Join Canton Comedy Boom for a night of hilarious stand-up comedy with co-headliners, John Brown and Carter Dockerty, and the lovely Jo Rou will be your host for the evening!
John has been a good friend of ours since the very beginning and we are always excited to get him back on our stage, and this time he’s bringing two incredibly talented friends with him.
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.
