Professional Features
Lori Ferguson-Ford - Vancouver, BC
January 23rd and 24th
Lori has been a professional stand-up comic for over 20 years. She began her love for comedy in 1988. A bit of a fairytale beginning; while working as a waitress, one of her regulars offered to sponsor her dream of stand- up comedy as a career. Soon after, Lori was voted B.C.’s Funniest New Comic and four years later B.C.’s Funniest Woman.
Lori has toured all over Canada and the United States, she has graced the stages of Yuk Yuk’s, The Improv, The Laugh Factory and the Comedy Store just to mention a few. Lori has also made television appearances on CTV, CBC, WTN and The Comedy Network, as well as CBC radio’s Madly Off In All Directions. Most recently you may have seen Lori on the CTV Comedy Now! special called Women of the Night.
Brett Martin - Vancouver, BC
January 30th and 31st
With a reckless style that is blazing its own path, Brett Martin’s Comedy is a refreshing take on Stand up. Martin’s Comedy is straight from the heart and mind of a man who fits seamlessly on the outer limits of life. With an almost confessional style and jokes that can come dangerously close to the edge, Brett Martin’s Comedy leaves you laughing and thinking at the same time.
His resume includes regular play on XM Satellite Radio XM’s ‘Laff Attack’ and ‘The Comedy Store’ in London, England, Martin has also featured in countless Comedy Clubs, Colleges and Festivals. Having taken almost two years off of touring to experiment with such things as real employment and home making, he’s thrilled to return to Comedy and share his new, unique and happier perspective with audiences.Blessed with a spirit akin to Hunter S. Thompson, the sex appeal of Neil Young and a mind gone wild, Brett Martin’s name will be a fixture on the Stand up Comedy scene for now and the future.
