Canada's Comedy All Stars Apr 28, 2024

Keesha Brownie earned a Canadian Comedy Award nomination for Best Female Stand-Up in 2015. From there, she has made a name for herself on a global scale. Brownie has graced the stage across Canada and the United States, including performing in every major comedy festival in the country. She’s also performed in the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.

Rush Kazi’s debut comedy album, About Time, was declared one of the Top 10 Canadian Comedy Albums of 2022 by Glenn Sumi (Now Magazine, So Sumi) and saw Rush proclaimed as a “Queer first-generation Canadian Disruptor” and “a rare talent” by Parton and Pearl, while CBC Arts called Rush “your new favourite non-binary, pansexual, South Asian, Muslim comedian (even if you don’t know any others)!” Rush has been featured in Just For Laughs Toronto/JFL42, Toronto Fringe Festival, and both Toronto and Montreal SketchFests, just to name a few.

With appearances on Comedy Network’s critically acclaimed The Beaverton, as well as People of Earth, Kim’s Convenience and The Expanse, Nile Seguin is also known as Alister on the Canadian Screen Award nominated City TV sitcom Second Jen. Nile has performed at the Just for Laughs Festival (being the first stand-up to perform there in both English and Frech), the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, the Halifax Comedy Festival and San Francisco Sketchfest. A three-time Canadian Comedy Award nominee, Nile has opened for Gregg Proops, James Adomian, Janeane Garofalo, Greg Behrendt, Aparna Nancherla and Hannibal Buress.
