What makes John Valby, who is better known as “Dr. Dirty,” so unique and entertaining is his ability to mix his musical talent with a mad-cap variety of "Dirty Ditties." Valby's repertoire is composed of popular songs, limericks and classical arrangements with the addition of some of his own original creations. Valby has made a career out of poking fun at his audiences and stretching the limits of free speech and accepted good taste from behind the piano. As a trained classical pianist Valby quickly realized that the demand was limited and turned to his new, dirtier material, which became instant hit. He has recorded and produced over 30 CDs and LPs. Nothing and no one remains sacred during a Dr. Dirty show.

One of the most popular and highly recognized standup comedians on the road today has also made quite an impression in the television, film and radio arenas. Hughley spent four successful years starring in his own sitcom “The Hughleys,” but it was the mega-hit ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY, a film based on the 1999 tour featuring D.L., Bernie Mac, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, that launched D.L. into superstardom. D.L. has undoubtedly proven himself as one of the hardest working men in showbiz.
