Jon Dore
He is one to watch: named one of “10 comics to watch” by Variety, Ottawa-born comedian, host and actor Jon Dore is renowned for his offbeat humour and unique bait-and-switch style.
His humble beginnings: was the co-host of the cable talk show Daytime Ottawa (Rogers Television) and the irreverent roving reporter on Canadian Idol (CTV).
He’s on TV and is a host: he recently starred in the critically acclaimed ABC TV series How to Live with Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life) opposite Sarah Chalke, Elizabeth Perkins and Brad Garrett and is the host of HBO Canada’s Funny as Hell, a series showcasing bold and uncensored comedy from the fastest rising comedians at the Just For Laughs Festival, currently shooting its fourth season.
His fun fact: had the honour of being the first stand-up to appear on Conan (The Comedy Network).
Levi MacDougall
He’s Canadian (like us!): he got his start at the Loose Moose Theatre Company in Calgary and then moved to Toronto to begin talking and performing comedy.
He wins stuff: his hour-long stand-up special won two Canadian Comedy Awards (in Canada) and he wrote for and appeared in Important Things with Demetri Martin (in America).
He’s cool: The New York Times Magazine named him one of the Best Alternative Comics (alongside Andy Kindler and Maria Bamford) and he’s been called “one of Canada’s finest young comics” by Time Out New York.
He’s on TV and in films: He’s also appeared in The Jon Dore Television Show, Hotbox, the Just For Laughs Festival and the upcoming feature film Dean.
