Whose Shrine is it Anyway?


This here, my friends, is my little tribute to the men and women of WLiiA? whom I have had the extreme pleasure of meeting (and annoying, I'm sure!). Several have provided me with invaluable help with this project and web page. They all have been so wonderfully nice to myself and my friends. I can't thank them enough! Well, enough drivel, let's get cracking!

Wayne Brady
Check out Wayne's Official Webpage for everything you wanted to know about this improv dynamo. What can I say about Wayne? Simply talented; an amazing singer; smart, quick, and seems to truly enjoy his work. One of the nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting; really cares about and enjoys his fans. The next big thing; WLiiA?'s new Golden Boy.
What do other fine folks think about this singing sensation?
*Tibby says: "Like turning on the radio and finding the song you like is on. Wayne is full of surprises."
*Julie says: "That golden throat; amazing at song lyrics; excellent impressionist."
*Molly says: "That guy has a voice to die for, I melt every time I hear him sing."
*Jessie says: "Meltable voice; incredibly nice; my second favorite Tigger."
*Serena says: "Some record company better sign him up soon!!! The sweetest singing voice I have ever heard!"
*Claudia says: "Like my friends say, he either has to be a singer, an actor of a model. He can make a song faster than you can say, 'Phillyfoo.'"

Colin Mochrie
Check out Colin's Official Home Page to find out more facts about this muffin of a man than you can shake a maple leaf at. What can I say about Colin? His constant kindness, patience, and sweetness with everyone he meets has made me a fan of his work and a fan of him. Truly a rare and special person. he probably thinks I'm a nut, but that's ok by me. A talented improviser with a rubber face that makes people smile and a handshake that warms your heart. Colin has been invaluable to me in regards to this project and helping with tapings...and simply with putting up with me! Gotta love him! Oh yeah, and he's pretty darn funny too!

What can I say about Greg? he's a very talented guy; great at improv, great at stand-up - he does it all! Terribly nice, too. The first time I met him, he called me "Pookie" and I absolutely swooned©; always takes the time to meet and greet fans and scribble a lil' message of a scrap of paper. Just a groovy guy!

What do other fine friendlies think about this perplexing perfectionist?

*Jessie says: "Charming, amazing voice, patient (and always seemingly amused when he is surrounded)."
*Serena says: "::sighing dreamily:: I will be forever thankful to him for Las Vegas and the Jurassic Park thing he did for US!!! And love his facial expressions!"

*Lori says: "Very under-rated, versitile ... and being gorgeous doesn't hurt either!"
Ryan Stiles
Check here for pages about this performer's performer. What can I say about Ryan? Just that he is simply the man! Generous and kind; willing to take the time to talk to nobody's like me. Funny, funny man; just plain brilliant. Thinks computers are evil (but now he has one!), but we love him anyway. An absolutely amazing performer.
What do other fine fools think about this lanky lover of improv?
*Tibby says: "There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Ryan."
*Julie says: "Wonderfully inventive; unafraid of looking silly; excellent with faces."
*Molly says: "He is very talented and he seems to do a great job at imitating animals."
*Jessie says: "Patient, constantly surprising, always 'makes me giggle'."."
*Serena says: "6'5" of of pure brilliance! It amazes me how he and Colin just know what each other is thinking . . ."
*Claudia says: "He's GORGEOUS! He never fails to make me laugh."
*Lori says: "Never at a loss for words, a truly brilliant improviser. And is there anything this man will not put in his mouth?"
