(Niagara Falls, ON) May 28, 2024 – Fallsview Casino Resort welcomes comedians Chris Distefano, Sam Morril, and Nimesh Patel to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on Friday, September 13, 2024. The showtime is at 8pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 31 at 10:00am via ticketmaster.ca.
“The depth of comedic talent is incredible and each so unique,” says Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing Niagara Casinos. “All three comedians bring a dynamic flair and approach to comedy that will deliver a night of fun and entertainment for guests”.
Chris Distefano is one of today’s biggest and most beloved names in comedy. Chris quickly rose to success after being named the funniest person on MTV for his show-stopping performances on the Guy Code/Girl Code series. From there, he went on to star in IFC’s Benders, co-host the Netflix gameshow Ultimate Beastmaster, and even had his own CBS sitcom. Outside of TV, Chris has become one of the most respected and flat-out funniest comedians in the stand-up world. Fresh off his appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2019, Chris released his Comedy Central special, Size 38 Waist, which perfectly encompassed both his Brooklyn-born edge and nice-guy charm. Chris’ second full-length special, Speshy Weshy, premiered on Netflix in May of 2022 to wide acclaim.
Sam Morril is one of the fastest-rising stand-up comics in New York City and one of the best joke writers in the scene today. He was a regular on Comedy Central’sThis Week at the Comedy Cellar, where he appeared on frequently when not touring cities across the nation. He was named one of Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch in 2011 and has performed multiple stand-up sets on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late, Late Show with James Corden and Conan. He’s also had stints on Last Comic Standing, America’s Got Talent, @midnight with Chris Hardwick, and Inside Amy Schumer. Morril can be heard on the podcast We Might Be Drunk with co-host Mark Normand and seen on Netflix’s That’s My Time with David Letterman. His latest special, Sam Morril: Same Time Tomorrow, can also be streamed on Netflix.
Nimesh Patel is a comedian and Emmy-nominated writer who has risen the ranks to some of comedy’s biggest stages due to his unassailable joke writing, prolific output, and innovative marketing. Named as one of Variety’s prestigious “10 Comics To Watch” of 2023 and hailed by Vulture as “a Comedian You Should and Will Know,” Nimesh has charted a path from sold out comedy clubs to major theatres. His most recent self-produced special Lucky Lefty about his experience having testicular cancer “for three business days” is his third in the past two years. Lucky Lefty along with his first two self-produced specials Thank You China and Jokes to Get You Through Quarantine have amassed millions of views on YouTube alone with no sign of slowing down.
