Todd Glass
Todd Glass
Stand-up
Todd Glass started doing stand-up comedy when he was in high school. By the time he was 18, Todd was opening for music legends like Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, and Diana Ross on Broadway.
Over the following decades, Todd built a career that established him as one of the most original and respected voices in comedy. The late great Norm Macdonald affectionately called Todd Glass "the comedian's comedian's comedian."
Todd's autobiography, The Todd Glass Situation, detailing his struggles with dyslexia, ADD, and coming out later in life, was published by Simon & Schuster and led to him being featured in the documentary "Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution" which is currently streaming on Netflix along with his critically acclaimed stand up specials. More recently, Todd voiced the principal on HBO Max's Ten Year Old Tom.
In the past year, Todd saw a massive growth in his audience, especially among a new generation of younger fans, through his short form skits on TikTok and Instagram. But, what Todd Glass does best is entertain live, and with his newest show, he is at the top of his game.

Chad Kroeger
Sketch
Born in San Clemente to Bob and Christine Kroeger. A true child of the sun. Once the rays hit his baby bod, it became clear that Chad was meant to be on the beach like Simba was meant to be king. So Chad spent his youth on the beach pursuing his passions: tanning and surfing. As a young man, he maintained high stoke levels. But, he noticed that other people did not match his stoke. He then made it his mission to raise world stoke levels. So, he partnered up with his stoke compadre, JT, to embark on their stoke mission. They then went to the San Clemente city council and Los Angeles city council to fight for what they believe in and stumbled into activism. After numerous city council and news appearances, their mission is now going stronger than ever.

Sophie Buddle is a stand-up, a TV writer, and a podcaster. She has just wrapped as the head monologue writer for “After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson.” She has also appeared on “The Tonight Show”, “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, and on CBC’s “This Hour Has 22 Minutes as a correspondent and staff writer. She's also been featured on CTV’s "Roast Battle", JFL All Access, Kevin Hart's LOL Network, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and the Halifax Comedy Festival. She was a featured performer at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and in 2022 had the esteemed privilege of delivering the Canadian Keynote Address on Comedy. Sophie released her first album in 2019, "Lil Bit Of Buddle," which won the 2020 Juno Award for Best Comedy Album of the Year, making her the first female comic to win that award. She released the album herself so you can find it on iTunes in the genre "easy listening", which was a mistake, but it is easy to listen to, so it's OK. Her podcast "Obsessed with Sophie Buddle", which tackles people’s obsessions (from Beyoncé to American politics to checking if the door is locked to revenge) is currently available on Apple Podcasts. She is a three-time runner up (but fourth time’s the charm!) for Canada's biggest stand-up contest, SiriusXM Top Comic, and can currently be seen headlining across the country.
