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.

Join us on Friday, April 17th for a pop up comedy show at CIX Art Gallery and Lounge in Wooster!

CIX is a new art gallery and lounge that showcases art, furniture, and events in the Wooster area. It is a beautiful space with multiple galleries and studios. We are so thrilled to combine forces with other creative folks! Your ticket includes complimentary water, soda, beer and wine.

We’re bringing some great comedians to Wooster. The line-up features Cam Godfrey, Angelo Maneage, Tim Wolfe, Matthew J Farkas, Harrison Poole, and Ben Wilkinson.

Cam is a standup, sketch, and improv comedian who performs regularly in Cleveland. She was the recipient of the Rookie of the Year Award at the 2023 Cleveland Comedy Awards, and “Loudest Girl” in her high school yearbook. Her one woman show, Sorry, I’m Bi, has been featured at Impostors Comedy Club in Cleveland and will be featured at an upcoming micro theater festival.

Angelo is a comedian and artist. His one person show went up at Convergence-Continuum Theater in 2018; there is little evidence this play ever happened. He was recently nominated for a 2025 Cleveland Comedy Award for his writing, and he’s been featured with Secret Society Comedy, Don’t Tell - Cleveland, Snowflake Comedy, Con Tu: A Variety Show, BirderLight Theater Festival, Imposters Theater and Hilarities.

Tim has won numerous comedy competitions, he’s a headlining comic on The Brewery Comedy Tour, and “a staple at comedy clubs within a 50 mile radius of his mom’s house.” Most recently, Tim won the Best Long Joke Award at the 2024 Cleveland Comedy Awards for his material about his father.

This is going to be a fun evening in a unique setting with a creative community of artists and comedians, and we encourage you to bring your friends and family to enjoy the show. Be sure to give yourself some time to check out the gallery before or after the show!

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.

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!

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 us on Saturday, June 20th for a night of hilarious, stand-up comedy at our Father’s Day Showcase!

Grab your old man, your family and friends and enjoy an evening full of big laughs with Tony Bowers, Patrick Madison, Matthew J. Farkas, Steve Mers, and Chevy Terrill.

Tony Bowers is a nationwide comic based in Cleveland. His anecdotal style and boisterous stage presence has garnered him a reputation as a comic on the rise. A family man with an amusing perspective and larger than life personality, Tony keeps audience members from all walks of life engaged and entertained with stories about his family, his time spent living in the ghetto and notes on relevant culture.

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.

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

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Friday, June 26th for a night of hilarious, clean stand-up comedy with headliner, Jeff Shaw!

Jeff Shaw is an accomplished stand-up comedian whose first Dry Bar Comedy special Manly Girly Man has garnered over 10 million views on Facebook and is currently streaming on Peacock and Comedy Dynamics. 

Jeff is a former linguist for the Army, a former staff writer for American Greetings, a former comedy club manager for Carnival Cruise Line, a former humor columnist for Cleveland's SCENE Magazine and Buffalo's Artvoice, and the author of The Fun Dude's Guide to Cruising: A Humorous Handbook for Taking Your First Cruise and Living to Complain About It.

Jeff’s reputation for destroying a room without having to put a dollar in the swear jar has made him an in-demand corporate and cruise-ship comedian. 

The show also features stand-up comic and impressionist extraordinaire, Noah Ryan, and your hostess with the mostest, Kelly Thewlis. Check out all the performer bios here.
