This two time Gemini nominee is a force to be reckoned with. Nominated for best comedy performance, this sharp-tongued comedian takes no prisoners. He can take a one-word answer and turn it into a fifteen-minute farce.

He’s smart, funny and his improv skills are considered among the best. Ian’s stand-up ranges from: observational, to self-deprecating, to one-liners and always with the audience in mind. “People want to be part of the show and it’s my job to do that, but never at anyone’s expense. It’s all in good fun and everyone leaves with a smile on his or her face.

Brian Stollery rarely waits more than a heartbeat before inviting his audiences to have a laugh at his expense. Observational, autobiographical and hilariously self-deprecating, Brian Stollery’s brand of comedy reveals the underlying absurdity of everyday life in a way that’s as scathingly honest as it is fast paced and energetic.

Stollery has performed at festivals including the 'CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival and Global Comedyfest in Vancouver and he is the winner of XM Satellite Radio’s ‘Canada’s Next Top Comic!’ He is one of Canada’s most sought after corporate

Jeff’s clean and clever comedy has made him a favourite at clubs, colleges and corporate events across the country. Having grown up with blue-collar roots in Oshawa, Ontario his comedy is accessible. However, behind his wide eyed, laid back style lays a razor sharp wit that continually leaves audiences in stitches.

Jeff has quickly established himself as a rising star in the Canadian comedy scene, having appeared at the Calgary Comedy Festival and Hogtown Comedy Festival in Toronto. As well, he can be heard on XM Satellite Radio. As a writer, Jeff freelances for several major advertising agencies as well as being a staff writer for MSN.ca When he is not wowing audiences and readers with his incredible writing, Jeff can also be seen in his many commercials.

He has appeared in international campaigns for many large companies such as Budweiser, Honda and Canadian Tire. Regardless of the medium, Jeff is an undeniable talent that should not be missed.
