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.

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.

Pierre Brault has over fifty years of performing experience, which is amazing for a guy in his early forties. He's worked clubs and theatres from Vancouver to St. Johns, from Dublin to Melbourne and beyond, his eye catches things others miss and his tongue utters what others think using words no one can pronounce. Whether walking to Tim Horton's or swimming a beach in Vietnam, Pierre's international perspective brings it all home.

"Pierre Brault 's a one man hurricane...a towering performance... Excellent."
Tom McSorley, CBC Radio

"An impressive range of accents and caricatures..."
Kate Taylor, The Globe & Mail
