Comedy

A sense of humour is an essential part of being a parent.

Jared Davidson: “A quick-witted, absurd and cerebral comedy about the end of the world and the greed that caused it. Or, if not greed, caffeine addiction.”

Samara Caplan & Laura Gauthier: “Even if you’ve never been to camp, go to this one!”

Colin Noden: “Everyone left with a smile on their face.”

Mer Weinhold: “This is a twisted, funny, unpredictable play.”

Courtney Merchand: “It’s the all-female Ghost Busters spoof you didn’t realize you needed in your life, but trust me, you need this in your life.”

Jared Davidson: “Elie’s jokes swerve between the cartoonish and painfully true.”

Amanda Dookie: “An off-the-cuff performance that gives the audience a little bit of everything.”

Livia Belcea: “The show is made on the fly and was at times obscure and slightly disjointed. But still funny as hell.”

Nour Hadidi performs at the 8th Annual New Year’s Eve Comedy Night at the Shenkman Arts Centre on December 31.
