After the tragedy and stress of a global pandemic spanning a year-and-a-half-long, itâs about time we enjoyed a laugh.
However, the question of when live entertainment would return to the stage has been hanging over many of us. Luckily for those in the Okanagan the answer is finally here â six comedy shows are being announced for July.
Rob Balsdon, owner of Train Wreck Comedy in Âé¶čAV, said he thinks people canât wait to get out and laugh again.
âThe entertainment industry took it on the chin through COVID-19, but focusing on what has happened isnât going to change it. I know all the comedians that I work with are just excited to get back on track and start making people laugh again,â said Balsdon.
Train Wreck Comedy will run shows over three nights from July 8 to 10. One of Canadaâs top comedians, Byron Bertram, will grace the stage when comedy returns to action in July. Byron has worked with the likes of Zach Galifinakis, Flight of the Concords, and Eddie Izzard.
âHe was a big hit with the judges on Britainâs Got Talent and has also been seen on ABCâs Once Upon a Time, Dirks Gently, Riverdale, and heard regularly on SiriusXM,â explained Balsdon.
Byron has been working with Train Wreck Comedy for the last seven years and is best known by many people in the Okanagan for his role as the melodramatic, sick husband, from the famous âPam Call My Momâ Nyquil commercial.
Train Wreck Comedy will be offering two shows a night at 7 and 9:15 p.m. on July 8 at Wings West Âé¶čAV, July 9 at the Âé¶čAV Yacht Club and July 10 at Freddyâs Brewpub. Tables of two, four and six are available and all COVID-19 protocols will be in effect at every venue. Tickets are available online at .
