BIOGRAPHY
Edgy music-driven comedy duo Dakaboom is two guys doing comedy that combines the musical genres of pop, opera, hip-hop, jazz, musical theatre and a cappella. One is a curly redhead with Franki Valli's sinuses and a keen sense of humor. The other is a wide-eyed brunette ingénue with old-fashioned flair, a flawless voice and an occasional mermaid costume. They're long-time best friends who reference the old-school vaudeville style, while manipulating it into a playful, modern art form.
Ben McLain is classically trained in voice, a graduate of UC Irvine with degrees in music and drama. While Ben has recently made appearances on General Hospital, he spends most of his time recording and touring with Verve vocal band Sonos, featured this season on NBC's The Sing Off.
Paul Peglar, a graduate of UCLA's School of Theatre, has worked on stage and screen as an actor, singer, music director and as a pianist was seen in the Fox hit Glee.
