HOST: SUMIT SWAMI

After failed attempts in Subway sandwich artistry, taxi driving and even delivery jobs, Sumit Swami soon realized he would not make it in the cutthroat service industry, so he started comedy as a second career. Sumit has taken the North Eastern Ontario comedy scene by storm. He has performed at many sold-out shows in Timmins and Sudbury alongside well-known comedians such as Mike Bullard and Pete Zedlacker. Being born and raised in India, Sumit has been described as having a unique way of looking at Canada and Canadians. He is also a regular comedic guest on like The Unethical and Private Dicks podcasts. Sumit’s focus is to make Canadians laugh with his entertaining tales of being an immigrant!

Emcee: RONNIE EDWARDS

Irrepressible English-born, Jamaican-bred Canadian jester Ronnie Edwards can make a crowd howl without opening his mouth. But when he does open his mouth, he draws his high-flying, street-wise humour from so many sources that it’s impossible to pin him down. His wide-eyed, good-natured schtick is clean, cerebral and cutting-edge cool.

This “Hurricane of Comedy” recently drew 900,000 Canadian viewers on the premier primetime episode of CBC TV’s “COMICS!”. In fact, the episode was such a ratings smash, it helped propel the series into its current prime time slot. In fact, “the show may have been the highest-rated entertainment show ever by a black performer in Canada”, according to producer Joe Bodolai.

Ronnie also recently starred in the CBC’s one-hour black comedy special “Thick & Thin”, the Comedy Network’s “Comedy Now”, and co-hosted the 1998 Gemini Awards on CBC.

Ronnie Edwards brings a message of pure fun to his stand-up comedy and acting. A former railway porter and reggae musician who sold all his musical equipment to get into comedy, he has kept audiences “feeling irie” for nearly 15 years. His stage act is a high-energy combination of physical comedy, impressions and observations from his West Indian background, and even some music. It’s never hostile, aggressive, or mean-spirited. Along the way, he has opened for Anita Baker and The Wailers, acted in the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Night Heat, and headlined at the People’s Comedy Festival in Toronto.

In the UK, building on his vast experience of playing most of the major venues in Canada, America and the Caribbean, Ronnie is featuring at The Comedy Store and Jongleurs and is now seeking to bring his exuberant and individual comedy to many other venues.

Ronnie’s philosophy was summed up in a recent magazine article, when he said, “I love life. I love the look on people’s faces when they’re in that good belly laugh… When they leave the club, I want people to skip out!”

“A master of zany, rapid-fire and sophisticated physical comedy. He’s generous and open with crowds, cracking them up with a vast arsenal of wordplay, sight gags and impressions designed to elevate the human spirit.” – Now Magazine

Headliner: Kenny Robinson

“The Fabulous Kenny Robinson” is a living legend on the Canadian Comedy scene.

Winner of the Phil Hartman Award, Kenny’s irreverent, socially conscience, intelligent, opinionated and profane style of comedy has made him a fixture and favourite with comedy clubs, festivals, swingers conventions, radio, and television

audiences for over 3 decades. Raunchy, energetic, sharp witted, and sharp dressed; Kenny Robinson is a one of a kind act. Not for the weak of heart or narrow minded. Kenny assaults your sensibilities and funny bone with unspoken truths. The Winnipeg born, Chicago bred Robinson has hosted The Gemini Awards and was twice nominated for his writing and performance in his ground breaking one hour special “Thick and Thin” on the CBC.

Kenny has earned accolades as the creator, writer, producer and host of the edgy late night series”After Hours with Kenny Robinson” on The Comedy Network.  It was on this show that Leslie Jones of SNL and Kevin Hart first had the opportunity to perform sketch comedy.

His episode of the CBC’s Comics has been referred by the Toronto Star as “One of the few episodes that still stand with the test of time.” Robinson has toured across North America, performed in Johannesburg, South Africa and taped an episode of PARAMOUNTS WORLD STAND UP for television in the UK.

