Kyle Radke won first place in the Homegrown Comedy Championship at the JUST FOR LAUGHS FESTIVAL in Montreal. The victory earned him the honor of performing at the festival’s highest profile shows where he was promptly exposed as WAY too new and nowhere near funny enough to be performing at Just For Laughs’ highest profile shows. However, five years later in 2010 Kyle would return to JFL as host of the DOUBLE THREAT club series and was literally 650 million times better than he was in 2005.
This past year Kyle performed sold out shows at the SUDBURY COMEDY FESTIVAL, the HUBCAP COMEDY FESTIVAL and historic MASSEY HALL on New Year’s Eve. He also performed at a lovely COMMUNITY CENTER in northern Ontario. Recently, Kyle’s very own half hour comedy special aired on CTV and THE COMEDY NETWORK to the delight of dozens. Currently, this man called Radke continues his efforts to bring new and better material to the stage.
Described by his peers and the industry as “…a funny comedian with very limited marketability.”, Kyle Radke has focused on being more universal. He is a man with no angle and nothing to hide… except for his numerous addictions and personality disorders.
Jim is a comedian with an irreverent outlook that blends big city wit with small town cheekiness. His Irish, story-telling roots shine through in his performances which weave observations of the everyday into stories from his own life to highlight the absurdities of the world we live in.
Jim's spontaneous and engaging style, quick wit, and knack for seeing the outlandish make him a natural, versatile performer who leaves audiences doubled over with laughter and wanting more.

Ted Morris always looks like he's having the most fun in the room when he's on stage. His intelligent, off-beat humour and wickedly charming smile lets us all know that our slightly warped thoughts are just fine.
He’s equal parts boy-next-door and boy-your-mother-warned-you-about with just enough boy-you-want-to-hang-out-with-at-the-party-to-laugh-at-everyone-else-with (and know you’re safe!) to keep things interesting.
Born in Ottawa and now making his home in Toronto, Ted discovered his love of stand-up while getting his degree in veterinary medicine. While he still spends some time working as small animal vet, his comedy career is taking off and he has found that it's much more gratifying to "kill" on stage. He's been called "fresh faced and hilarious" and "a real gem" by Now Magazine, and slightly ruder things by strangers in the street.
