The Canton Comedy Boom Variety Show

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Saturday, June 27th 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 performed by Cranberries, Baby! and improv games with The Colleagues. These quick-witted performers create hilarious situational humor and character comedy based on audience suggestions. The show will also feature a new episode of the News Room, where we poke fun at the news!

The show features musical comedy, and stand-up comedy by Justin Palko and John Brown.

John Brown is a comedian hailing from Akron, Ohio who has been performing all over the Midwest for years. He has a laid back delivery, combining observational humor with story telling and a touch of his herb-induced day dreams. 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 downtown 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.

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 our theater!
