Inga and Dave spend some time in a thoughtful conversation at a local place of amusement.
What happens when a love-struck girl stumbles onto a beautiful flower bed?
Probably not what you think...
When she isn't disgracing the stage with Shoeless, Inga works as an On-Air Promo Producer at Astral. Bringing the world of comedy and TV together is her ultimate goal, and this past summer she produced her first comedic commercial for The Movie Network.
Inga gets a kick outta all things musical and jams with her ukulele band, The Fruity Ukuladies. Check them out on Youtube where you'll find a bunch of covers performed under the influence of alcohol.
Inga also enjoys buying shoes, cooing at animals on the street, and the smell of a new book.
Best known as one of the stars of MuchMusic's hit show "Video on Trial", Ron is a Tim sims, Worldfest, Banff and 10-time Canadian Comedy Award winner and has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Little Mosque. Other credits include Just for Laughs, The Debaters and the CBC Winnipeg and Halifax comedy festivals. Most impressively, he is more than six feet tall, and like way younger than Andrew.
Stan is a graduate of the University of Toronto and works as a Human Resources consultant in Toronto. Toronto is his favourite city.
Stan is a founding member of Shoeless, with whom he's performed since 2008. Stan has also performed with Shoeless in the Toronto Fringe Festivals The Intrepid Project, the Chicago Sketch Festival, and the 2009 Canadian Comedy Awards Sketch & Improv Showcase. Stan is also a member and past President of the Queens Park Toastmasters Public Speaking Club. Recently, Stan performed in the 2011 Toronto Fringe Festivals smash hit The Tiki Bikini Beach Paradise Party A-Go-Go! as The Professor. Stan has also filmed and appeared in various videos found on the internet.
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 works as a barely mild mannered film and television editor during the day. At night, under the cover of darkness, when he isn't performing with Shoeless, he and his wife Rhonda Riche perform as Dick Wolfs. More artistic editing shenanigans and various musical adventures also take place at night, his attention caught in the icy glower of a computer monitor.
Kyra has been acting professionally since 2000 and is a Second City Conservatory graduate. In addition to the Canadian Comedy Award nominated Shoeless, Kyra was previously with The Klugs, Get the Chalk and the 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.
Ned Petrie is a an actor, writer, and Canadian Comedy Award Nominated Comedian. He is a founding member of the sketch troupe Shoeless, the creator / host of The Panel Show, and a founding member of the Canadian cast of Bye Bye Liver. He's been a featured performer for numerous improv and comedy festivals - including Just For Laughs Toronto and others in Chicago, Montreal, and New Brunswick. This year he's worked as a writer for The Score, played a Bear in a commercial, and sang sexy voice-overs for The Movie Network.
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.
Ryan Turner graduated from Humber College - Acting for Film and Television...mainly because it's hard to break into the other industry. Through an amazing "things happen for a reason" story he ended up with Shoeless in 2008 and hasn't looked back.
In the meantime Ryan has landed a few television spots, shot commercials for the NHL, did training videos with the US army, and grabbed a couple of shows with Urban Legends and The Listener. He is from the massive town of Tillsonburg, and hopes to make their dot on the map a little bigger, one show at a time.
Thanks to family, family family!!!!! ALL the Turners, Ferri's and Malaguti's. So much love!
Our Shoeless Alumni who have laced up and moved on. But they still drop by at house parties every once and a while.

The nine member Toronto-based sketch comedy troupe Shoeless has been gracing the stage with their presence since 2007. A Canadian Comedy Awards nominee (Best Sketch Troupe), Shoeless has performed at Sketch Comedy Festivals in Toronto, Chicago and Montreal 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 eight of us? No worries, we’re totally comfortable squishing together. That’s what happens when we’ve all seen each other naked.
