Michelle Dominique

Michelle Dominique is a stand-up comedian and world-renowned hiker extraordinaire (having recently hiked for the first time). You wouldn’t know it while watching her, but she has a crippling fear of microphones. A fear she boldly faces multiple times a week in the name of comedy. How noble. You can see her performing at shows all around Montreal and you can attach your rollerblades to the back of her car if you want to go watch her in cities like New York, Kingston, Ottawa, and Toronto. She has a degree in Professional Theater – which is something she regrets everyday. She’s been featured in the MTL Comedy Series + LadyFest and is the co-producer of Comedy on Demand: Lawn Laughs + Lounge Laughs!

Mina Minou

Mina Minou (she/her) is an Iranian-American powerhouse in the fields of visual art, storytelling, burlesque, and the spaces between. A product of the infamous New York City world of back of the bar burlesque and drag, Mina is currently working out of Montreal, city of Sin and Saints. Mina’s been using her background as a mutidisciplinary artist to delight audiences across North America for the past seven years, pulling from her dizzyingly diverse range of original characters. This kitten delights as a slime-oozing flower or a sentient volcano diorama, a clown with clinical depression or a flirtatious ice cream man. Mina casts spells with her movements that leave her audience enchanted: witness the surreal fairytale, come to life!
