Mad Atoms

Haphestus Foster threw away the tiny vestige of credibility he had as a reporter and photographer with the Stars and Stripes newspaper to waste untold thousands of dollars on a screenwriting degree at USC, where he literally pays people to tell him his work sucks. He has a deep knowledge of cheeses and has been to Antarctica.

Clem Rorsch aka Ryan Sandoval is an LA-based writer, sketch performer, and stand up who sometimes wears manicured facial hair.  He has performed at such shows as Not Too Shabby, D+D's Joke Center, and Acid Reflux Hour. He currently studies improv at the UCB Theater, and can be seen in the sketch collective Weak Nights.

Geoffrey began his life watching The Muppets, and he'll die watching The Muppets.  He's written for Cracked, Warner Bros., the New York Television Festival, and has his own site called Trophy Bomb.  He loves both Capcom and Marvel equally, and wonders why they have to fight so much?

Matt Manser is a writer/comedian based in Los Angeles.  He is the head writer for "Big News," a weekly topical sketch show at IO West, writes sketches for shows at the UCB Theater, and writes videos for UCBComedy.com.  Oh, and he has also written for CMT's "Trick My Truck."

Michelle was raised in the South, where she was taught "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." So, instead, she writes.

Johnny Highland was raised in Orange County and officially moved into the Heart of Darkness (LA) in 2003. He writes and produces comedy videos for the Internet, which is impressive because it's not like anyone can do that. He spends his days working on a late night talk show, and watches an unfortunate amount of reality TV.

Artie is the editor of the MadAtoms blog and constantly gets called into the boss's office to get yelled at for the filth that's posted here. He's from Los Angeles (Glendale), so punk police are afraid of him.

Sabrina Cognata is a writer and a thinker.  Since thinking and writing pays next to nothing she opted to fuck her way to the top.  Tragically, she only fucks muscle heads and miscreants.  Her big plans for 2009 are writing and Brazilian AIDS

Saryn is an entertainment journalist and creative writer. She's the kind of chick who seems to have her shit together, but is really a hypomanic nymphet on the sly. Saryn hails from the WASP-y state of Connecticut and is a recent LA-transplant (via NYC). She has an encyclopedic memory and is a psychic friend to felines everywhere.

Randy Crenshaw's largely foolish belief that he will succeed in this industry stems entirely from a single incident in high school where he came up with the exact premise to Quantum Leap without ever having seen an episode of that show. He's been to the top of both the real Eiffel Tower in Paris and the ½ scale replica in Las Vegas.
