Allyson Smith
A consistent fan favorite at home in Canada or wherever
the punch line finds her, Allyson Smith brings her signature blend of brash
social commentary and clever life insights to one of the most alluring shows
around.
No stranger to stage, screen or studio, Allyson’s biting
wit and cunning charisma have been featured on Much Music’s ‘Video on Trial’,
CTV ‘Comedy Now’, W Network, Star TV,’ as well on CBC Radio’s ‘Madly Off
In All Directions’ and ‘The Debaters.’ She was a semi-finalist at the 2007
Seattle Comedy Contest, earning an invitation to the prestigious Just for
Laughs Comedy Festival, and she has also played the Edmonton International
Fringe Theatre Festival. Continually honing her craft on audiences from
coast to coast, this ‘embarrassingly varied’ comedian and consummate professional
is sure to leave you in stitches (the good kind).
Massimo
Originally
from Montreal, Massimo grew up in the very Italian neighbourhood of St-Michel.
Massimo spent most of his life being (as most teachers put it) a wise ass
who never knew where to draw the line.
But, in January of 2000 Massimo
found a place where acting the fool was accepted and he has been on the
stage performing ever since. Now, if you ask Massimo about comedy, he will
say: "I enjoy everything, the good, the bad, the drunk and the ugly. There
is something about making a crowd laugh that makes me feel invincible."
It's his never surrender attitude that got him a spot at the 2004 Montreal
Just For Laughs Festival where he brought down the house.
Massimo
is all about giving the audience what they want but at the same time staying
true to himself and talking about the things that he wants to express as
a comedian. He is a perfect blend of confidence and insecurity, the lover
and the hater, the man and the boy.
Cedric
Newman
Born in Jamaica and raised in Montreal, this comic brings
both distinct cultures on stage with him. His charm and likeability grabs
hold of the audience, and his clever sharp wit has you from the word go.
He has a keen sense and brings a whole new style to observational comedy.
Cedric's energy on stage is fresh and entertaining. Although relatively
new at Stand-Up, he has garnished himself some of the highest praise from
some of the most well seasoned comics in Canada. He breaks down all cultural
barriers and brings you into his world as he sees it. Definitely the most
sought after new young comics in Canada.
