Mark DeBonis
Originally from Scarborough, Ontario, Mark DeBonis won the 2010 Canadian Comedy award for Best Newcomer and followed that by winning the $25,000 grand prize at The Great Canadian Laugh Off. He’s performed at festivals throughout North America including Just for Laughs, Guelph Comedy Festival, Burlington Comedy Festival, Kitchener Comedy Festival and JFL 42.
Mark made his acting debut in the award-winning movie, Picture Day that was an official selection at the Toronto International Film Festiva
Monty Scott
For the last decade Monty Scott has been leaving Canadian audiences in stitches from coast to coast with appearances on the Comedy Network, MTV, Bite TV and CBC.
Born and raised in Scarborough Ontario, his debut album, The Abyss Stares Back was nominated for a 2020 Juno Award and can regularly be heard on SiriusXM radio.
Peter Saran
Peter Saran has spent the last couple of years crisscrossing the country, performing stand-up comedy at various venues, including the prestigious Just For Laughs in Toronto.
Known for his sharp, quick-witted humour and off-beat storytelling, Peter masterfully blends observational comedy with a unique perspective that leaves audiences laughing long after the show ends. His dry delivery and clever punchlines make him a standout act, ensuring that his performances are not only memorable but also deeply entertaining.
Kendelle LaBella
Kendelle is a Toronto-based comedian lighting up stages all across the city. She’s most often found with a mic in hand… but trust us, if there’s no mic around, she’ll still find a way to make herself heard — it’s never stopped her before.
A proudly chronically-online millennial forever chasing her next dopamine hit, Kendelle has discovered that nothing delivers quite like real, in-person laughter. Turning everyday chaos into punchlines is her specialty, and getting a room full of people to crack up is her favourite form of IRL joy.
Whether she’s riffing on city life, internet culture, or the unpredictable comedy of adulthood, Kendelle brings an energy that’s as relatable as it is hilarious.
