Caroline Stokes
Your Musical Comedy Host!
Caroline Stokes is an Edmonton performer + artist that lives for self-expression. Much like her paintings, her musical comedy shows are textured, colourful, and meant to inspire. Perhaps you caught her one-woman show “Caroline’s Got Talent?” at the Edmonton Fringe Festival 2022. She performed in the A-Line Variety circa 2019 and is thrilled to grace the stage once again as “Host”.

Stand-Up For Your Inner Child
Katie Yoner*, comic/host
Joseph McManus, comic
Gabby Rose, comic
Katie Yoner (she/her) and Joseph McManus (they/he) provide a local taster of stand-up comedy, with topics including coming out, sexual awakenings, embarrassing moments, and much more material that has gone criminally underappreciated in Leduc, Alberta. Touring comic Gabby Rose (she/her) headlines this 20-minute bite-sized comedy show that will leave you giggling and gnawing on the wooden lip of the stage.
Stand-Up For Your Inner Child
The 11 O’Clock Number
Grindstone Theatre Society
Mhairi Berg, Abby Vandenberghe, Katie Hudson, Erin Maxwell, Simon Abbott and Donna Leny Hansen
The 11 O’Clock Number is Grindstone’s award winning improvised musical comedy! Based on suggestions from the audience the cast improvises a brand new musical comedy on the spot, complete with twisting plots and showstopping numbers. Laughs are guaranteed.
“An even more daring feat than your usual improvisation show” – Edmonton Journal (4.5 stars)
“They offer up zippy physical comedy as well as song-and-dance numbers, charmingly preposterous scenarios, and jokes-within-jokes.” – CBC Manitoba (4.5 Stars)
