Join us on Saturday, February 7th for Comedy by Astrology: Aquarius Edition!

The show will be an Aquarian comedy takeover with a line-up that features all Aquarian comedians! Every month, the stars align for laughter with comedians born under that month's zodiac sign. Each show brings the quirks, chaos, and cosmic clichés of that sign to life.

This Aquarian comedy cast features the innovative, freedom lovin’, progressive humanitarians that want to make you laugh and think! Expect some eccentricities and idealism with these fun loving Water Bearers.

Featuring: Sara Short, Monica Hager, Amy Wyler, Kelly Thewlis, D’Jaay BrownJohnson, Tim Wolfe, and fast-rising star, Leyla Ingalls.

After performing on the hit podcast Kill Tony, Leyla has amassed millions of views on social media and has become a regular at The Attic in Columbus, the Funny Bone in Dayton, and Don’t Tell comedy shows across the Midwest! Leyla brings with her to every city a horrific disease, spreading it like a wildfire, no one is safe. What monstrosity does she possess you ask? A serious case of the giggles. Her wholesome grin as she delivers not-so-wholesome jokes is sure to leave anyone intrigued, or as stated by Leyla’s biggest comedy inspiration, professional boxer Muhammad Ali, “float like a butterfly, zing like a bee.” She reports “I think he said that…I don’t know, I don’t watch baseball.”

So grab your favorite Aquarian and join us for some zodiac zaniness, complete with birthday cake and a chance to win a zodiac raffle basket.

The Chlo & Joe Show

Get Tickets

Join us on Saturday, February 21st for the Chlo & Joe Show! Chloe and Joe MyGosh bring you an evening of stand-up, sketch, and improv that is, in their words  "queer, chaotic, and completely untamed—this comedy has no rules, no guidelines, and zero apologies."

Chloe Jackson is a queer trans woman of color who founded Ohio Queer Talent. She currently runs bi-monthly shows at No Class in Cleveland, and is a regular performer at Canton Comedy Boom, Snowflake Comedy Club, and many other venues throughout Northeast Ohio. You can also catch her sick  breakdancing moves behind Sheetz on Saturday nights.

Rumor has it Joe My Gosh was once a contestant on American Ninja Warrior. Others say they’ve been walking the Earth for over a thousand years, spreading chaos and glitter wherever they go. The truth? Nobody really knows where Joe came from—but what we do know is that they’re a queer icon in the Pittsburgh drag scene. Known for their campy performances, heart-winning humor, and a presence that can only be described as “divine, unhinged excellence,” When asked about their greatest accomplishment, Joe simply said: “Meeting Chloe.” (This bio was absolutely not written by Chloe. Obviously.)

Canton Comedy Boom Presents: Kids Doing Comedy on Sunday February 22nd!

Join us for this in-person comedy extravaganza! This talented group of kids, aged 4-12, will take the stage to deliver stand-up, funny stories, and sketch comedy! We are also excited to announce that Cleveland’s very own Bill Squire will be stopping by to host the show for us.

Thanks to a generous grant from ArtsinStark, we are able to offer workshops, performance showcases, and a Kids Doing Comedy Tour at local senior living facilities to continue for the next year. We couldn't be more grateful, because it will allow us to expand the program beyond what we could do alone. We are so excited to invite experienced theater, improv, and stand-up instructors to share their expertise with the next generation of comedy stars!

This is the seventh time CCB has hosted Kids Doing Comedy, and the kids have been hard at work writing new material and rehearsing new sketches in our workshops. They’re so excited to take the stage again.

Email cantoncomedyboom@gmail.com if interested in registering your young comedian for the workshops and/or performances.

Our workshops are offered at no cost to parents thanks to ArtsinStark. There’s no pressure to perform, kids are welcome to attend the workshops without committing to performing on the day of the show. If you have a theater kid who loves to make a room laugh, this is a unique opportunity for them to experiment with both theater and comedy in a safe and supportive environment.

Kids Doing Comedy is a great way to support young talent and enjoy an afternoon of family-friendly entertainment.

