Rob Ross
ROB ROSS was born to be a stand-up comic. Or, more accurately,
Rob Ross dropped out of university to be a stand-up comic.
Tentatively
taking the stage as an awkward and gangly 18 year old, Ross knew stand-up
was his destiny/only option. (Now THAT is passion).
Now a veteran
touring headliner with many years experience under his belt, he has amassed
an impressive list of performing credits; Comedy Now, Comics, Just For Laughs,
Halifax Comedy Festival, Winnipeg Comedy Festival, Open Mike With Mike Bullard,
Madly Off In All Directions and many more too numerous (or less impressive)
to mention.
Since moving from Alberta to Toronto in 1993, Ross has
also found steady work as a television writer. His credits include; Rick
Mercer’s Monday Report, Royal Canadian Air Farce, The Geminis, The Junos,
The NHL Awards (and many more failed television pilots too depressing to
mention.)
Currently he is a creative producer with MTV CANADA.
On stage Ross has a unique style- relaxed yet fast paced. His material
is intelligent and original. If you’ve read this far you should probably
book him.
Sam Easton
Sam
Easton was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. His career started with
a bang by winning the Phil Hartman Award and being nominated for both Second
City’s Tim Sims Award and a Canadian Comedy Award for best new comic before
his 22nd birthday. He’s a regular on the Showtime series "The L Word" as
well as the WB series "The Mountain".
His acting skills have been
showcased in many movies including Steven Spielberg’s "Taken", "The Butterfly
Effect", "Crossed", "The Underclassman", "Decoy’s Rebirth", and most recently
he starred as Frankie Cheeks in "Final Destination 3". His one hour comedy
Special airs on both CTV and the Comedy Network.
Ted
Morris
Ted Morris always looks like he's having fun on stage.
His intelligent, off-beat humour and wickedly charming smile lets us all
know that our slightly warped thoughts are just fine.
Born in Ottawa
and now making his home in Toronto, Ted discovered his love of stand-up
while getting his degree in veterinary medicine. He now splits his time
as a small animal vet by day and stand-up comic at night,- although it’s
much more gratifying to “kill” on stage.
He’s been called “fresh
faced and hilarious” by Now Magazine, and slightly ruder things by strangers
in the street. Ted is a writer, producer and all around super guy. He has
performed at the “We’re Funny That Way” and London Comedy Festivals, and
can be heard around the world on XM Radio. His TV appearances include 2
stand-up specials for Pridevision TV (as both a performer and producer),
The Toronto Show, The Comedy Network’s “Canadian Comedy Shorts”, MuchMoreMusic’s
Heat Meter, The Smart Woman’s Survival Guide and as a frequently requested
pop culture pundit on CityTV’s Breakfast Television.
