A special road show put together by the Winnipeg Comedy Festival will be looking to entertain locals who find themselves spending Valentine’s Day lovelorn or bitter – or couples who can take a joke.
The show, called “Down with Love”, will be headlined by Derek Seguin and Erica Sigurdson, both prairie comedy veterans. The Montreal-born Seguin, who won the Canadian Top Comic competition in 2015, is best known for his humour about the differences between French and English Canada, but will tackle more romantic matters on this show. Sigurdson has become known as a comedian and writer across multiple TV shows and podcasts, including Just for Laughs and CBC Radio’s The Debaters.
The event will also feature Spencer Adamus, winner of Winnipeg’s Funniest Comedian, and Regina legend Dean Jenkinson, another Debaters star. Comedy events like this, typically combining well-known talents with up-and-comers, are popular attractions for venues from clubs to casinos and large arenas. Events are often advertised through poster printing. These days, comedians also raise their profile through podcasts, online video and social media. With a juicy target like love, the event could be a great way to laugh away romantic woes.
Down with Love will take place on the evening of February 14 at Casino Regina. Tickets have been made available online and at the Gas Station Theatre.
