Featuring Asian Canadian Comics:

Ron Josol
Ron Josol is a professional stand-up comedian performing across the globe. In 2000 Ron won the Craven A’s funniest home grown competition for the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Canada’s search for funniest new comer. Indubitably, the most recognizable Asian comedian in Canada, Ron achieved a lead in his own comedy special entitled, “Comedy Now”, aired on CTV/Comedy network and later that year was featured in “Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and The Orange County Comedy Festival”. CBC’s Bill Cameron hosted a short documentary called “Different but the same, which covered Ron’s life as a comedian and the challenges he faced as a minority in the television industry. Ron has written and performed on the Gemini award winning show “The Buzz”, has hosted a television series on the new omni2 Network called, “FLIP”. He has produced, co-wrote and starred as the lead of a short film based on his true story entitled, “Rolling Longaniza,” which aired on the CBC. Currently, Ron is a writer and performer on the Much Music hit show “Video on Trial”.

Tour Hosted By MTV's Gilson Lubin
Gilson is a comedian with an offbeat, innocence! His charming story telling approach keeps audiences of all genders, ages and cultures in stitches and the ladies coming back for more! His most recent accomplishment was at this year’s prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal where he was crowned Winner of the Spike the Mike Competition. The Spike the Mike Competition awarded him a development contract with Spike TV.

His fast paced career has grown in a short time with television credits such as Comedy Now, Comedy Inc., Halifax Comedy Festival, and he will appear in the upcoming Universal Film, “Assault on Precinct 13” alongside Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne. He is currently developing television ideas with Spike TV.

Sugar Sammy
He's smart, he's young, he's MTV and he's constantly redefining himself. Voted as the #1 stand-up in 2004, 2005 & 2006 by the readers of The Montreal Mirror, Montreal's premier Arts and Entertainment Weekly, Sugar Sammy is one of the hottest comics working today.

He has garnered rave reviews, set attendance records and has been knocking em dead across North America and Europe. His young, fresh and edgy outlook makes him an instant crowd pleaser. In fact, when you see Sugar Sammy, you don't think of the traditional definition of stand-up comedian. He explores the dichotomy between his life in a conventional East-Indian home and his experience as a trendy nightclub promoter. He riffs on subjects like arranged marriage and his Indian ancestry as well as his views on deviant sex, drugs, failed relationships and the ever-changing multi-cultural society in which he lives. Sugar Sammy has made numerous TV appearances and has performed at The Hollywood Comedy Festival in Los Angeles, at the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Just For Laughs Festival, the Capetown Comedy Festival and recently opened for Dave Chappelle.

"Sugar Sammy's a comprehensive entertainment solution splicing, editing and evolving as he fuses marketing, pop and urban cultures into a tasty treat for the kids. When you start to think he's all hype, he'll tag a joke to death with all the skills of a professional, creating an eruption of laughter (Hour Magazine)"

Jeffrey Yu
Jeffrey Yu started stand-up comedy in 2003 by winning Vancouver’s funniest comic with a day job contest. In the short time that Jeffery has been doing stand-up, he has performed at both the Vancouver and Halifax comedy festivals, and will be making his first appearance at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival in 2006. He has also written for “This hour has 22 minutes” and is featured on XM, Sirius, and CBC radio. At the end of this summer, Jeffrey will be starring in his own “Comedy Now!” special to air on CTV and the Comedy Network.

Paul Bae
As a former high school English teacher in Vancouver, Paul Bae brought an inspiring mixture of laughter and learning into the classroom. After seven years, he found that it was more fun laughing at his students than with them, and that's when he took to the stand-up stage. Since 2000, Paul has appeared in many comedy competitions and festivals, including Montreal's Just For Laughs. Look for his "Comedy Now" special September 25th on the Comedy Network.
