With a laid back deadpan style few can match and a long repertoire of hilarious, sometimes twisted jokes and stories, Kris Bonaparte is a proven crowd pleaser.
Tim Mcdonald – @timfmmcdonald
Tim is a Stand-Up comedian who began doing comedy in Toronto. After working as a Professional Video Editor he uses his life experience for a smart, observational, storytelling brand of comedy that makes you think about things like you never have before, and re-think things you have. Tim has been performing for the last 2 years across the city and gaining momentum doing a set everyday at either open mics, booked shows, or comedy clubs in Toronto, Hamilton, Ajax, Kingston and Ottawa. He has been winning over crowds of all types along the way. In September 2014 Tim is part of the Brantford Comedy Festival Rising Stars category. Definitely the best Stand-Up Comedian you’ve ever seen whose Dad is named Ronald McDonald.
In 2014 Tim launched his podcast Back To Degrassi which reviews every episode of the 80′s classic Canadian melodrama, Degrassi Junior High with Comedians.

Aisha's star is on the rise, and if it starts to fall, she'll take you all down with her.

Danny Chan – @dannychanforeal
Danny Chan finds it weird to talk about himself in the third person.A fresh face to the scene, he began his comedy career in early 2014, but is way more experienced if you factor in a decade of angrily brooding over it, but never having the balls to do an open mic.Since then he’s done shows all over Toronto and occasionally gets free beer out of it.Back in 2007, he was a member of the championship team for the Bad Dog Theatre’s Teen Improv Tournament and has a T-shirt to show for it.His biggest accomplishment to date is having a REALLY good set at Einstein’s that one time, so naturally he’s waiting for the big call from Hollywood.You can be sure to catch him at this year’s Comedy Brawl!

In 2012 Darryl recorded a set for iChannel's new stand up comedy show 'No Kidding" which aired in February of 2013 on whatever channel iChannel is. One hundred and something. 2014 finally saw the some success as Darryl landed the coveted "Big 3" Comedy Festivals, taping TV spots for Montreal Just For Laughs, Winnipeg Comedy Festival and Halifax Comedy Festival.
