Mike Capobianco

Mike Capobianco is a comedian from Kingston Ontario, who got into the scene a bit later than most. While he only has a handful of spots under his belt, his energetic approach to his antecdotes is sure to make you laugh! Or, at the very least, exhale loudly from your nostrils."

Ryan James

Coming soon.

Hannan Muyson

Hannah is a multifaceted artist from Madawaska, Ontario. As a writer and spoken word artist, her comedy weaves humorous kinship-based narratives. She explores the wry intimacy of human behavior through commentary on the absurdities of everyday life.

Mohammed Hussein

I've lived in Kingston all my life. I'm a second generation restaurant operator has I have been involved with the Jiffy Grill since 1992. I've been a part of the stand up comedy community in Kingston since 2011, where I have been an opening act for some of Canada's brightest comedians.

Will Reynolds

Originally from Kingston, Will Reynolds moved to Gananoque with his family in 2020. His burgeoning stand-up career started last year at an amateur competition to find ‘Gananoque’s Funniest Person.’ Since then, he’s been honing his craft in theatres, bars and small halls throughout Eastern Ontario. His dry delivery and dark wit has proved popular with those who appreciate the humour in life’s unpleasantries. When he’s not practicing his routine into a lint roller for his patient wife, he works as a chef in an Italian restaurant in downtown Kingston.

Patrick Hellyer

I’m Patrick Hellyer, a towering 6-foot-2 bundle of raw, raunchy comedy, and if you’re looking for someone who’s loud, borderline offensive, and capable of making you laugh while questioning your life choices—then I’m your guy. Oh, and did I mention I’m ginger? That’s right, I’ve got great hair, and by "great," I mean it’s a flaming symbol of my fiery wit and, let’s be honest, an odd source of my comedy power.

My style is a mixture of lowbrow humor and absolutely no filter. I yell, I shout, I might make you uncomfortable—and that’s exactly the point. I’ve been told I’m like the comedy equivalent of a hot dog on a rollercoaster: big, sloppy, and surprisingly exhilarating once you strap in.

Now, a little about myself: I’m not your typical “stand-up guy.” For one, I’m overweight. This is not just a joke about my body; it’s a lifestyle choice. You see, I have perfected the art of squeezing humor out of every extra pound, every crease, and every awkward moment where I bend over to tie my shoe and feel like I’m auditioning for a role in a "Lord of the Rings" movie. If you’re looking for a comic who can make fat jokes that aren’t tired or boring, look no further. I'm basically the human embodiment of "Dad Bod" if it got caught in a windstorm.

In addition to my massive physical presence, I might also have been inbred—at least that’s what my family tells me when I yell at them for not laughing at my jokes. But hey, we all have our quirks, right? Some people are talented, and some of us are just genetically predisposed to being hilarious because the universe threw a few too many chromosomes my way.

But seriously (though not really), my comedy is for people who like their humor unfiltered, unpolished, and just a little bit dangerous. If you enjoy the rawness of comedy that feels like it’s teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown but always lands on a punchline, then I’m your guy.

So, if you're ready for a red-haired, heavy-set, and loud-as-hell comic who will make you laugh until you're questioning your own genetic makeup, I’d be honored to take the stage at Homegrown Live.

Looking forward to making you laugh... and maybe cringe a little.

Noah Robertson

Noah Robertson started stand up when he was 16 pre Covid in Toronto but got back into it as a queens student in first year university and does shows in Kingston, Ottawa and Toronto.

Will Curley

Will Curley is a stand-up comedian whose unique mix of self deprecation and goofy lifestyle has made him one of the best new acts in comedy. He's opened for Dave Merheje, Steve Hofstetter, among others. When not on stage, he can be found discussing the future with his cat.

Al Babcock

Al Babcock is a comedian based in Kingston and Oshawa Ontario, known for his unique style and engaging presence in any local comedy scene. He began his career in 2016 at Absolute Comedy and quickly made a name for himself, performing at various venues across Ontario. Al has shared the stage with well-known acts like Ari Shaffir, Luis J Gomez, Trailer Park Boys, and the Insane Clown Posse. He is also the owner of AB3Comedy, which has produced over 200 shows in Kingston and its surrounding areas.
