The rock and comedy connection is here,

Courtney Cronin Dold is an accomplished comedian and writer and her current project has been working with rock stars to turn their stories into comedy gold.

One of the few true Van Halen tribute artists with the band's blessing, Nerd Halen has taken the legendary songs in an entertaining direction.

Both will take the stage July 21 at the world famous Vamp'd rock club here in Las Vegas along with Hal Sparks, who is also the lead singer of Nerd Halen.

We talked to Dold about working with rock legends and Rapoport about the success of his band.
