Fourth Annual Red & Black NYE Event
Feature Comedian
Adam Blank
Edmonton, AB
"I have asthma, allergies, a lazy eye, and my last name is Blank". Stand up comedy came pretty naturally to Adam Blank. "People have been laughing at me since I was a kid, whether I liked it or not. I figured I might as well get in on the joke." Originally from Belleville, Ontario, Adam now calls Edmonton, Alberta home.
In addition to being featured on Shaw TV, and appearing in the feature film "Puppy Love" alongside UFC Star Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, Adam has performed stand up all across Canada, including performing at both the Okanagan, and the Edmonton Comedy Festivals. He's also been a top 3 finalist in the province wide "Jokers In Training" and "Edmonton's Funniest Person" comedy competitions.
Adam has been labeled one of the top up and coming comedians in Western Canada, and his laid back, self depreciating style of humour never fails to connect with audiences. "Someone once told me, 'You're very funny, but your eye creeps me out.' I love constructive criticism......"
Headline Act
Mike Dambra
Rochester, NY
Mike Dambra is the smart-ass king of comedy! C'mon, sit down front, we dare you! If you're a comedy fan and you haven't seen Mike, you're in for a treat. In 1987 and 1997 he claimed the "Funniest Person In Rochester" title.
That, in turn earned him two television news stories in 1988, and more in 1989, 1995, & 1996.
Next thing he knew, he was traveling all over the U.S. and Canada making people laugh as an opener for the likes of Howie Mandel, Rosie O'Donnell, Adam Sandler and Michael Bolton, Mike was spectacular.
In his own headlining show, the Calgary Sun says, "Brush up on your sit-ups before you see this show otherwise your stomach muscles will hurt the next day...." He has since earned rave reviews across the country.
