The DIY Comedy Tour visits downtown Sudbury bar Little Montreal as part of its tour of Ontario communities Sept. 22.
The show features Herbert Henries, Scott Porteous, Mike Payne and Frank Russo.
Herbert Henries is the only comedy dangerist in the world. He recently performed in front of the judges of Canada's Got Talent and was told by Howie Mandel himself that he is "Winnipeg's greatest comedy export.”
Whether it be by his unique stunts, his solid jokes, or his awkward yet endearing personality. Henries is definitely one of a kind.
Scott Porteous has been doing comedy for almost 20 years. He’s toured countless times. Some of Scott’s credits include The Winnipeg Comedy Festival, San Luis Obispo Comedy Festival, World Series of Comedy, CBC, and Reader’s Digest. Scott has a unique style of storytelling while delivering rapid-fire jokes and one-liners. He has the ability to be clean, dark, and perverse combined with subtlety and finesse.
Mike Payne is a rising star hailing from the Toronto comedy scene. His style can be described as self-deprecating virtue signalling, or, simply as fat and loud.
He is the winner of the 2018 Etobicoke’s Top Comic competition, was selected to participate in the 2018 Brantford Comedy Festival, and has routinely appeared at comedy venues including Yuk Yuks, Absolute Comedy, Comedy Bar and The Comic Strip (Edmonton).
Payne has opened for Martha Chaves, Sandra Battaglini, Christophe Davidson and other prominent Canadian comedians. Mike hosts a long-running weekly show in Riverside (Toronto), called Comedy Appetizer.
Frank Russo is witty and intelligent with topics ranging from the everyday mundane to deep space and artificial intelligence.
Has worked with Yuk Yuks (East Coast), Comedy Nest and Crickets Comedy. Festivals include the Sudbury LOL Festival, World Series Of Comedy, and Thunder Bay Comedy Festival.
The Sudbury show gets underway at 8 p.m. Tickets are available online here.
