JASON CANNING
In 1999 Jason’s face was immortalized as the whacky, Jim Carrey like “Mr. Paramount”, the face of the Paramount Comedy Channel. He soon became a popular personality on British television hosting on the BBC, Disney Channel ITV and even performing at London’s Royal Albert Hall in front of an audience of 5000. Then came the biggest upset in Canning family history… Jason moved to LA! The minute the ink dried on his green card Jason got to work, starting at E! Entertainment narrating their long running movie review show, Extreme Close-Up and spilling the celebrity gossip on Gone Bad. Upon setting foot on the new continent Jason brought his fish out of water tales of life in America to the comedy stage and embarked on his life-long dream of becoming a stand-up comic. From years of hitting stages big & small across the country Jason’s clean comedy has a wide appeal and can only be described as what would happen if you crossed Jim Carrey with Hugh Grant, hilarious & polite! Jason never holds back on stage and feels life has come full circle now where cracking up a room full of people only brings him more work instead of detention! Teaming up with fellow Brit comic Natalie Gray (appearing at San Pedro BrewHaHa November 7 and 8) they wrote and starred in a half hour comedy pilot called No Talent Required.

If you get a chance to see Bruce not just on Showtime, VH1, NBC or in video clips from a USO Tour, but live and in person at a show.. you get just that....a show. Come on, with a name like Bruce Jingles, he was born to do comedy.

NATALIE GRAY
She hit the stage at age 12 in the UK and starred as Aladdin at age 13 (the only member of an all adult theatre company). When her father's rock star lifestyle almost broke up the family, the Grays moved to Canada where a more normal family life could finally begin. In Canada, Natalie continued to flourish, winning a national modeling contest at 18, being cast as a lead in a teen soap and doing a successful 3 year run as a host on live children’s television! Natalie has since done over 100 episodes of Canadian television and been nominated for 6 ACTRA awards for hosting, interviewing and acting. She studied for 2 years with Toronto’s Second City, following which she had her own successful improv troupe. Natalie studied acting in Toronto, Frankfurt, New York and L.A. where she now lives. A rare breed of comic, funny and clean, her innocent, bright persona and compelling facial and physical dynamics draw frequent comparisons to Lucille Ball.
