Nick Beaton
Nick Beaton hails from Cape Breton Island on the East Coast of Canada. Like many before him, Nick is following in the great tradition of Canada’s Maritime comedians. Nick takes sharp jabs at social and political issues; his ridicule and mockery are often compared to such luminary comedians such as Rick Mercer and Jon Stewart.

Nick is considered to be one of the top young comics working in Canada. He has wooed audiences in Hollywood, performing with some of the top comics in the world. Nick performed at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and taped a segment on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. As well, he has made a number of televisions and radio appearances including CBC Radio and Much Music’s number one rated show “Video On Trial”.

Nick’s quick wit and edgy opinions often generate loads of laughter and he is a fan favourite at many clubs. Nick’s machine gun joke style keeps audiences in stitches and sometimes gasping for air.

Francois Weber 
Francois Weber is an award winning stand-up comedian, actor and playwright known for his physical and clean comedy. Francois will take you on a hilarious romp through time from watching Romper Room to elementary school kissing tag and high school dances.  His unique perspective on growing up with a French-Canadian mother and a Swiss-German father combined with his natural story telling ability fosters genuine hilarity. Originally from North Bay, Ontario, Francois now calls Charlottetown, PEI home often referring to life in a small quiet Canadian town and the ensuing frustration upon the arrival of tourists season.

A regular on the Yuk Yuk's circuit Francois has also had the opportunity to tour with Gerry Dee and appear at the prestigious Halifax Comedy Festival, The Off-Centre Comedy Festival and the Island Comedy Festival in Prince Edward Island. 

Francois is also a high school teacher as well as a sought after keynote speaker to many conferences across the Maritimes and Ontario.  His hit presentation "Slow Down and Smell the Classroom" has been met with standing ovations and requests to return the following year. 

Being fluently bilingual Francois has opened for 'Le Dion Show' which features Celine Dion's sisters and brother as they toured Northern Ontario. He has also acted as MC for the Canada Games as well as many conferences.

Whether he is playing a club or  a conference of thousands of delegates Francois' demeanor and humour always strikes the right chord.

Tickets on sale at the Membertou Trade & Convention Centre box office or by calling 539-2300. Box office hours are from 10:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday.
