Kelly Taylor
From the first time stepping on stage it was only 9 short months later that Kelly was headling. In just his second year of comedy, Kelly Taylor shocked the comedy industry by placing second in the prestigious Just for Laughs Homegrown competition. Competing against comics who have been in the business for ten plus years, Kelly Taylor firmly made his mark at JFL. His performance did not go unnoticed as creative heads from NBC Universal, Happy Gilmore Productions and Jimmy Kimmel quickly approached with interest. Later that year Kelly did a tour of the Canadian Colleges, and was Named Canadian College Comedian of the year. Already conquering Canada he has now moved on to being one the busiest comedians on the American college scene. Kelly Also starred as the lead role in the movie Sure Shot Dombrowski. Kellys ability to headline clubs, corporate and college events at just three years into his budding career is evidence that this kid is the real deal. Aside from Just for Laughs, he has already appeared at The Vancouver and Halfax Comedy Festivals. Kelly has performed all across the country including LA and New York City at some of the most well respected clubs in the industry. Watch a video of Kelly here!

Tim Nutt
Tim Nutt is a comic who can’t be judged by his cover. Long-haired, bearded and “rough around the edges”, audiences expect Nutt’s material to match. But he surprises with razored-down punch lines and well conjured-up premises that place him as one of the top comics working today. His appearance at the 2006 Just For Laughs was so impressive he was named one of the “Best of the Fest” and reviewers asked “where have they been hiding this guy?” The answer was, in comedy clubs across Canada where Tim has established himself as a top-draw for the past 16 years.

Ken Valgardson
Ken was born in Edmonton in November 1956 to a normal family that had good values. Ken got a degree in Education and has taught school for 30 years. So why did this normal kid dabble in the standup arts over 25 years ago to become a full time comedian and a full time teacher? Ken didn't mean to let his mother down by going to the dark side, but he likes comedy and he is good at it, he likes teaching and he is good at it also. Ken has performed in Comedy clubs for 24 years and this has taken him all across Canada and even to the Middle East to entertain our troops. Ken is one of the favorite corporate comics of western Canada with a very adaptable routine that touches on many subjects. Ken lives in rural Alberta so he can draw from his experiences to entertain rural communities from Bawlf to Tiger Lily (he's done it twice). Ken also has a keynote presentation for teachers called "Observations of a Polyester Clad Chalk Dust Encrusted Educator" that has amused teachers from B.C to Manitoba. Watch a video of Ken here!
