Canton Comedy Boom and Funny Farm Comedy Club present the CCB Variety Show! Live at the Funny Farm in Niles on Thursday, January 16th!
This high-energy show has something for everyone with an exciting mix of stand-up, sketch, and improv comedy. Sketch comedy written by Canton Comedy Boom and a performance by the Brain Farts Royale improv troupe bring hilarious situational humor and character comedy to the stage. The show will also feature CCB’s comedy segment, The News Room, where we poke fun at the news and offer playful commentary on current events!
Stand-up comedy will be performed by Chloe Jackson and Martin Malloy.
Chloe is “really dumb but in the best way.” She is from Youngstown, Ohio but that’s not the joke. You can catch her putting together crazy variety shows through her production company, Ohio Queer Talent. And if you’re lucky, you might even catch her sick breakdancing moves behind her local Sheetz.
In 1990 Martin was the victim of a hit and run accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. He still has the scars to prove it. He has since been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder which, if not a direct result of his injuries, was definitely exacerbated by them. He went to law school. He has a Masters of Public Administration. He was banned from Morgan Stanley for insider trading (though it was actually the voices in his head that gave him the winning stock picks). He won $50,000 in the lottery and blew it all on lottery tickets. He drives a Buick Century because he buys American and currently works at McDonalds. He is also bi-polar.
Martin's comedy career is filled with many highlights. In 2005 he won Rookie of the Year at the Cleveland Comedy Awards. He was a two-time finalist in the Carnival Cruise Comedy Challenge. He was a finalist at the Cleveland Comedy Festival and won Best Short Joke of the Year at the 2019 Cleveland Comedy Awards. Martin has appeared at The Accidental Comedy Festival and Snubfest. He appeared on NBC’s Last Comic Standing in a straight jacket and was on The Opie and Anthony show twice (as Schitzo Bill). He was even asked to appear on The Howard Stern Show.
In a different world, Martin Malloy would be famous. And maybe one day he will be. But for now, he can settle for the local legend status he currently possesses.
Canton Comedy Boom’s talented cast of writers and performers blend a variety of comedy formats into one hilarious show that promises to be an evening of non-stop entertainment and laughter that you won’t want to miss!