Kenny’s greatest legacy may well be his creation of The Nubian Disciples Of Pryor All Black Revue. THE NUBIAN show is  a monthly showcase of comedians of colour, which has been one of the most exciting and successful nights of Comedy in Canada since 1995. This showcase has mentored, and been a spotlight for such comics as Russell Peters, Jean Paul, Trey Anthony, Trixx, Ron Josol, and countless others.

For 2 years he was one of the co hosts of “The Morning Rush” on Flow 93.5fm, Canada’s first black owned hip hop radio station. As an actor Kenny has appeared in such films as “Third Miracle” with Ed Harris, “Down To Earth” with Chris Rock, Clement Virgo’s “Love comes Down”, and David Sutherland’s “Love, Sex, and Eating the Bones.” Robinson has appeared on the CBC’s “Royal Canadian Air Farce”, Showtime’s “Soul Food”, and has a wide fan base from his reoccurring roles as “Jelly Bean” on PAX series “Doc”, starring Billy Ray Cyrus, and as “Mickey” on the teen fave “Radio Free Roscoe” on the “Noggin’ Network.

Whether the audience looks for his cutting observational perspectives, political, sexual or what comes up at the moment, Kenny’s professional attitude and love for comedy will always deliver!

About this event

Comedy Super Star Derek Seguin is touring Canada with his hysterical new show to celebrate his 20th year as a professional joke teller. Derek’s 2-time Juno nominated stand-up is always a pure reflection of his dysfunctional life, but naturally seen through his “slightly” twisted looking glass. This show will feature more of his hilarious stories on the challenges of relationships with his girlfriend, his three nearly grown-up children and every-day life in a mixed-up world that he finds peculiar at best. With barely a moment to catch your breath between laughs there is never a dull moment in Derek’s shows, and for 20 years, audiences have loved him for it… but he loves YOU more!

One of CBC’s The Debaters’ fan-favorites; people are often surprised at the raw nature of Derek’s stand-up… and how short he is. If you haven’t seen him live before; come out and discover the many hilarious surprises that his in-person shows are renowned for. No subject is off limits and no rabbit hole too deep.

About Simon:

Simon Rakoff has been a comedian since 1978. His act is well crafted and thought provoking delivered with the smoothness of a veteran and the enthusiasm of a newcomer. He has made audiences laugh across Canada from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. A top headliner, Simon’s quick mind and engaging personality also make him a popular MC at clubs, corporate and charity events. A favourite at comedy festivals, Simon has performed at Montreal’s Just For Laughs, Halifax Ha!, The Winnipeg Comedy Festival and many others.

On television, Simon has appeared on innumerable Canadian shows and had his own special on CBC. He also provided humorous commentary on the local Toronto news. He is also a frequent voice on national radio on shows including The Debaters, Madly Off In All Directions , Definitely Not The Opera and As It Happens.

Simon is also a much sought after writer and has added his talent to Canada’s sitcoms, sketch and panel shows.

About Thomas:

Winner of the 2016 Windsor Comedy Fest, and featured on CBC radio’s Laugh Out Loud, Thomas Calnan has been performing stand-up for over ten years and has entertained literally dozens of people across Ontario, and one weirdo in Montreal. He has been described as ‘somewhat amusing’ and ‘not terrible’ by people he has talked to after shows. He was described as ‘hilarious’ and ‘the most under-rated comic ever’ by a producer he got drunk one night.

Thomas Calnan is a storyteller, a former UFO abductee, a high ranking member of the Illuminati, and the former Prime Minister of Dublin. First and foremost, though – he considers himself a truth teller.

Through his steady work ethic, great writing, and a seemingly unending supply of compromising photographs of every comedy producer in Canada, Thomas is definitely someone you can expect to hear more about in the future. Or more likely he’ll get frustrated and decide he’s going to be a competitive eater or some other stupid shit.
