Bio: Picard Maneuver is a comedy duo specializing in nerd based humor that all ages and audiences can enjoy. Formed by Adam Fanshier (right) and Mike Hover (left) in 2007, Picard Maneuver combines elements of musical comedy, vaudeville, physical comedy, audience interaction and improvisation into their one of a kind act. Adam and Mike’s unique brand of humor comes from their very honest presentation of their personal lives. They are two nerds trying to make it in a world filled with “cool kids”. The majority of their material may be about geek-related topics, but their message is universal: No matter who you are, be comfotable in your own skin. You don’t have to be a nerd, or ever watched anepisode of Star Trek to enjoy Picard Maneuver (even though their name comes from a specific episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation). Adam has even defied all nerd odds and was recently married (not to Mike, unless that will get us the gig). Dont be fooled, their act is more than a collection of ‘Fanboy’ inside jokes. It is an honest tale of the ‘every man’. Adam and Mike have a talent for making audiences realize that being an “outsider” is more than OK— it should be embraced! Their most famous example of their ideology is Mike’s unusual and memorable way of picking up women demonstrated by his “Wookie Dance”. The two joined with the best of intentions to, as they put it, “Bring back the style of comedy popularized by classic duos such as Bing and Bob, Martin and Lewis, and The Smothers Brothers.” And audiences sure seem to enjoy their ideology. From comedy clubs and bars, to the halls of prison (yes, they’ve performed in prisons), Picard Maneuver has been delighting audiences all over California. Whether you were beating up nerds in high school, the ones thrown into the trashcan, or watched it from afar, Picard Maneuver is the comedy group for you. “Picard Maneuver are two incredibly funny individuals who play folk music while telling stories and riffing off each other with expert precision— much like the 60's Smothers Brothers."- Orange County Poetry Festival 2008 Event Guide
