A chaotic ND mix of fun and dramatic, she has been affectionately labeled by friends as an \u201cactual factual real life Disney princess\u201d through vibes tho there is no official affiliation (she\u2019s too quirky anyways). <\/p>\n<p>SARAH CONWAY (TORONTO)<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Conway is a Toronto-based comedian, actor, and writer with roots in Vancouver and St. John\u2019s. She is heavily inspired by DIY and alternative comedy, with influences ranging from CODCO to Conner O\u2019Malley. She strives to make comedy shows that feel like punk shows, full of abandon. Her work is raw, earnest, and deeply silly. She finds inspiration in both her own experiences and the dumbest stuff she can think up. <\/p>\n<p>From burlesque to live music to characters grounded and absurd, Sarah brings mischief and delight to the stage in a sort of live-theatre appetizer platter. She explores the beauty in mundanity, the complex and painful idiosyncrasies of everyday life, through the dumbest bits she can think of. Sarah Conway reaches for low-hanging fruit on a sky-high ladder and NO she is not working at heights certified!!!<\/p>\n<p>As an actor, Sarah has worked in theatres from coast to coast in classical comedies like The Flying Doctor and one-woman dramas like The Shape of a Girl. She has appeared on CBC\u2019s Son of a Critch as both Reporter and Local Reporter. Sarah has performed at sketch shows across Canada as well as at Toronto Sketch Fest, Newfoundland Sketch Fest, Ladyfest Montreal, and the Cam Wyllie Sketch Comedy Invitational. Using methods like lying and cheating, she snagged the victory at the 2026 Sketch To The Death competition in Toronto. <\/p>\n<p>To find out more, visit sarahconway.ca.<\/p>\n<p>SMALL FISH (OTTAWA)<\/p>\n<p>Lasers!

Armed with a passable singing voice, a can do attitude, and the odd tinfoil prop, he'll give you plenty of reasons to laugh, cheer, and get invested. Open your heart to the hilarious, often surreal, and always unpredictable world of Cam Wyllie.\r\n\r\n* Cam Wyllie has won Best of Fest honours at both the Toronto and Denver Sketch Comedy Festivals, and is one of only two acts to have been awarded the $10,000 grand prize at the Cam Wyllie Sketch Comedy Invitational.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\"https:\/\/thepointofsale.com\/tickets\/mtlsketchfest2?lang=en\" url_new_window=\"on\" button_text=\"Tickets\" button_alignment=\"center\" admin_label=\"Button\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[19,335],"class_list":["post-13379","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-music","tribe_events_cat-musique-en","cat_music","cat_musique-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13385,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13379\/revisions\/13385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13379"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=13379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
