Katie Ellen Humphries is not just a comedian, but a powerhouse in the comedy scene. As a founding member of The Lady Show and a veteran of the award-winning comedy cabaret Atomic Vaudeville, she has proven her talent time and time again. Her presence extends beyond the stage as she is a regular on CBC Radio's The Debaters, where she has showcased her skills as a writer and Associate Producer, and she has recently released a comedy album, Ladyfinger. Ellen's versatile abilities and dedication to her craft make her a true gem in the world of comedy.

Amber Harper Young, the comedic juggernaut who's been making audiences roar with laughter since her debut. With a comedic resume that reads like a comedy blockbuster, including standout performances at Just for Laughs Northwest, YYC Comedy Fest, Smash Comedy Fest, and Tall Tree Festival, she's the comedy superstar you didn't know you needed. Signed with Yuk Yuk's International since 2014, and crowned the Winner of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Talent Search, she's not just funny – she's a comedic marvel in a league of her own!

Ryan Gunther is the comedic maestro who's been winning hearts and funny bones one punchline at a time. Ryan has conquered stages at Just For Laughs Northwest, Unibrow Arts Festival, and Comedy Waste Festival. His one-man extravaganza, "Leash Your Potential," has left audiences howling with laughter across fringe festivals in North America. And let's not forget his almost victorious moment as the runner-up for Best Comedy at the Victoria Fringe – a title he wears with pride, and a hint of comedic vengeance!

Show at 8pm sharp, but get there early! And hey while you're at it, sign up for that sweet sweet open mic.
