* 5 Absolutely over - the - top FUNNY HEADLINE Comedians
• 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. Brian has performed numerous times on CBC radio's "The Debaters" and festivals including the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival AND FunnyFest Comedy Festival (Calgary). Brian was the 1st Winner of SiriusXM “Canada’s Top Comic!” competition.
• KELLY TAYLOR --- Voted 7 times "As a FunnyFest festival favourite Comic" --- Kelly's comedy is maybe too hilarious, as he connects with every person keenly through amazing anecdotes, such as, "Canadian living and camping", to the "Eccentricities of family life" ... Kelly's comedy flows like the Saskatchewan River, he grew up beside. Kelly has the looks of Brad Pitt, combined with the athletic ability of a quarterback. Don't miss KELLY "Good Times" TAYLOR: "Saskatchewan's best export after Wheat!"
• STU HUGHES --- Clever, over - the - top and fast paced! Silly Sarcasm is rampant and Stu refreshingly never knows what funny he will deliver next! Ride the roller coaster of funny with Stu. Stu is also a professional pall bearer and kitten juggler.
• JOE KING --- Winner of 2009 or 9th Annual "FunnyFest Comedy Competition" --- Joe is an accomplished impressionist, with a key eye on pulp culture. Joe is always crowd pleasing and relatable! JOE KING - "The King of Comedy!"
• LAWRENCE WOLF --- Indigenous Comic. Winner of 2011 or 11th Annual "FunnyFest Comedy Competition" --- Lawrence is a member of the Cree Nation and is refreshingly casual, yet filled with witticisms. Lawrence was adopted by 2 Germans from Edmonton, so he shares his unique socialization and many more hilarious points of view!
