She has performed at notable festivals such as JFL, Montreal Sketchfest and NXNE. Her dream is someone from the Canadian Space Agency sees the show and hires her for something&#8230; anything. Please hire me CSA. Her Instagram is @nkasiogbonnah&#8230; In case anyone from the CSA would like to contact her.<\/p>\n<p>POTATO POTATO (TORONTO)<\/p>\n<p>Potato Potato is an award-winning Toronto Sketch Troupe that combines the talents of a diverse group of comedians to find humour in Canadian politics and climate change, fueled by a combination of training in musical and devised theatre. <\/p>\n<p>Potato Potato\u2019s comedy is current, political, and environmental, taking the opportunity to address the harsh realities of our time and laugh in the face of it all. Part political satire, part sketch show, and with a generous dose of dread about our planet\u2019s future, Potato Potato takes the issues facing Canadians today and presents them with a comedic, oftentimes musical, spin.<\/p>\n<p>Potato Potato was established for the 2019 Toronto Fringe Festival, with It\u2019s Getting Hot in Here! (My Entertainment World Favourable Review, Chosen for Second City\u2019s JCB Series). In 2021 they forayed into the digital world with You Can Do It\/ Put Your MASK Into It! (Parton and Pearl favourable review) and Potato Potato Presents: Potato Potato (Nominated for The Best of Fest, TO Sketchfest 2022). They performed in Toronto Sketchfest (2023, 2024 [best of fests showcase], 2025), Montreal Sketchfest (2024, 2025), in the Second City Spotlight Series, and as the winners of the 2024 Sketch to the Death competition.

They have been seen at the Just For Laughs Festival and selling out their variety show Tandem Jump and Friends at Theatre Sainte-Catherine. At Montreal Sketchfest they have received the Best Local Troupe award twice in 2023 and 2025. They hope to make you proud.\r\n\r\nBIG OL' MESS (DENVER, CO) \r\n\r\nBig Ol\u2019 Mess is a sketch comedy group from Denver, CO, but a Big Ol\u2019 Mess show is not your typical sketch show. Their performances range from smart to dumb, leaving audiences cackling and enamored. Each show is carefully curated with original soundtracks and transition music \u2014 all created by the performers themselves \u2014 yet the vibe stays fun and loose, as these veteran improvisers welcome discovery and hilarious chaos within every sketch. No two Big Ol\u2019 Mess shows are the same, but see one, and you\u2019ll be in love.\r\n\r\nJON BLAIR (TORONTO)\r\n\r\nJon Blair is an extraordinarily convincing scarecrow made of mop handles, old clothes and crumpled up alt-weekly magazines which, when properly jostled around, looks very much like a man performing absurdist character-driven solo sketch comedy. It has previously won Best of Fest and Best Newcomer at Montreal Sketchfest, toured at festivals across Canada and the US, and somehow landed a recurring role on the CBS sitcom Ghosts. Also the mop part of the mop is its hair.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\"https:\/\/thepointofsale.com\/tickets\/tsc260508002?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-13513","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\/13513","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":4,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13520,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13513\/revisions\/13520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13513"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=13513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
