Join us on Saturday, November 7th for a night of clean stand-up comedy with headliner, Adam Minnick, and feature act, Bill Stone!

Adam Minnick is a comedian, writer, and producer. He has worked at comedy clubs across the US, such as Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club located inside the MGM Casino in Las Vegas, Dry Bar Comedy Club, Improv Comedy Club, Funny Bone Comedy Club, as well as abroad in Ireland, Australia and Sweden. He has also been featured on Nate Bargatze’s “Nateland” showcase at Zanies Comedy Club in Nashville and performed on Holland America’s “Zaandam” Cruise Ship. 

Adam combines his act of observational humor with stories of teaching, appearances, sports, family, his son and his wife to deliver a clean and 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.

His Dry Bar Comedy special “Low Pay and Disrespect” was released in the spring of 2022, three months following its release, it was ranked #2 among the top ten most-watched Dry Bar Comedy specials.

Bill Stone is an Akron, Ohio comedian with 8 years of stand-up experience, performing in 20+ states and counting. A World Series of Comedy Top Finisher, Bill has shared the stage with Michael Winslow, TJ Miller, Jim Florentine, Carlos Mencia, Rich Vos, Greg Hahn, and more.

His one-hour comedy special, Embarrassment to Myself, is available on YouTube, and Bill will be featured in Season 4 of You See Me Comedy, premiering in 2027 on Tubi and Amazon Prime.

Bill’s comedy blends self-deprecating humor, real-life stories, and sharp observations about marriage, family, getting older, work, and the ridiculousness of everyday life.

Join us on Saturday, October 10th for Oops, All Weirdos! – our annual comedy fundraiser 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, sometimes he’d tell hopefully-made-up stories about eating glue, sometimes he would just read from Thus Spoke Zarathustra. His imagination was endless, his heart was huge, and his laughter is sorely missed by all of us who knew and loved him.

Oops, All Weirdos! is a comedy showcase featuring some of the smartest, zaniest, most off-the-wall comedians we know. In Andrew’s honor, we present the comedic stylings of five wacky weirdos: Angelo Maneage, Matt Thompson, Gabe LaVictoire, Zak Collins, and GW Nell.

Proceeds from the 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 crises, health insurance, mental health therapy, and chemical dependency treatment. 

We hope you’ll join us as we remember our friend and raise money for a cause that is close to our hearts.

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!

Join us on Sunday, September 20th for Kids Doing Comedy!

This talented group of kids, aged 4-12, will take the stage to deliver stand-up, funny stories, and sketch comedy!

This is the ninth 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.

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!

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.

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