The Second April Studios will be open, and we encourage you to visit our website for a list of restaurants and shops within walking distance of the show!

Join us on Saturday, March 28th for our Comedy Variety Show, an exciting mash up of stand-up, sketch, improv  & musical comedy!

This high-energy show has something for everyone, with sketch comedy written by Canton Comedy Boom and improv games with The Colleagues. These quick-witted performers create hilarious situational humor and character comedy based on audience suggestions. The show includes a new episode of the News Room, where we poke fun at the news!

The show also features musical comedy by Zak Collins, and stand-up comedy by Noah Ryan and Daniel P. Myers.

Noah Ryan is a vocal chameleon with over 200 spot-on impressions, turning every show into a one-man parade of voices. From uncanny celebrity mimics to wild original characters, his comedy is a rollercoaster of laughs. Noah has shared the stage with impression legend Frank Caliendo, featured for Chris Higgins, and even wowed audiences on The Today Show Australia.

Daniel P. Myers is, to put it simply, a bit of an outlier. He is one to stroll through the dirt paths in the deeply wooded areas of Ohio writing, collecting his thoughts and ruminating on another strange theory. He has performed at the Funny Stop, Funny Farm, the Hilton Head Comedy Magic Cabaret, the Cleveland Comedy Festival and at Hilarities. But probably his most breathtaking achievement of all, depending on who you ask, is that he might have failed kindergarten.

CCB Presents: Marcus Martin

Get Tickets

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Saturday, April 18th for a night of hilarious stand-up comedy with one of Stark County’s fastest-rising stars!

Marcus Martin is a two-time Ohio Comedian of the Year (Ohio Entertainment Awards) whose real, raw, and hilarious storytelling has made him a national crowd favorite. He’s opened for Ryan Davis, Eddie Griffin, D.L. Hughley, and Gary Owen, and his stand-up specials are available on YouTube under “Comedian Marcus Martin.” He is the consummate performer, but don’t let his charm disarm you, Marcus is a killer on the stage, and we are thrilled to book him as a headliner!

The show also features Tyrone Gaines, G.W. Nell and Hendoh, two of Northeast Ohio’s funniest working comics.

Tyrone Gaines has a smooth, yet rapid-fire delivery that eliminates the fluff and gets right to the funny. His insightful, quick-witted takes on life and relationships are what make his stand-up stand out. He's performed with some of the legends in comedy, including Charles Walden, Dominique, Kenny Howell, Tony Tone, Rodney Perry, Mike Bonner, Damon Williams and Shang Forbes.

G.W. Nell is high energy, bawdy, and self-deprecating with an act that is as obscene as it is confident. G.W. captivates crowds with her trademark vulnerability, raunchy honesty, and wild antics. She’s a member of the Females of Comedy, and has been filling rooms with laughter in multiple states for years.

Hendoh is a true Buckeye State native who brings a refreshing style of satire to the stage. His past life experiences as a combat veteran and African American parent bring an interesting perspective to the chaos of the day-to-day. Hendoh’s act highlights disparity with a disgruntlement that is multiculturally and multigenerationally relatable.

As always, the Second April gallery and shops will be open prior to the show, and we encourage you to visit our website for a list of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the show!

Bill Boronkay with Nick Dlouhy

Get Tickets

Join us on Saturday, May 2nd for a night of hilarious stand-up comedy with headliner, Bill Boronkay and feature, Nick Dlouhy!

Whether on radio, television or stage, Bill Boronkay makes an impression. One radio station, two television stations, and three major cruise lines have all fired him.

Told he'd never make it in television, Boronkay won five Emmy Awards during his sportscasting and hosting career. When his television life stalled, Bill started a career in comedy, a journey that's taken him around the world, hosting the nationally syndicated "Cruise-In" which airs on the FanDuel, Rev'n and Fun Roads networks. In 2017, Bill was selected to host the Great Lakes Region Emmy Awards, where he got to honor the people who a few years before, fired him.

Bill's been heard on Sirius/XM, ESPN Radio, Bob & Tom and various radio stations across the country.

