About this Event
Join Canton Comedy Boom on Saturday June 8 for our inaugural Queer Comedy Show!
This hilarious line up of queer comics from all over Ohio will be showcased following the third annual Stark Pride Festival. Queer in Canton has put together an amazing celebration full of music, guest speakers, food and drink vendors, and family-friendly activities. The festival is free to attend and we heartily recommend you check out the Pride Parade!
For decades, stand-up comedy has been a straight man’s domain, but in the last decade or so there has been a boom of openly queer comics taking their spots on stage. This seismic shift has released a mosaic of diverse perspectives and comedy styles and at CCB we are proud to provide a safe, inclusive performance space to showcase queer talent. We have put together a show that embraces the diversity of voices in the queer community and that illustrates the power of comedy to bring people together to tell their stories.
The show will feature: Cam Godfrey, Bob McClure, Monica Hager, Zach Welch, Chloe Jackson, Jo Rou, and a special guest or two!
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. Check out the Stark Pride Festival website for a complete list of activities and events for the day!
Proceeds from the show will benefit Queer in Canton!
