CCB Presents: Tim Wolfe and Autumn Carper

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Saturday March 15th for a night of hilarious stand-up comedy with some of Northeast Ohio’s funniest comedians!

This comedy showcase features KC Curry, Brett Thomas, Steve Mers, Autumn Carper and Tim Wolfe. 

Check out all the performer spotlights here!

Autumn Carper is a member of the Females of Comedy, an up-and-coming favorite of Canton Comedy Boom’s, and a regular on stages all over Northeast Ohio. Her comedy reflects her rich experience as a teacher and “cool aunt”, and her dark sense of humor and blunt observations have lit up clubs with laughter from here to Las Vegas. In addition to her stellar stand-up performances, Autumn has produced and booked her own comedy shows, and has amassed a large following on TikTok where she shares her comedic take on teaching.

Tim Wolfe has won numerous comedy competitions, he’s a headlining comic on The Brewery Comedy Tour, and “a staple at comedy clubs within a 50 mile radius of his mom’s house.” Most recently, Tim won the Best Long Joke Award at the 2024 Cleveland Comedy Awards for his material about his father.

He is a fantastic storyteller and an exceptional observationist with a dark, but charmingly honest style of comedy. Tim brings a wealth of material and experience to the stage with a wry and dry delivery that keeps the laughs going through the whole show.

As always, the Patina art gallery and studios will be open for viewing and we encourage you to check out our downtown Canton page for a list of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the show!

A Comedy Variety Show

A Comedy Variety Show

Join Canton Comedy Boom at Patina Arts Centre on Saturday, January 25th for our Comedy Variety Show, an exciting mash up of stand-up, sketch, and improv comedy!

This high-energy show has something for everyone: 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 a new episode of The News Room, where we poke fun at the news and offer playful commentary on current events! And stand-up comedy by Stephanie Ginese and headliner, Elliot Jarrous.

Elliot is a Palestinian-American stand-up comedian and writer from Cleveland. With his love of making the most out of the mundane, as well as his conscientious perspectives on race, class, love, and masculinity, Elliot has quickly made a name for himself in the comedy world, opening for notable headliners like Kiry Shabazz, Jermaine Fowler and Bill Squire. When he’s not performing you can find Elliot scouring eBay for vintage Levis 505’s and mid-century Egyptian movie posters, but he’d much rather see you in the crowd!

CCB Birthday Bash with Bill Squire!

CCB Birthday Bash with Bill Squire!

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Saturday Oct. 19 and celebrate our first birthday with us! Headliner, Bill Squire will be taking the stage and bringing the laughs!

We are so grateful for all the love and support that Canton and the comedy community have shown us over the past year. After more than a hundred comedy shows this city still shows up for us. Your constant encouragement and support has helped us remodel the underground performance space at Patina Arts Centre to create Stark County’s only professional comedy theater!

It has been an absolute pleasure sharing our love of all things comedy with you this past year and we’re celebrating with an amazing line-up of comedians, and lots of merch and ticket giveaways!

We’d like to give a huge shout-out to Tony Ly, owner of Basil and Lucca Downtown for sponsoring the show! If you haven’t tried one of his amazing restaurants yet we highly recommend it. Both are located downtown within a short stroll of the show.

Bill Squire:

In 2004, at age 22, Bill was just your regular old ex-communicated Mormon missionary, trying to find his way through life. Returning from a two-year-long mission in the Philippines, Bill found his voice on stage traveling the country telling jokes as he relentlessly pursued stage time. 

Bill has several comedy specials and albums that have been viewed and listened to millions of times. He has been seen on Comedy Central, and was a regular cast member on the cult favorite YouTube series, Man in the Box.

He has also appeared on Hulu and Laughs on Fox, and co-hosts his wildly popular podcast Cleveland America with friends Tommi LC and OkPants. We are so excited he’s joining us for our birthday show and we hope to see you there!

Cam Godfrey:

Cam is a stand-up, sketch, and improv comedian who was voted “Loudest Girl” in high school. She’s a regular at Imposters Theater and at comedy shows all over Northeast Ohio. At the 2023 Cleveland Comedy Awards, Cam won the Rookie of the Year Award, and she’s only gotten better since! 

Rounding out this all-star birthday bash cast of comics are Cleveland comedy legend and Last Comic Standing contestant, Marty Malloy, and your host and emcee for the evening will be Cleveland comedian, Elliot Jarrous!

As always, the Patina gallery and studios will be open for viewing and we encourage you to check out our downtown Canton page for a list of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the show!

Artsy Fartsy: A FOC Gallery Takeover

Artsy Fartsy: A FOC Gallery Takeover

It’s a FOC’n takeover!
The Females of Comedy are taking over Patina Arts Centre for this one-of-a-kind comedy show! 

Canton Comedy Boom events at Patina are usually kept to the underground performance space, but on March 1st, 2024, The Females of Comedy will be showing off not only their comedic talents, but also their artistic prowess in the very first Gallery Takeover.

Patina’s first floor gallery will feature artwork by The Females of Comedy, and guests will have a chance to tour the gallery free of charge, and meet the artists before being treated to stand-up comedy by some of northeast Ohio’s funniest comediennes. The comedy show will be a one-night-only, ticketed event, but the FOC’ers artwork will remain displayed for sale throughout the month of March.

As always, the lovely ladies of FOC will be connecting with local charities and nonprofits to see that proceeds from tickets and art sales will be put towards a good cause. One artist has even offered to donate 100% of the proceeds from her art sales toward a charity of the buyer’s choosing. 

The gals are taking over the gallery during Canton’s First Friday–a walk-able celebration of the arts, incorporating galleries, shopping, dining, and live entertainment in the heart of downtown. We encourage guests to make a night out of it and invite you to visit our downtown Canton page for a list of bars, restaurants and more within an easy stroll of Canton Comedy Boom’s main stage and the Gallery Takeover.

324 Cleveland Ave NW Canton OH 44702
Gallery opens at 5pm and is free to view
Show starts at 8pm
