SOLD OUT! The Live Recording!
Thank you everyone for your overwhelming response to ‘Operation Clementine,’ which has been read over 1500 times. Totally unexpected. Instead of crowdfunding or doing a large donor appeal… here’s my simple ask: purchase a ticket in advance for either the 6:30 pm or the 9 pm show (or both). In return, not only will you see […]
Operation Clementine
SHORT VERSION: After three years of bullshit, I’m filming my own comedy special. It’s on April 16th (6:30 pm & 9 pm). TICKETS ARE SOLD-OUT FOR THIS PERFORMANCE.

Guest Act Announced: Diana Love! @dianalovesit

We met backstage in Hamilton at a night hosted and produced by Paul Hutcheson. I was floored by Diana’s lewdness peppered with wholesome reminiscences of PEI: I instantly knew we shared […]
Singin’ In The Dark @ TIFF (Oct 4)
This Saturday night (October 4th) I will host a 12 hour marathon singalong at the TIFF Bell Lightbox – as part of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche. Singin’ In the Dark is a high-octane endurance test as I lead audiences from dusk to dawn through a clip reel of soundtrack classics. This is not a curation of ‘best […]
The Ginger Spring
Hello Shawntourage! I know it’s been a long time… but a lot of things have been brewing since taking Edinburgh by storm last August. Of course there was a huge adjustment period after the Festival and I binge watched a lot of Netflix, but soon it was time to get back to work. The winter […]
