March 17-19, 2025 Comedians

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.” A life-long comedy fan, Adam decided to "hit reset" at the age of 32, walking away from his day job as a forklift operator to become a stand-up comedian.

Today, he's considered one of the funniest comics in Western Canada. He has performed in comedy clubs all across Canada and he's been named “Edmonton's Funniest Person,” In 2020 Adam was invited to be part of a Just for Laughs Originals’ comedy album recording.

Brent Ayton started his comedy career in Edmonton and, within his first two years, won Edmonton’s Funniest Person competition and the Edmonton Comedy Festival’s Young Guns competition. Since then, Brent has been touring across the country, lofting his unique point of view and observations at audiences hoping to hear laughing and clapping in response. He has also been featured at the Hubcap Comedy Festival in Moncton. Brent’s material varies from clean and relatable to inoffensive observations on edgier topics and is well suited for a wide range of audiences.

Join us for a night of laughter with the incredibly talented comedian, Steve Simeone, who has a remarkable career in comedy. Simeone began his journey in Philadelphia, where he won the prestigious Philadelphia's Funniest Person competition. His comedic talent quickly took him to Los Angeles, where he became a regular performer at the renowned Comedy Store.

Simeone's dedication to entertaining extends beyond the stage. He has performed for U.S. troops overseas, bringing joy to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. His versatility is showcased through his co-hosting of the popular Guilty Movie Pleasures show on the Schmoes Know Network and the pro wrestling podcast, The Rod Pod, with WWE Hall of Famer Rowdy Roddy Piper.

In 2014, Simeone made his Comedy Central debut on Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand Up Revolution, further cementing his place in the comedy world. That same year, he starred in Honda's online Summer Cheerance Sale, delivering hilarious 60-second routines that had audiences in stitches.

Simeone's passion for comedy is matched by his commitment to meaningful causes. In 2016, he performed at Brea Improv to support Operation Underground Railroad, an organization dedicated to rescuing children from human trafficking. He also released his comedy album, Remember This, a delightful collection of humorous stories from his past performances.

Come and enjoy a night filled with laughter and support a wonderful cause with Simeone. Your participation will not only bring joy but also help us continue our important work in youth services.
