OTTAWA (Hollywood Reporter) - Wayne Brady, Caroline Rhea, Tim Allen, Tom Arnold, Jackie Mason and the voices behind the animated show "Family Guy" are among the comics slated to perform at the 22nd Just for Laughs Festival, running July 15-25 in Montreal, organizers said Tuesday.

Just for Laughs chief operating officer Bruce Hills said he is particularly excited about having Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green and Mila Kunis do a live script reading of "Family Guy." A question-and-answer session with cast and creator MacFarlane will follow the reading.

"The big thing this summer is ’Family Guy,"’ Hills said. "That’s a big one because they rarely do this, and that show is one of the biggest-selling DVDs out there."

Brady ("Whose Line Is It Anyway?"), Rhea ("The Caroline Rhea Show"), Allen ("Home Improvement") and Arnold ("The Best Damn Sports Show Period") are slated to headline six galas, with Brady and Allen handling gala duties twice.

The festival also is catering to children for the first time, with the North American premiere of James Campbell’s stand-up comedy for kids ages 5 and older.

For more mature audiences, Mason, once a regular on "The Ed Sullivan Show," is performing his one-man show "Jackie Mason Freshly Squeezed." There also will be the world premiere of "Evil Dead 1 & 2: The Musical," a comedy based on the director Sam Raimi’s campy horror classics.

Brady will be joined by his "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" co-stars Colin Mochrie, Greg Proops and Brad Sherwood as well as Sean Masterson ("The Drew Carey Show") for some improvisational comedy.

Also, British comic Dave Gorman will present his "Googlewhack Adventure," which premiered at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. New on this summer’s roster is "Late Nite Down Under," a spotlight on the funniest acts from Australia and New Zealand, including performances by Colin Hay of the Grammy-winning band Men at Work.
