Last time Eric McMahon performed at The Cabaret Theatre at Mohegan Sun he rocked the house. We had to bring him back. If you've ever wondered what life would be like if a Type A, high-strung, alpha male wound up raising three daughters, then look no further than a night of informative comedy with Eric McMahon. You will understand the struggle of trying to keep a marriage "blissful" after 20 years, trying to keep the high school boys away from his daughters and protecting their innocence plus dealing with an aging body that simply doesn't function like the well oiled machine it used to be.

His upbeat, energetic delivery and his versatility to work blue or squeaky clean has made him a favorite all over the country. This is demonstrated by the fact that he has recently opened for both Ray Romano and Andrew Dice Clay. In the past few years, Eric has pitched a sitcom to CBS, starred in an off-off Broadway drama called The Chill on Lake St. Clair, hosts a weekly radio show called What's Your Problem?, played Billy Flynn in a Broadway review of Chicago, and is one of the writers and performers in Jim Florentine's comedy sketches on HBO's Inside the NFL.

Described as a high-energy comic, Chris DiStefano acts out a variety of characters derived from his life, typically leaving you on the edge of your seat wondering, "Who the hell is that he's talking about?" Chris has worked at all of the top comedy clubs across New York City including, but not limited to Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, Carolines on Broadway and the Laugh Lounge. Chris still lives in Brooklyn, NY with his mom (punch line). He has a Bachelors degree in Psychology to impress his mom's friends and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy to impress his mom's friend's moms. That kind of thinking got him on the SNY network as the host of the 2010 Fencing Masters at Hammerstein Ballroom. It also got him all the way to the Elite 8 of the 2011 March Madness Comedy Competition at the world famous Carolines on Broadway. When he's not making witty remarks (like the ones you've just read) or transforming into various personas on stage, you can find him stretching people's hamstrings and getting yelled at to clean his room.

Ask any comedian in the country, they will tell you, Mike Eagan is a comedian's comedian. This is one of those funny people that make all the other funny people stay after their set is done to watch a master. He tells the most simple stories in the most disarming - and hilarious - manner. Whether the topic is driving on a crowded highway, sharing a bathroom with his wife or visiting the family at Thanksgiving, Mike finds the humor with a quick and very sharp wit. He is so fast you can actually watch the audience trying not to laugh in fear they might miss the next side-splitting gem.

The foundations of Enation started with brothers Jonathan and Richard Lee Jackson. Having been raised in Battle Ground, WA they moved to Hollywood, CA to pursue careers as actors at the ripe ages of 10 and 13.

Music was in their blood, as their father Ricky Lee Jackson was a Nashville recording Country music artist. Jonathan picked up the guitar and began writing songs and Richard had been playing drums since elementary school. Sibling rivalry (at a young age) turned into a synergy of complimentary gifting as the brothers began to play music together over the ensuing years, including some family concerts headlined by their father.

By the time the brothers were in Hollywood, at the age of just 14 Jonathan was fronting at the famous Whisky A Go-Go with Richard on the drums under the name 'Scarlet Road.' Club gigs continued, although they were both too young to enjoy the complimentary alcohol offered to them.

Their in-depth exposure to the film and television industry as actors from a young age gave the brothers a keen sense of cinematic expression, the importance of spontaneity, genuine emotion, and vulnerability as artists.

Bassist Daniel Sweatt began playing with Jonathan and Richard several years later, joining them on a few club dates in Southern California. It didn't take long for the brothers to invite Daniel to make it official when Enation formed.

The founding members of the band, the brothers Jackson and Daniel Sweatt, now inhabit Enation as a tour-de-force three piece. They continue to create music that has given them the reviews and reputation as being one of the premier indie bands in America - highlighting one of the most dynamic vocalist's and songwriters of their generation in Jonathan Jackson.
