I met Aisha Brown, a stand-up comedian, this time last year through superwoman Zabrina Chevannes. Whenever we've passed each other at comedy clubs, it has been a jovial catch-up of ships passing in the night. (read: she's busy!)

"In his ten-year career, Sparks has won several awards from the Tim Simms Award in 2003, to several Canadian Comedy [...]

We had the Rocket Scientists on our show last summer. They had a good time, the audience had a good time, and we knew bringing them back to Holodeck Follies to perform some sketches would be a good time! The Rocket Scientists are smart, silly, often nerdy and always a blast. Their high-concept style plays [...]

Jane Luk is a Toronto-based, full-time actor. She was one of my first improv teachers and to this day my family points her out on various Canadian commercials. Jane was also part of The Chumps, the 90s troupe that produced popular parodies, like their Star Trek show that acted as inspiration for creating Holodeck Follies. [...]
