A unique comedy show is hitting a local comic book publisher’s studio and breaking the mould in Windsor.

Numerous local comedians will be appearing at the Glass Monkey Studio. What’s unique about the event is the large line-up of performers coming to the show. Typical comedy nights have 3-7 acts set up. A Night of Comedy will feature 14 stand-up artists two of which will also be doing musical performances.

Many well-known Windsor comics will be appearing such as Jon Peladeau, second place winner at the Border City Comedy Fest and Josh Haddon, manager of Rockhead Pub’s Comedy Quarry.
“The Glass Monkey is not going to be like any show that’s ever come to Windsor,” said Jon Paladeau, comedian of five years. “It’s not going to be like your typical show where you’ll be staring at the same three guys for an hour, it’s going to have variety.”

Peladeau said the comedy night would not be possible without the show’s host and planner, Chris Mailloux who entered the comedy scene just over three months ago. Mailloux said he has had this night in the works for a since the end of August. He first performed at Milk Café’s Laughing over Lattes where he watched how other comics conducted themselves on stage.

“As each one of them went up, I became more relaxed,” said Mailloux.

Robert Kemeny, another veteran comedian headlining Glass Monkey said the show is a great place for new comedians to network. He also said if you want to get into comedy, just do it.
“Write five minutes of stand-up, find an open-mic and if you like it you’ll be hooked,” said Kemeny.

Mailloux also said the comedy scene has been growing for the last few years. Paladeau added that more experienced comics have been very welcoming to new people entering the comedy world. The deaths of Robin Williams and Joan Rivers may also have drawn more attention to the comedy world, In Mailloux’s opinion.

The Glass Monkey is located at 1378 Ottawa St. The show starts at 8 p.m.
