AVENUE Q is Broadway's smash-hit 2004 Tony Award® winner for BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE and BEST BOOK. A hilarious show full of heart and hummable tunes, AVENUE Q is about trying to make it in NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Called "one of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see" by Entertainment Weekly, AVENUE Q features a cast of people and puppets who tell the story in a smart, risque and downright entertaining way.

The New Yorker calls it "SUBVERSIVE and UPROARIOUS!" Recommended for ages 13 and up.

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 has steadily become a staple in the comedy clubs and a much requested opener for big names like Gerry Dee, Debra Digiovanni, and Todd Barry.

In 2009 Graham was selected as one of eight comedians chosen to compete in the Homegrown Competition at the prestigious Just for Laughs. His runner-up performance resulted in five additional shows at the festival.

During the same year, Graham advanced past hundreds of other competitors from across the world to become a finalist in the Great Canadian Laugh Off, where his high energy performance was good enough for a third place finish.

NOW Magazine describes him as a combination of “savage wit and spontaneous combustion.” Indeed, Trinidadian-born Jean Paul is one of the hottest talents on the Canadian comedy scene. His comedy is versatile and his repertoire runs the gamut from relationships to current events. Jean Paul’s laid-back humour appeals to everyone, making him a favourite at clubs, community events and corporate functions. Not just another pretty face, the multi-talented Jean Paul has also written and performed for shows on CBC and the Comedy Network, and has been nominated for several awards, including the prestigious Gemini.

Trinidadian-born comedian Jean Paul has always had an innate sense of humour. Maybe it’s because of his naturally curious nature; maybe it’s because of his light-hearted view on life.
