Pizzi is a regular at Giggle's Comedy Club in Saugus and at Foxwoods Casino and Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort, and he is a popular performer on the corporate circuit. Pizzi also participates in numerous charitable fundraisers and benefit concerts.

According to Pizzi, he also is the Unofficial Magician of the New England Patriots.

Miller is a veteran of the Boston comedy scene who works all over New England, and Volonino is a magician who does table-to-table magic and stage magic.

Riley, meanwhile, is a former National Hockey League referee who is a fixture on the Boston comedy scene and a headliner throughout New England.

Johnny Pizzi's Lots of Laughs Comedy Lounge re-opened in November after moving from its previous location at China Blossom Restaurant. The club was at China Blossom for 14 years, but a change in management at the restaurant led Pizzi to seek a new space.
