Edmonton Comedy Festival unleashes lineup
Prepare to chuckle, guffaw, giggle, titter and generally crack up laughing as the Edmonton Comedy Festival lets loose with four days of funny from Oct. 5 to 8.
American actor-comedian Tom Arnold is this year’s headliner and he’s slated to perform two gala shows at St. Albert’s Arden Theatre.
And St. Albert’s Leading Edge Physiotherapy is once again supporting the Leading Edge Gala on Oct. 8 at the ATB Financial Arts Barns. Mitch Fatel (The Howard Stern Show) along with John Wing (America’s Got Talent) and Rondell Sheridan (That’s So Raven) yuk it up during this gold-plated evening.
During the four-day blowout, a Media Challenge returns on Oct. 5 at the Arts Barns with 14 media voices delivering their best routines.
Several competitors are Global’s Nancy Carlson, 630 CHED’s Eileen Bell, The Post’s Tristin Hopper and deputy editor Dave Breakenridge of Edmonton Journal/Edmonton Sun.
Adult ticket prices start at $25, and are available beginning Thursday, Sept. 1. For tickets and a complete lineup visit atbcomedy.com.
Strumbellas come home
Canadian six-piece band The Strumbellas put on a spirited, infectious show that’s invited a stellar summer festival tour across North America.
Harnessing an incredible energy, the Juno Award winning band has travelled from the prairies to New York and beyond.
Their hit single Spirits, an offshoot of their third album Hope, has reached platinum status in Canada and double platinum status in Italy.
Riding a wave of success, they’re on a 35-stop tour in Europe and the United States with a touchdown stop at Edmonton’s Winspear Centre on Oct. 20.
Tickets start at $28. Call 780-428-1414 or at winspearcentre.com.
