Comedy from the Rock
The
Newfoundland Screech Comedy Festival presents:
Comedy From the Rock!
The best comedy from the eastern edge,
featuring Snook, John Sheehan and Trent McClellan.
Snook
For over 20 years,
St. John’s favourite quick-talking, hard-laughing corner-boy has been musing and mocking on TV, radio and the stage. The creation of
Newfoundland actor Pete Soucy, he has hosted his own variety series, produced many hit CDs and DVDs, and performed some 300 comic-commentaries for the local CBC and NTV news. Snook won the Kari Award for best performance in a Canadian television commercial in 1996.
John Sheehan
is one of
Newfoundland’s hottest rising stars. He has quickly gained tremendous national recognition and exposure as a stand-up comedian and special events host. A stand-out stand-up at both the Halifax and St. John’s festival’s, Sheehan is quickly becoming the next big name from eastern Canada. John regularly appears at Yuk Yuk’s comedy clubs across the country. “Kaboom!” - Comedy legend Mike MacDonald
Trent McClellan
From
Corner Brook,
Newfoundland, MUN graduate Trent McClellan walked on a
Calgary stage in 2004 and has been entertaining all-over-ever-since. Winner of many comedy competitions, he’s been heard on CBC Radio's So You Think You're Funny, the Debaters, and cracked the US market on Satellite Radio. Last summer saw
Trent's Comedy Now special on CTV and the Comedy Network. "He's got it." - Duane Goad, Comedian
