HOST
Daniel Shaw
Winner of Corus Entertainment’s Funniest Canadian, Daniel Shaw has been entertaining audiences across Canada for nearly a decade. Whether performing in comedy clubs, theaters, or festivals, Daniel's disarmingly absurd views on life and parenting keep audiences laughing and slightly concerned. His debut album, "Parental Guidance," is available on all streaming platforms and being played on SIRIUS XM. Having shared the stage with some of Canada’s greatest comedians, including Scott Thompson, Kenny vs. Spenny, and Rick Mercer, Daniel is ready to carve out his own path—or at least find a way to escape his toddler for an evening.

Headliner
Fiona O'Brien
After Emigrating from Dublin Ireland to Toronto Canada in 2012, Fiona began on a quest to stamp out the racism that the Irish face…One Lucky Charm at a time. Fiona knows the Irish are not a race, but she can't pronounce Xenophobia.

Fiona quickly established herself by winning over audiences: A finalist in the Toronto Comedy Brawl, Semi Finalist at Funny Women UK and appearing at the Toronto's SheDot festival, Halifax Comedy Festival and Boston Comedy Festival. She's been featured on CBC's Lol, as well as Sirius XM on JFL and She’s So Funny. A fan favorite at Yuk Yuks, Fiona has opened for Gerry Dee on tour as well.  Her comedy album ‘Magically Malicious’ out available on iTunes and Spotify.

DK Phan
DK Phan is a Canadian Vietnamese standup comedian based out of Toronto.  Since getting his start in 2010 at the Second City Training Centre where he studied stand-up, improv, and acting – he has performed all across North America including Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, New York, and LA.

DK graces the stage with an amicable demeanor that puts you at ease as he delivers relatable down to earth writing with a subtle edge to it. His acute observations come off clean but are by no means friendly.  His relatable and down to earth style of writing has earned him time on Rogers TV, Absolute Comedy and Yuk Yuks stages, as well as a gala taping for CBC's Winnipeg Comedy Festival
