Debi Gutierrez has become quite the expert on life and relationships. It was during a dinner one night that she realized her marriage wasn’t what it used to be. From that moment on she decided to rebuild the bond she’d lost with her husband and along the way, she learned enough stuff to start a 45-minute comedy show about relationships.
Originally, Gutierrez was a high school teacher, which could explain her amazing ability to connect with the audience and pass on her knowledge of marriage. Her unique style doesn’t alienate men and it speaks to couples of all ages.
In the 17-years Debi’s been doing this, she’s performed all over the world and makes regular appearances at some of the country’s top comedy clubs. She’s even been dubbed, “The Mommycomic.”
Besides comedy, Debi has dabbled as an actress and TV host. You may remember seeing her in an eBay commercial dancing through a freeway traffic jam. She starred in a pilot sitcom called BLISS as well. Gutierrez hosted, HIDDEN AGENDA, a series on the Gameshow Network where couples tried to convince their partners to complete a series of challenges for money without divulging they’re on a gameshow. She also just completed her 5th season as the host of KCET-TV’s Emmy-winning parenting show, A PLACE OF OUR OWN.
And her comedy has been seen on dozens of networks including Style, E!, NBC, Showtime, Comedy Central and more! And she’s also got a comedy CD out now titled, HE’S NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND, where most of the material is taken straight from her own missadventures in dating.

Mike Ivy is an Internet enigma… no website, no Facebook or MySpace, he’s not on Twitter and images of him are hard to come by. The one at the left is the only known picture of Mike there seems to be on the Internet. He was a regular on THE SARAH SILVERMAN SHOW. He’s also appeared on television shows like LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O’BRIEN, SHOWTIME AT THE APPOLLO and IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA.
Mike’s been in a few movies as well. Despite not having his own web presence… he is listed on IMDb. His film credits include low-budget flicks like THE WATERMELON, FEATHERWEIGHT and most recently, a small part in a movie called FRED & VINNIE.
It’s clear during this conversation with Charlie, Mike has been in the comedy biz for quite some time, 30-years to be more precise. Little of that free, I might add. As he explains, most of his off-stage time is spent waiting for people to do something stupid so he can talk about it later, on-stage. Since Mr. Ivy doesn’t have a website, below you’ll find links to his IMDb page and to the latest film in which he’s appeared.
