Here's the stellar line up:
Monty Scott - Monty Scott grabs the attention of everyone in the room because he's earned it. Part of the Comedy Records Collective, Monty's performed all over Canada. A rolemodel to both aspiring and seasoned comics, Monty's ability to have the entire room laughing earned him the IHEARTJOKES "Comic's Comic" award. Having performed for Bite TV, and XM Radio, Monty's quickly becoming Toronto's favorite comedian. http://bit.ly/Pf2p6L. Follow: @MontyMofoScott
Taylor Erwin - Taylor has performed comedy around Toronto and Ontario for the past seven years. He's written and performed two one-man shows (Dating with Fire and Perfect on Paper) and has been a feature stand up in some of Toronto's best rooms and clubs including Yuk Yuk's, Absolute Comedy, The Rivoli, Spirits and others. His satirical humour aims to expose the fallacies of his old life as a 9-5'er and failed 'ladiesman. Taylor's training includes Second City Improv, Sketch and Comedy Writing. Taylor currently is Creator and Editor of Comedy Uncovered, a Toronto comedy industry magazine aimed to revolutionize the Toronto comedy scene. www.ComedyUncovered.com. Follow: @ComedyUncovered

He's since performed in NYC, LA and across Canada, and has written and performed on XM Satellite Radio, as well as a founding member of popular Toronto Sketch Comedy Troupe, The Boom. He's a producer of the Twitter Gong Show, The Lot Comedy Club, and has won so many awards it's too cheesey to mention. Garrett attributes his smart, soulless and smutty satire style from working at a funeral home, a dirt factory, and an adult video store. Follow: @GJPartyDrugs.

Russell Roy - With 15 + years as a touring stand-up comedian, Russell's tasteful brand of comedy works "between your ears", rather than "below your belt." Known for his cutting observational humour, Russell's topical approach to comedy is direct; no gimmicks or props, just pure joke telling at it's finest. Having played all over Canada and the U.K. (alongside some big name acts), he's entertained for charities, universities, and corporate functions. His current charitable project hopes to raise over $ 10,000 to aid our returning veterans who find themselves homeless.Learn more about Russell here: www.cleancomedians.ca
