About Barbara Holliday, Stand-Up Comedian and Producer of H2F Comedy Productions, Inc. When Barbara Holliday isn’t busy Producing, she can be found on stage at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. There, she delights audiences with her stand-up comedy routine about family and friends as well as putting up her character impersonations such as Dr. Ruth, and Coco—the Solid Gold dancer. Holliday, the Producer of H2F Comedy Productions, Inc. (H2F), a local live comedy show production company, is an unexpectedly funny, blue-eyed, 5-foot-2-inch dynamo. And since 1999, she has been producing live comedy shows and festivals all over Los Angeles, such as Uncle Clyde’s Comedy Contest, sponsored by the Riviera Comedy Club in Las Vegas, Survival of the Funniest and the Hollywood Ha Ha Festival.

Holliday was born in Long Island, New York to computer programmer Paul Holliday and visual artist, Madeline Baker. She believes her multi-talented capacity for performance, business and training is a result of being raised in a thoroughly “left brain/right brain” family. Experience probably has much to do with her flair as well. After graduating from San Diego State University with her CBEST certification and a degree in Theater Arts (Hon.) English minor in 1989, she was headed for a high school teaching stint but ended up getting cast instead as a Kid’s Club Host for Fox on the highly-rated television program Fox Kids Club in Oregon. The show allowed Holliday to hone her teaching & leadership skills on some of the toughest guests around—young children and animals—while simultaneously writing and producing her daily show. 

Since moving to Los Angeles in 1993, Holliday has performed in films (Naked Gun 33⅓) and television shows (Friends, The Dating Game, World’s Funniest), on stage (Funny Girl, Hello Dolly, West Side Story) and as a stand-up and sketch comedian (The Comedy Store,IGBY’s, Ha Ha Café, The Improv and various other Showcases throughout Los Angeles). She has also worked as a Clown, and balloon artist at local theme parks, as well as being the CO-Creator of Uncle Clydes Comedy Contest, and Survival of the Funniest which she is currently pitching as a pilot.

Dave Reinitz finds his roots in Ithaca New York and his current home is in Los Angeles California. He is the son of a history professor father and an artist mother. His father passed away when Dave was only 13. He spent his teenage years with his Mother and two sisters, even his cat was female. Dave did all he could to get out of the house as fast as possible. He got his first job his sophomore year of high school, as a dishwasher in a college restaurant. He graduated as his class valedictorian! This sound much more impressive than it really is. You see, Dave attended an Alternative Community School and never received a letter grade. He was the valedictorian because he gave the graduation speech, and a fine speech it was. Dave then moved on to the State University of New York Brockport. This world-renowned institution’s alumni include Wendy O’Williams, Oliver North, and the actor who played Horseshack.

After a short stint Dave went back to Ithaca and started his career in the restaurant industry. After a few years Dave got the travel bug. So off he went, not on a cruise or extended vacation, no he simply bought a 1973-dodge Mobley traveler motor home. He packed up all he owned and off he went. The next 4 years were filled with travel and bartending jobs, from Cape Cod to Venice Beach. When the engine in the motor home blew up Dave settled in L.A. He started a job as an executive recruiter specializing in the restaurant industry. It was at this point that he got the comedy bug. Dave has been performing throughout Southern California and beyond for six years now. He was the Assistant Publisher and Comedy Editor for Laugh-Line magazine. He has also been both the Host and Producer for Uncle Clyde’s comedy contest. Dave found his comedic voice in the emotions he felt after September 11th. Since that point his comedy has taken a political twist. He lists George Carlin, Bill Maher and Chris Rock as sources of inspiration. Reinitz is also known as “Brother Dave” a preacher / network marketing guru, ready to sell you.
