About DJ Chris Padilla
Chris spent his formative years influenced by everything from Motown to Flamenco, but it was his guitar studies that helped him find the connection between his music and his soul. At the age of 15, Chris moved to NYC. Soon he was enchanted by the magical vibe of Studio 54, but it was the sounds that Roy Thode and Robbie Leslie created at the Saint that inspired Chris to his true calling: The Art of the DJ.
Since then he has played regularly in Montreal, NYC, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, London and Amsterdam. He has also played major events such as Winterparty (Miami), Pride South Florida (Fort Lauderdale) and The L.U.R.E. in Exile Party (NYC). He has held residences at Circuit and Torpedo in Fort Lauderdale and at New York's Splash Bar and is on regular rotation at David Barton Gym.
Chris's blend of latin- inspired rhythms and Deep House with powerful bass lines, killer tribal kicks, electronic melodies and dreamy vocals create an unforgettable experience that leaves you begging for more.

About Oscar Aydin
Oscar Aydin grew up in Chicago and graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2004 with a degree in Television writing & producing. During his college tenure, he developed an interest in acting and stand-up comedy after brief stints in local productions and commercials.
Oscar moved to NYC shortly after graduation to work in production and development for various media companies including Sony Pictures Television, MTV and FOX. In 2008, he attended an improv/stand up workshop the Peoples Improv Theater where he excelled and felt that stand up comedy was his niche'. Since then, he has performed several times at various comedy clubs including Comix Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club and the famed Carolines on Broadway.
Oscar also uses his comedy to give back to the community, by producing the "Laugh Out Loud for Charity" event last December. Several local and nationally recognized comedians came out and helped raise over $150,000 for a local LGBTQ Youth Homeless Shelter. A TV show is in the works as well, titled "Oh Oscar", a variety show where ANYTHING goes. He also is planning and producing several comedy events for 2011.

About The Flying Karamazov Brothers
Four times triumphant on Broadway, the award-winning Flying Karamazov Brothers are back in an unforgettable spectacle of music, comedy, dance, theater and juggling that will dazzle young and old alike. Their show is a combination of humor, both physical and verbal, ranging from high brow to low brow to mono brow. Come watch the Flying K’s as they prove with each performance that chaos and unexpected events in our lives are the best part of being human.
The audience is invited to bring objects to the theater for the Karamazovs to keep airborne in a real challenge that ends either with a pie in the face or a standing ovation. Nightly Interactive Live Streaming Broadcast; Wagering Encouraged.
The show suits all audiences: adults, students, students who watch Glee, tourists, theatergoers, theatre-avoiders, pseudo-intellectuals, Abe Vigoda, the friendless, geeks, hedge fund managers, hedge fund managers who are now Duane Reade assistant managers, kids (but only gifted ones with a solid background in the classics), disgraced religious leaders, Kardashians, and politicians. Pardoned? Incarcerated? They don’t discriminate.
Currently playing at off-Broadway’s Minetta Lane Theatre (18 Minetta Lane, between Sixth Avenue & MacDougal St.)
