Currently living in LA, Alex performs at the Famous Comedy Store off Sunset. He's been performing stand up just over 5 years, and has been all over Canada - coast to coast, opening up for Shaun Majumder (Just for Laughs) and Jessica Holmes (Royal Candian Air Farce). He's been featured at the Just for Laugh's Toronto showcase and XM Radio. He's been honoured with performing with some of the best comedic talent in Canada such as Debra Digiovanni, Jay Malone, Fraser Young, Frank Spadone, Simon Rakoff, Nathan MacIntosh, Steve Scholtz and many more.
Alex is the creator and producer of the Colours of Comedy and loves sharing the stage with a diverse group of comedians who regardless of who they are or where they come from enjoy making people laugh.
Raised in the slums of south-central North York, Ben Iscoe was forced to live in an environment with parents that stayed together, a garage that could only fit two cars and a cable package that stopped at channel 71 – all this while attending private school. This oppressed lifestyle naturally paved the way for Ben to rant about his upper/middle class upbringing as he struggled through the mean streets of six-figure suburbia. Word! Writing in the television industry since 2005, Ben recently made the jump to stand-up, translating his scripted comedy into observational stand-up. His clean, “Jewish-mother approved” comedy has earned him spots as a contestant in the Great Canadian Laugh Off 2010 and semi-finalist in the Toronto Comedy Brawl 2009.
Dave Merheje is a wild verbal attack of a comedian. His stream of consciousness is something audiences have to see to believe. One word. One thought. And instantly you are taken on a whirlwind of hilarity.
orn a Montrealer but raised a hellspawn, Hunter lives solely to tickle your funny bone and pubic bone alike. A versatile, bilingual performer in both sketch and stand-up, Hunter has convinced audience members across the country that he is an awesome dude, so that he could then borrow large sums money from them. Hunter is a regular on MuchMusic’s Video On Trial and has accumulated a shitload of comedic accolades during his career, including two appearances at the Montreal Sketch Comedy Festival with his internationally-despised troupe 3RD KLASS, performing at the 2007 Toronto Sketchfest, winning the People’s Choice Award for Best Short Film at the 2008 Canadian Film Festival, hosting gala shows at both the 2008 & 2009 Cottage Country Comedy Festivals and winning Humber College’s prestigious Mike Myers Award. Plus he’s huge. I’m talkin’ girth overload.
Nominated for a Tim Sims Encouragement Award Patrick's smooth delivery is something to catch. Easy going and very funny, he gets you laughing at his act-outs and funny thoughts about men and women, dating and gets the girls swooning every time.
