Tiffany Haddish:
Tiffany credits her social worker for her success as a comedian/actress. Growing up in foster care in South Central Los Angeles, it was her excessive talking and imaginary friends that prompted her social worker to steer her into stand-up comedy. Tiffany has been making people laugh ever since. She is a regular performer at the Laugh Factory, and she has appeared on Bill Bellamy's Who Got Jokes and Nick Cannon's Short Circuitz.

Jim Jefferies:
Born in Australia, Jim has performed as a headlining comedian throughout the world, in North and South America, Asia and Europe. His brash confrontational style has made him one of the most sought after comics on the world stage. His debut at the prestigious Edinburgh festival Porn Idol was a total sell out and one of the biggest talking points of the event. This year he comes to Montreal off the back of high-profile performances at the Glastonbury, Leeds, and Reading festivals.

Paul Ogata:
Paul competed for the title of Funniest Asian-American Comedian in the U.S. at the nationwide TakeOut Comedy Competition. With the finals on Paul's home turf of Waikiki Beach, he pulled off the victory and won the title (tiara and scepter not included). Paul is also an award-winning recording artist. Mental Oriental hit the record stores to good reviews and helped Paul win the 1999 Hawaii Music Award for Most Popular Comedy Artist.
