Scott Faulconbridge began his career with On the Spot, one of Canada's most popular and acclaimed Improv Troupe and two-time Canadian Comedy Award nominee for Best Improv Troupe. Scott's unique improvisational stage presence and witty observational style led Hour Magazine to label him one of Montreal's 'most promising' stand-up comedians.
Jason Laurans fires jokes the way a fully automatic submachine gun spits bullets. Dropped in a vat of caffeine as a child, he never fails to light up a room with gales of laughter with his highly energetic and fast paced comedy. Jason rips into popular music, dating and just about anything else using bizarre sound effects, animated gestures and audience participation.
A veteran of years of touring throughout Canada and the United States, Jason has appeared on national television numerous times on shows such as: "Comedy at Club 54" and "The Fruitopia Comedy Festival". Jason has also appeared at the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal.

Graham Chittenden's brilliance is matched only by his modesty. With the energy of someone younger, the wisdom of someone older, and the look of someone his own age, Graham is trying to explain the universe and he prefers to do it for a room full of people. The result: Comedy, good comedy, laugh ('til you hurt) comedy.
His talent was translated into achievements in 2009 when he was both a finalist in Great Canadian Laugh Off (Comedy Network) and runner up of the Homegrown Competition at Just For Laughs. But what does this have to do with you? For starters, you should be keeping an eye on this guy, you'll be glad you did!