In 2020, Dry Bar Comedy released Bill’s first stand-up special, which continues to gain views globally. He’s been seen on Comedy Dynamics, Funny or Die, featured on ComicSeen and performs everywhere from clubs, cruise ships, colleges, corporate and church events to a tour of Pennsylvania prisons (where he was heckled by a service dog.) Bill continues to do what he's learned as a childless, never-married, middle-aged man–at least until his next termination.

Nick Dlouhy is a stand-up comedian based in Cleveland. He graduated from the IO Improvisation program in Chicago and hosted at The Second City's Training Center. Nick combines self-deprecation with weirdness into an energizing act. His stand-up includes jokes about being a new dad, bullying, and scratching his mom’s back. Nick has run shows in support of our veterans (so he's a great person!) and in support of himself (a great person with material needs.) Nick has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland and clubs nationwide.

It’s going to be a fun night, so grab your friends and family and get your tickets now!

As always, the Second April gallery and shops will be open prior to the show, and we encourage you to visit our website for a list of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the show!

Canton Comedy Boom Presents: Kids Doing Comedy on Sunday, May 17th!

Join us for this in-person comedy extravaganza! This talented group of kids, aged 4-12, will take the stage to deliver stand-up, funny stories, and sketch comedy!

Thanks to a generous grant from ArtsinStark, we are able to offer workshops, performance showcases, and a Kids Doing Comedy Tour at local senior living facilities to continue for the next year. We couldn't be more grateful, because it will allow us to expand the program beyond what we could do alone. We are so excited to invite experienced theater, improv, and stand-up instructors to share their expertise with the next generation of comedy stars!

This is the eighth time CCB has hosted Kids Doing Comedy, and the kids have been hard at work writing new material and rehearsing new sketches in our workshops. They’re so excited to take the stage again.

Email cantoncomedyboom@gmail.com if interested in registering your young comedian for the workshops and/or performances.

Our workshops are offered at no cost to parents thanks to ArtsinStark. There’s no pressure to perform, kids are welcome to attend the workshops without committing to performing on the day of the show. If you have a theater kid who loves to make a room laugh, this is a unique opportunity for them to experiment with both theater and comedy in a safe and supportive environment.

Kids Doing Comedy is a great way to support young talent and enjoy an afternoon of family-friendly entertainment.

The Second April Studios will be open, and we encourage you to visit our website for a list of restaurants and shops within walking distance of the show!

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Friday, June 19th for a night of hilarious, clean stand-up comedy with headliner, Adam Minnick!

Adam Minnick is a comedian, writer, and producer who has worked at comedy clubs across the US, and in Ireland, Australia, and Sweden. He was also featured in Nate Bargatze’s “Nateland” showcase at Zanies in Nashville, and his Dry Bar Comedy special, “Low Pay and Disrespect” reached the top ten most-watched list three months after its release.

Adam combines his act of observational humor with stories of teaching, appearances, sports, family, and his son and wife to deliver a clean, intelligent act that entertains and engages audiences of all ages. Adam’s unique view on life is due in no small part to having spent much of his youth in the small town of Napoleon, Ohio and Perth, Australia and traveling everywhere in-between.

Opening and feature acts to be announced soon.

Patrick Madison: A Live Comedy Special Taping

Get Tickets

Join us on Saturday, January 10th for a very special evening of stand-up comedy with one of our absolute favorite comedians, Patrick Madison. We are so honored that Pat chose our main stage to record his first comedy special, and we hope you’ll come out and show some love for one of the hardest working comics in the scene today. 

Pat will take the stage at 7pm and 9pm. Grab your friends, especially the ones with the loudest laughs, and help us make this a show to remember!

Pat staggered into the comedy scene in 2017, grinding his way from one bar basement to the next, slowly but surely climbing the ranks to become a mainstay in the Middle America comedy circuit. With his clever, quirky, and brutally honest style, he has become a fixture at Funny Farm and Funny Stop, where audiences connect with his embarrassing and relatable humor.

