Winnipeg Comedy Festival

This huge comedy festival has been a hit for over 15 years and shows no signs of slowing down. Venues are located throughout the city and include the Pantages Playhouse Theatre, Gas Station Arts Centre, The Park Theatre, Millennium Library, Rumor's Comedy Club, CCFM, Fusion Grill, Metropolitan Entertainment Centre, McNally Robinson, Jekyll & Hyde's Freehouse and Club Regent Event Centre. Tickets have to be purchased per event for this festival as there are just too many shows for one person to attend and should be purchased in advance. There are free events at this festival although most of them are held in the library; don’t count on being quiet! Tickets for other shows range from $5 to $150, which sometimes include dinner and drinks. Some of the most popular performers include Louie Anderson, Sean Cullen and Mary Walsh. Prepare to get the giggles more than once or twice when attending this awesome festival, heck it even gets played on the radio and TV, its just that good.
