• Headlined by PETE JOHANSSON (Netflix Comedy Special, Edinburgh x 3, This is Not Happening, BBC)
Pete Johnasson is UK-based Canadian comedian and roguish social observer. An affable, open storyteller whose sensibility invariably tacks towards dark humour and revealing of his personal indiscretions, Pete's a celebrated performer who has headlined festivals and clubs all around the world.
From his first forays into Hollywood after a wildly successful debut at the Montreal Just For Laughs festival (when, after appearing in one of the smaller shows he signed a deal with Warner Brothers Television), Pete went on to work with NBC, HBO, BBC, CBC, CBS, and more. He's appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News, Ari Shaffir's This is Not Happening, CBS Premium Blend, Comedy Central, and slew of other TV shows and specials (too many to mention).
With stellar 4-star reviews from The Guardian and Chortle (among others), comedy awards from the Edinburgh fringe, and described as “supremely entertaining” by The Independent (UK), Pete is currently experiencing great reviews for his latest comedy special on Netflix, 'Pete Johansson: You Might Also Enjoy Pete Johansson."

• Hosted by: Paul Thompson
Paul Thompson is one of Toronto’s most prominent underground comics. He’s the host of Vape on the Lake, a weekly Monday night weed room, as well as a rapper, musician and actor. His energy is immeasurable, his passion for performance incomparable, and his mindset is uniquely honest. We’ve seen him perform a few times, and each time he’s brought the house down. We’re excited, to say the least!
