A Grand Theatre Presents performance.
The Just for Laughs Road Show is an annual tradition at the Grand theatre. Each spring, JFL assembles a crack team of up-and-coming comics and pairs them with an established host to deliver a night of side-splitting comedy.
The 2017 Just for Laughs Road Show comedians are:
Michael Kosta has performed on Conan, @Midnight, Late Night with Seth Meyers, at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal and also starred in his own comedy special, Comedy Central Presents: Michael Kosta. As a host, Michael acted as a know-it-all correspondent for E!’s spinoff of The Soup, entitled The Soup Investigates. Kosta started out as an athlete; he is quick to point out that he was once-ranked number 864 in the world in professional tennis and earned over $11,000 on tour. Don't laugh, that's $11,000 more than you made as a pro athlete.
