The Comedy Department is hopping the ferry with two delightfully ridiculous shows headed to Sidney this fall. First up, Middle Aged Boy Band: The Comeback Tour hits the Mary Winspear Centre on 10/22 with improvised love songs, questionable dance moves and pop-star dreams that refuse to die.

Then on 11/21, ABBA-blahblahblah: A Swedish Disco Holiday Comedy Special brings glittering costumes, nearly-there harmonies and festive chaos to the same stage. We’re giving away tickets to both shows or you can lock in tickets now and use the code LAUGH26 to save $8 per show!*
