The performance will feature four of the best stand-up comics direct from the world’s largest and most prestigious comedy event.
The host is Joey Elias, of Montreal who began performing comedy in 1992 after losing a pool hall bet to a friend. His loss was the comedy world’s gain. Since then, Elias has appeared in 11 Just For Laughs festivals.
John Roy, a city dweller all his life, grew up in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighbourhood and began his professional career at Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago. He went on to tour the country’s best clubs.
