Our first online show, April Fools: The Bun and Cheese Edition, was definitely a success. All our free tickets sold out and our comedians appreciated your generous donations. We’d also like to thank our supportive sponsors and we hope you’ll support them right back!

Now we’re moving into May. Our weekends MAY not look quite like what we expected (see what I did there?) but we won’t let that stop us. There’s nothing like a good laugh to get your weekend going! Social distancing doesn’t mean we have to be distant. Join us online for a fun Friday night with a virtual bunch of friends.

Date: Friday 15 May 2020
Time: 8:00PM EST / 5:00PM PST

Who’s On the Menu?

VERONICA VA VIE

Priscilia, under the stage named Veronica Va Vie, has been performing stand up for the past 5 years and has been a crowd favorite. Her content consists of stories relating to weight loss, her experiences growing up West Indian and her name Priscilia and the complexities that come with it. As the Host of Spillin’ the Beans Comedy, she enjoys meeting new and pro comedians alike and hopes to continue hosting well into her 80’s.

LADY DAY

Lady Day is a fresh new face in comedy. After years of having stand-up on her bucket list, she finally took the plunge last year and was instantly hooked. She’s performed at the Bag of Foolishness Comedy Show, Fifty Shades of Foolishness, and the March Madness Comedy Show at Local44 in Scarborough.

Lady Day’s perspective that “it’s better to laugh than cry” is the foundation for her comedy. She brings humour to her audience through stories that anyone can relate to, especially when it comes to dating and relationships.
