JOHNNY
GARDHOUSE - Who?
For the past 15 years, Johnny Gardhouse has been a touring
stand-up comic, making him a true road warrior. From coast to coast, across
Canada, the U.S. and all the way to the other side of the planet, Johnny
has played colleges, universities, nightclubs & hosted numerous corporate
events.
However, you’ve probably never heard of him. That suits him just fine, because
once you’ve seen Johnny, you will never forget him.
He is quick on his feet and never at a loss for words. His razor sharp comebacks
and unique blend of current events and storytelling make this Canadian able
to hold his own on the world stage.
“Hey, he kinda looks familiar?” Well that’s because Johnny can be seen in
countless television commercials that air across North America.
From his turn as the “Cash for Life” postman, to the boomerang ducking guy
in the Sensodine Toothpaste ad, he has been invading your living room for
over a decade.
Some may also recognize Johnny from the Blockheads, the Toronto comedy troupe
that fooled talk show host Jerry Springer, changing daytime TV forever.
For insomniacs and the unemployed he is most recognizable as co-host on
the Comedy Network’s hit series “Gutter Ball Alley”, where pushing the envelope
of dignity was their mandate.
Johnny Gardhouse, bringing you the ha, ha since 1992.
Jon
Steinberg
Jon Steinberg gets his material from his unique and
twisted view of the world. He has been nominated for several awards including
a Canadian Comedy Award for best new comic in 2005. Performing since 1999,
this dark young mind has appeared on The Comedy Network and XM Satellite
Radio. With a truly original and genuine voice, Jon has built a following
across Canada, blowing minds and pushing boundaries wherever he performs.
Jon recorded a Comedy Now special for CTV and the Comedy Network in the
fall of 2007. Be sure to do yourself a favor and see this brilliant young
comic when he comes your way.
Chris
Quigley
Chris Quigley has been wowing comedy audiences since
he was just 19 years old. Now 33, he has mastered his craft, making Chris
one of Canada’s top comedians and earning him an hour special on CTV’s well
known “Comedy Now”. Covering a wide range of topics with facial expressions
that are second to none, Chris is sure to please audiences both young and
old.
He happily tears up the mythologies of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness with superb ease and accuracy. He is an energetic comedic force
and a "kamikaze" humourist.
He's a favourite at Yuk Yuk’s clubs, colleges and festivals across the country.
If you’re a fan of comedy with little to no vulgarity, this is one comedian
you do not want to miss!
"I've been doing Comedy for many years now, and mark my words this guy is
going to be a super star"
Ben Guyatt – Host of Comedy at Club 54
Old fashioned in a juvenile way, Chris Quigley hits you from the side of
the head with warped concepts, a bold and daring presence, and a 51-card
character. This Oakville native has great "outsider" instincts about this
fine country, Canada.
"The Quigster's a real live weirdo and has the dramatic deftness to turn
stupidity into revelation." - Daryl Jung, NOW Magazine

Praise for Chris from a past client:
Hi Derek and all at Yuk Yuk’s
Our hockey group really enjoyed Chris Quigley's comedy last evening. For
many of the people in the audience this was the first time watching his
performance. Needless to say he gave everyone many, many laughs throughout
the performance and there was great discussion on how funny he was after
the show. We all agreed that somewhere in California or New York there is
a sitcom with his name on it. Please thank him for us. It was a pleasure
laughing so hard. Thanks again.
