JONATHAN DION
Jonathan Dion is a Franco-Ontarian comedian, improviser, and host from Clarence Creek in Eastern Ontario. He began his comedy journey through improv in his teenage years and continued to develop this passion during his studies at the University of Ottawa. Since 2017, he has been performing full time, blending stand-up, improvisation, and hosting, and has become well known across the Outaouais region and Eastern Ontario. Jonathan stands out for his accessible and versatile style, able to adapt to a wide range of audiences: bars, festivals, schools, and community events. Committed to minority francophone communities, he also supports the next generation as a trainer for the comedy competition LOL – Mort de rire, helping raise awareness of the Franco-Ontarian comedy scene among youth.

Eddy King
On the Quebec comedy scene since 2007, Eddy King has appeared in all the major galas — simply put, he’s everywhere! With his calm, laid-back, never-stressed style (lucky guy!), his humour stands out thanks to punchlines that knock out any audience. Guided by his convictions and principles, Eddy is proud to stand tall both on stage and on screen. On television, you may have seen him in Dans ma tête or Les pêcheurs, as well as in the film The Fall of the American Empire by Denys Arcand. Most recently, he was also part of the second season of the hugely popular reality show Big Brother Célébrités.

Stéphanie Morin-Robert
Stéphanie is an acclaimed Franco-Canadian multidisciplinary artist. Her experience has been shaped through numerous tours across internationally recognized festivals, theatres, and schools. Stéphanie’s repertoire includes BLINDSIDE (2014), Coming And Going (2014), Bear Dreams (2015), Within | Between (2016), Eye Candy (2016), The Merkin Sisters (2017), Bushel and Peck (2018), INK (2019), UNDERBELLY (2022), BLACK EYE (2022), and BLINDSIDE in French (2022). Her work has been celebrated by a wide range of audiences, producers, five-star critics, and multiple awards recognizing her talent, professionalism, and charm. Her career as an artist and creator began in 2002 when she was invited to join the tour of Tout Feu Tout Flamme, a Franco-Canadian musical theatre company. Over four years, she performed the company’s original works while completing her high school studies through correspondence on the road. After earning a degree in performance and contemporary dance from Concordia University, Stéphanie was recognized as the most outstanding graduate in the Fine Arts department for her exceptional interpretive skills in choreography and her innovative creative work, which blends digital visual arts with dance. She currently leads a long-term mentorship program called Touring Readiness for arts networks in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. She is also the artistic director of the Interarts IN/ON/OUT Festival in Winnipeg, which will hold its second edition in partnership with Théâtre Cercle Molière in March 2023.

Mario Jean
Born on February 10, 1965, in Chicoutimi, Quebec, Mario Jean is a Quebec comedian and actor. A graduate of the École nationale de l’humour in 1991, he quickly made a name for himself with his first character, the street vendor “Ti-Guy Beaudoin,” and later through his solo shows that blend comedy, reflections on everyday life, and emotional depth. Since 1995, Mario Jean has taken on numerous projects — stand-up, television, film, and even theatre — building a career of remarkable longevity. His humour, often described as warm, accessible, and unifying, resonates with audiences of all generations. Still very active, he recently presented his seventh solo show, Les imparfaits bonheurs… et autres tutti quanti de la vie!, in which he humorously and candidly explores life’s ups and downs, aging, relationships, and the small “imperfect joys” of everyday life.
