cleveland two things: a great sense of security and an even greater sense of humor. Indeed, comedienne Tammy Pescatelli got her fair share of both, but her sense of humor is what has made her one of America’s funniest-and hardest working-women of comedy.
And giving the pros a run for their money in the poker department, Tammy recently participated in the GSN poker series “Poker Royale: Comedians Vs. Pros,” making it all the way to the finals. Tammy also recently appeared in her own half-hour special for Comedy Central, “Comedy Central Presents: Tammy Pescatelli”. Tammy also co-stars in the upcoming indie films Everybody Wants to Be Italian, Singled and Made in Brooklyn.
Becoming one of the top finalists on “Last Comic Standing” has catapulted Tammy’s career and won her a slew of new fans, solidifying her as one of the sharpest women in comedy. Tammy has appeared as a guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and “Dennis Miller” and has been a featured comic on PAX’s “Balderdash” National Lampoon’s “Funny Money” and Comedy Central’s “The World Stands Up.” She has also performed on the “Jerry Lewis Telethon” twice. More recently, she has performed on “TBS’s Evening at the Laugh Factory,” “Last Call with Carson Daly,” “The Bonnie Hunt Show” and has been a guest on the syndicated show “Comics Unleashed,” along with writing and performing for TBS’ “BitComs”.
Most recently Tammy was the first ever female winner of Comedy Central’s Standup Showdown- which made her Google’s 4th most searched person of the day.

Within their first two years on CBS records, the band scored 5 number one records including
“Church on Cumberland Road”, “Sunday in the South”, and “Next to You Next to Me”.
In 1996 the band was lured by music legend Jimmy Bowen to Capitol Records and it was during this period that Shenandoah’s live shows took on an exciting new dimension and the band produced more chart toppers like ”Janie Baker’s Love Slave”, and the Grammy award winner, “Somewhere In The Vicinity of the Heart”. Some acts would have played it safe after establishing themselves as a successful country “Supergroup” and winning a CMA award, TNN and ACM group of the year accolades, and the much coveted Grammy, but not these guys. With thirteen number one songs, countless chart hits, Gold albums, and a reputation as one of the hardest working touring acts in the business, this band is still evolving, taking chances, and striving for the musical perfection and performance that have made them radio and concert favorites around the country.
Since beating out thousands for the enviable spot as part of the Final Five on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing 2,” Tammy’s current schedule is jam-packed with headlining appearances at top comedy clubs and venues across the country, as well as adding her comedic observations to specials on VH1, E!, G4, Country Music Television and TV Land. She is also featured weekly as part of the “Fashion Police” panel for US Weekly.

Anita Cochran
Anita Cochran was born Feb. 6, 1967, in Pontiac, Mich. Her parents named her after Anita Carter of the Carter Family. Her parents were originally from Kentucky but moved to Michigan to work in the auto industry. Her father was also a local country performer who took Anita to countless country music festivals, and she began playing guitar at the age of 4. Although she spent time working for an insurance firm as an adult, she continued to perform in bands and as a solo act.
She caught her first break when hired to manage a local recording studio. She sang backing vocals and engineered many sessions, recording on her own when she had time. Although she lacked confidence in her abilities, Cochran and her manager sent off several demos to the Warner Bros. label. In 1995, Warner Bros. chief Jim Ed Norman heard a tape and was impressed with her singing, writing and playing. He offered her a contract.
For her debut album, 1997's Back to You, Cochran wrote or co-wrote all but one song and played guitar, Dobro, banjo and mandolin on the sessions. The first two singles barely scraped the chart, but her duet with Steve Wariner, "What If I Said," climbed to No. 1. In 2004, she released the single "Cheatin' Song," which used bits and pieces of Conway Twitty's past recorded performances, stitched together to "sing" a duet part.
Anita Cochran is finding “serenity” with her long awaited new release “Serenity”! Anita says “after switching record labels,
I had to do some soul searching and after several years I feel I’m in a better place, which is why I’m calling my first new album in 5 years “Serenity”.