Taking his comedy nationwide, Patrick launched the Double Chuckle Comedy Tour, bringing his unique brand of humor to over 200 cities across the United States. His dedication to the craft and relentless touring schedule earned him a feature in a best-selling book about road comics, and multiple Cleveland Comedy Award nominations, solidifying his place among the hardest-working comedians in the industry.

As always, the  Second April Studios will be open prior to the show, and we encourage you to visit our website for a list of restaurants and shops within walking distance of the show!

Bill has several comedy specials and albums that have been viewed and listened to millions of times. He has been seen on Comedy Central, and has appeared on tv shows like Laughs on Fox and Hulu. From 2013 to 2024 Bill co-hosted The Alan Cox Show, an afternoon drive talk show on 100.7 WMMS in Cleveland.

He has become a part of a larger family of millions of devoted listeners/viewers on iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, Pandora, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher. He also co-hosts his wildly popular podcast Cleveland America with friends Tommi LC and OkPants.

Bill is bringing two of Cleveland’s funniest comedians and showrunners, Alex MacLeod and Brett Thomas. Check out all the performer bios here.

Canton Comedy Boom Presents: Kids Doing Comedy on Sunday November 16th!

Join us for this in-person comedy extravaganza! This talented group of kids, aged 4-12, will take the stage to deliver stand-up, funny stories, and sketch comedy!

Thanks to a generous grant from ArtsinStark, we are able to offer workshops, performance showcases, and a Kids Doing Comedy Tour at local senior living facilities to continue for the next year. We couldn't be more grateful, because it will allow us to expand the program beyond what we could do alone. We are so excited to invite experienced theater, improv, and stand-up instructors to share their expertise with the next generation of comedy stars!

This is the sixth time CCB has hosted Kids Doing Comedy, and the kids have been hard at work writing new material and rehearsing new sketches in our workshops. They’re so excited to take the stage again.

E mail cantoncomedyboom@gmail.com if interested in registering your young comedian for the workshops and/or performances.

Our workshops are offered at no cost to parents thanks to ArtsinStark. There’s no pressure to perform, kids are welcome to attend the workshops without performing on the day of the show. If you have a theater kid who loves to make a room laugh, this is a unique opportunity for them to experiment with both theater and comedy in a safe and supportive environment.

Kids Doing Comedy is a great way to support young talent and enjoy an afternoon of family-friendly entertainment.

As always, we encourage you to visit our website for a list of restaurants and shops within walking distance of the show!

Oops! All Weirdos: A Comedy Fundraiser

Get Tickets

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Saturday, November 8th for Oops! All Weirdos – a comedy show dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and fellow performer, Andrew Burge.

Andrew was one of the wildest, weirdest, and most wonderful comedians. Audiences never knew what to expect when he took the stage. Sometimes he’d sing goofy songs about his crushes on fast food mascots, sometimes he’d tell hopefully-made-up stories about eating glue to make his poop sticky, and sometimes he’d just get up and start reading from Thus Spoke Zarathustra. He called himself Dr. Yogurt and wrote his own theme song. His imagination was endless, his heart was huge, and his laughter is sorely missed by all of us here at CCB.

A few months ago, Andrew helped us come up with a show specifically built for comedians like him, who made their audiences hold their breath to see what they’d come up with next. Sadly, Andrew passed away before he was able to see the show come to fruition. It is with the blessing of his closest friends and family that the show goes on.

Oops! All Weirdos is a comedy showcase featuring some of the smartest, zaniest, most absurd and off-the-wall comedians we know. In Andrew’s honor, we present the comedic stylings of four wacky minds he was excited to work with – Gabe Lavictoire, Jo Rou, Angelo Maneage, and Dezhawn France – who are sure to bring us laughs in the most unexpected form. 

Proceeds from this show will benefit the Burge family’s charity of choice, Comedy Gives Back, a non-profit organization that provides grants to stand-up comedians for financial crisis, mental health therapy, and chemical dependency treatment. 

We hope you’ll join us as we honor our friend and raise money for this great cause.

As always, the Second April gallery and shops will be open prior to the show, and we encourage you to visit our website for a list of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the show!
