Launch Party w/ Comedy & Live DJ

The Craft Island Comedy Festival Launch Party is going to be a night for the ages! Combining our three loves of Happy Hour, live stand-up comedy, and a live DJ, we're ready to kick things off in style. 

The Comedy Show will be headlined by Ben Proulx, who will be joined by comics Scott Belford, Juan Forno, Conner Christmas, Amol Suri, Clare Belford, and Macy Taylor.

Ben Proulx has made his mark as a crowd favourite across Canada. Providing a unique perspective as a Jewish amputee who grew up in the prairies, Ben had little choice but to end up as a comedian. He manages to combine an honest and raw delivery, with a unique storytelling ability that creates immediate connections with audiences of all types. His resume notably includes standout performances at the Las Vegas World Series of Comedy, the Edmonton Comedy Festival, and the Okanagan Comedy Festival. You can also find Ben in TV shows including Fargo and Hell on Wheels, as well as in the Oscar award-winning movie, The Revenant. Ben's engaging delivery and relatability combine to leave audiences doubled over in laughter.
