Back to School: Teachers Doing Comedy
Sep

Back to School: Teachers Doing Comedy

Join us on Saturday Sept. 20th for Back to School: Teachers Doing Comedy, a one-night-only comedy event where the teachers become the class clowns!

Each of these comedians is either a current or former educator, and they’re trading in their pencils for punchlines. Expect hilarious tales from the frontlines of education—from awkward parent-teacher conferences, to rogue Zoom classes, cafeteria chaos, and sex ed. These teachers have seen it all... and now they're telling all!

Your headliner for the evening will be nationally touring comedian, Sam Salem.
Once a midwesterner, Sam is now an LA-based comedian known best for fitting in with the youth (read: making up Gen Z slang for his students). When Sam isn't headlining at clubs and theaters throughout the U.S., he's creating online videos featuring his uniquely laidback comedic voice, reaching more than 100 million views across platforms. As a result, his comedy has been featured on EllenTV, iHeartRadio, and in national commentary on SportsCenter. Perhaps his most impressive feat, Sam faces his toughest audience when he's not on stage: high school classrooms.

The show will also feature Cleveland-based comedians, Autumn Carper and Sara Short, and Marv Conner.

Whether you’re a student, a parent, a fellow educator, or just someone who survived school, this show will have something everyone can relate to.

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

Halloween Comedy Variety Show

Halloween Comedy Variety Show

Join us on Saturday November 1st for a Halloween party like no other! We’ve put together a great comedy variety show for you, featuring an 18+ Halloween costume contest and stand-up, sketch, and improv comedy! 

Don your most creative Halloween costume and join us for a night of non-stop laughter and holiday antics! We will giveaway free tickets, merch, and gift cards to some of downtown Canton’s best bars and restaurants as prizes for the contest winners. 

Tony Bowers will be our headliner for the evening. Tony is a nationwide comic based in Cleveland, OH. 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.

Chloe Jackson will be featuring. Chloe is “really dumb but in the best way.”  She is from Youngstown, Ohio but that’s not the joke. You can catch her putting together crazy variety shows through her production company, which highlights queer entertainers and helps expand safe spaces. You can also catch her sick  breakdancing moves behind Sheetz most Saturday nights.

The show will also feature Halloween-themed sketch comedy written and performed by Canton Comedy Boom. And lastly, rounding out this smorgasbord of comedic stylings, we will feature improv comedy.. This will be an interactive comedy experience where comedians invent hilarious characters, scenes, and games based on audience suggestions and feedback. 

This show truly has something for everyone and we’d love for you to join us at our main stage in the heart of downtown Canton’s Arts District!

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

John Brown hails from Akron, Ohio and has a laid back delivery, combining observational humor with story telling and a touch of his herb-induced daydreams. John has won best of fest awards at Rubber City Comedy Festival (2024), Cleveland Comedy Festival (2023), and was a finalist at the Loons On The Lake Comedy Festival (2023). He went from his first open mic to headlining at Funny Stop Comedy Club and is a regular feature/host at the famous Hilarities in Cleveland. John has opened for comedians such as George Wallace, Zoltan Kazsas, and Brooks Wheelan. This up and coming rust belt comedian is one that you don't want to miss and will surely be telling your friends at work about the next day.

Carter Dockerty is just a kid from Akron, Ohio who started comedy in 2019 at Funny Stop Comedy Club. Winner of Funniest in Cincinnati 2022, Carter was an emcee and feature act at Go Bananas Comedy Club while he attended Miami University. He then made his way to Chicago where he became a regular at Zanies and Laugh Factory and began touring with Jordan Jensen. Carter is an awkward 24 year old who is just trying to figure it all out. His comedy consists of talking about his dick and his opinions. And most of his opinions are about his dick.

Jo Rou is one of the funniest people we know, and we’re thrilled to bring her back to Canton. Jo is an actor, filmmaker, and comedian focusing on the offbeat and subversive. She has written and starred in videos that have been featured on CollegeHumor, Funny or Die, Huffpost, Glamour, E! Online and is a former performer at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City. Her comedy pilot, I Adore Dolores, won "Most Outrageous" at the Orlando Film Festival, premiered at Denver Series Fest, and was accepted into the Gotham Film Institute as a part of their episodic development lab. She has also worked for The Onion, Saturday Night Live, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Jo is also “queer AF” and one of CCB’s favorite people.
