MC: Jarvis Zawatsky

Jarvis Zawatsky is a young, up and coming comedian that has the looks and the mind of a 14 year old. He’s a college dropout and an all around disappointment. However he has opened for popular comedians such as Mike Dambra and Michael Harrison! From his lack of knowledge to his girl troubles he’s definitely an act you won’t want to miss!

Headliner: Lori Ferguson-Ford

Lori has been a professional stand-up comic for over 20 years. She began her love for comedy in 1988. A bit of a fairytale beginning…while working as a waitress, one of her regulars offered to sponsor her dream of stand- up comedy as a career. Soon after, Lori was voted B.C.’s Funniest New Comic and four years later B.C.’s Funniest Woman. Lori has toured all over Canada and the United States, she has graced the stages of Yuk Yuk’s, The Improv, The Laugh Factory and the Comedy Store…just to mention a few.

Featuring: Sammy Ray Benty

Sammy Ray’s like all three tenors of comedy, but who knew light-opera could be so funny? He can make you laugh but you won’t always know why! Sometimes, it’s just funny because, and requires no additional explanation! This phenomenon is known as Sammy Ray Benty!

Twelfth Night is a fast-paced comedy with romantic plots, mistaken identities and practical jokes.

It tells the story of the lovely Viola who is saved from drowning after being shipwrecked. She disguises herself as a man and takes a job as a servant for the wealthy Count Orsino, however she immediately falls in love with her employer. Enlisted by the Count to send messages to the beautiful Olivia to woo her on his behalf, she soon attracts the desires of Olivia to herself, complicating the situation.

Throw in a couple of drunkard noblemen, plotting to woo Olivia as well, while scheming to humiliate Malvolio, the straight-laced steward of Lady Olivia and the laughs are sure to flow!

Now, flip everyone’s genders, and you have Katie Fournell’s entirely new twist on William Shakespeare’s classic comedy!
