Called ‘a revelation’ by UK’s The Independent and heralded as ‘fantastically intelligent’ by the Globe and Mail, Heidi is a two-time Canadian Comedy Award nominee for Best Female Stand-up in Canada and has combined her background in theatre with her unusually sardonic perception of everyday life to become a standout presence on the North American comedy scene.

Her dry, deadpan delivery has earned her three televised galas as a part of the Montreal International ‘Just For Laughs’ Festival, as well as numerous appearances on CBC radio, television, and on CTV’s ‘Comedy Now!’ In addition to screenwriting, story editing and series development for shows on HBO, FOX, PBS, FAMILY and YTV, Heidi won a Canadian Comedy Award for being part of the staff writing team on CBC’s hit series ‘This Hour Has Twenty Two Minutes’.

Lamont Ferguson started his comedy career at the ripe age of 17. Having been a highly touted musician throughout high school, it seemed only natural. Lamont''s trumpet playing got him such prestigious gigs as opening band musician for Miss Ella Fitzgerald as well as various Las Vegas performances. Lamont made his first stand-up appearance at the La Jolla Comedy Store and according to him it's been "one long war of attrition after that."

In the past 20 years he''s played everywhere from Anchorage to Yuma and all letters in between. He''s been honing his craft for all those years. ""I feel like if I can provide a good living for my family doing something that I love, then in a sense I have made it… but a pay raise can never hurt,"" says Ferguson. Lamont''s act is constantly evolving, changing with him as he grows. ""That''s what makes Cosby so great, he''s been funny, I mean double over funny for the past 30 years!" That''s what I base my plan on." "

"Frost’s stand-up has the quality of a satanic revival meeting. He brings so much bile and venom to the stage that it can be overwhelming. Frost is at his best when he tempers his barbs with a little finesse and last night he showed this technique off to great affect. Among the most daring comedians in Canada." - Toronto Star 2005

He is uniquely eccentric and one of the reigning kings of "way-out" comedy. A man whose sole purpose is to "slam a stapler against the forehead of popular culture." Darren thrives on hyper-driving criticisms, dark revelation and lunacy. His ability to command the undivided attention of an audience is remarkable.
