Faisal Butt is a stand-up comedian originally from Montreal he has been living and acting in Toronto for over a year. Winner of the Montreal 2010 Comic Competition and a regular comic at Yuk Yuks, Absolute, Comedy Works and Laugh Shop Faisal most recently filmed a ‘My Best Joke Ever’ segment for George Strombo’s The Hour. This is Faisal’s first show with Cow Over Moon and he is excited to play the ‘bad guy’. He also has a beard.
Dan Hershfield is a well-traveled improviser, in the sense that more than once, people have paid him to take his improv and go away. Vancouver TheatreSports sent him on a tour of BC schools, and Second City took it one step further by exiling him to the Caribbean aboard the Norwegian Jewel cruise ship. Companies that couldn’t afford to send him away and thus grudgingly accepted him as a cast member include; Vancouver TheatreSports, UBC Improv, Urban Improv, and Bad Dog Theatre. He can be seen every now and then in various shows around town, if you look really carefully. This paragraph notwithstanding, he considers himself a writer.
