In October of 2009, Shoeless performed at the historic Theatre Passe Muraille as part of Toronto Sketchfest. Here's a couple of videos from that show. "Beat it" is a full cast number that we love performing and "Recital" features Inga in a possibly autobiographical performance of youthful awkwardness.
There will be more videos coming soon.
Just you wait...
Inga works as a producer for The Family Channel by day, and pursues acting and singing by night. Her television and theatre credits include the series Peter Benchleys Amazon, the Toronto Fringe production "Monkey Love," the Second City sold-out Conservatory graduation show "Wii Are Family", and most recently "The Intrepid Project" with Shoeless in the Toronto Fringe.
When Inga isn't acting like a goof on stage, she produces and performs original dance/electronic music as her alter ego Miss Teasa.
Inga also enjoys buying shoes, cooing at animals on the street, and the smell of a new book.
Jessica has been performing since high school and university where she won various awards. Since her performance in Flin Flonning at the Diesel Playhouse two years ago, she has focused primarily on independent films (various features and shorts) as well as hitting the stage with Shoeless.
She is currently working on a one-woman short film entitled Measuring Tape Girl.
Jess enjoys long walks on the nudie beach and Cadbury Mint Chocolate bars...100grams.
Kyle is a founding member of Shoeless and a recent Second City Conservatory graduate. He worked with the majority of this cast on Wii Are Family and has performed with them at the Rivolis Sketch Comedy Lounge, Cervejarias, and the Cameron House. Currently Kyle is taking a step back from performing to concentrate on producing and directing films, including shorts for Shoeless.
Stan has acted and written for the Severely Challenged Improv Troupes (SCIT) submission to the 2007 Toronto 24 Hour Film Challenge, The Therapist. He is a member of The Awesome Brothers karaoke group, and has also recently performed in the video for Jeffery Straker's 2009 song, Hypnotized. Stan is a founding member of Shoeless, with whom he's performed in shows at the Rivoli's Sketch Comedy Lounge, as well as independent shows at Bread and Circus, Cadillac Lounge, Cervejarias, and the Cameron House.
Jamie graduated from university in London, England and then moved to Toronto in 2006 to graduate from the Second Citys Conservatory program. In 2007 he won the Toronto leg of auditions for Second Citys Next Comedy Legend. You may have seen him in the numerous commercials that air, including ones for T-Mobile and TSN. Not only is Jamie a partner with Pumpkin Pie productions, he is also a regular stand up comic at Absolute Comedy.
Andrew is a professional video and film editor in his day job and an alumnus of the University of Guelphs theatre program and the Canadian Film Centre's Editors Lab. He has appeared in Who Shot Jacques Lacan at Buddies in Bad Times. In addition to being a member of Shoeless, Andrew is a member of the sketch duo Dick Wolfs and has appeared at Laugh Sabbath, Rivoli's Sketch Comedy Lounge, and The Comedy Bar.
Kyra has been acting professionally since 2000 and is a recent Second City Conservatory graduate. In addition to being a member of Shoeless, she is one half the sketch comedy duo The Klugs, and the only female of the yet-to-be Canadian Comedy Award nominated Improv Follies. Her film and television credits include Death to Smoochy, Blue Murder, the animated series Let's and Go and numerous independent shorts.
Recent theatrical performances include Wii Are Family and Session Players as well as sharing the stage with John Cleese at Toronto's Just For Laughs Festival.
Kyra has been hit on by Cuba Gooding Jr. and makes a killer martini.
After moving to Toronto in 2005 from Cleveland, Ohio - where he had been an award winning actor, musician, and barbershop quartet singer - Ned graduated from both the University of Toronto and the Second City Conservatory. Recent projects include co-writing and performing in Wii Are Family and the interactive multi-media installation High Holiday Office Hours with the Almighty Creator of the Universe (Koffler Gallery/Nuit Blanche). Upcoming projects include the feature film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and the Toronto debut of A Simple Question for the 2009 Inspirato Festival.
By day, David is a genetic researcher at the University of Toronto. He has performed with Shoeless and the improv troupe Inside Jokers at the Cameron House, the Rivolis Sketch Comedy Lounge and the ITCs Cage Match. In addition, he played a dead guy in Domestic which won Patrons Pick at the Fringe in 2008 and is a recent Second City Conservatory graduate. David is also a partner with Pumpkin Pie Productions, currently writing for their web-based series.
Coming from the small town of Tillsonburg four years ago, Ryan graduated the Acting for Film and Television program at Humber College. He also recently graduated from the Second City Conservatory program with the majority of his cast mates.
He has been featured in a number of films, one picking up "Best Short Film" at the 2008 New York Film Festival. You may also have seen him on TV last year, traveling the country as "The Stride Guy".
Currently at 6'0 with an athletic build, Ryan enjoys sunset drives along the Gardiner, elevator rides in 15 story apartments, and pretending to look important in the BMO building while talking in depth to a bluetooth that is actually his sister's hair clip.

The nine member Toronto-based sketch comedy troupe Shoeless has been gracing the stage with their presence since 2007. A Canadian Comedy Awards nominee, Shoeless has performed at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, Chicago SketchFest and Toronto’s Just for Laugh’s Festival. Shoeless loves to incorporate song, dance and absurdist humour to their comedy stylings. Think your stage is too small to fit all nine of us? No worries, we’re totally comfortable squishing together. That’s what happens when we’ve all seen each other naked.
