COMEDY HEAVYWEIGHTS JOHN MULANEY AND MARTIN SHORT TO CO-HEADLINE WINNIPEG ON JULY 19 AND EDMONTON ON JULY 20

Get ready to laugh under the open sky! Martin Short, a celebrated comedian and actor, has won fans and accolades in television, film and theater since his breakout season on “Saturday Night Live” over 30 years ago. Short won his first Emmy in 1982 while working on Canada’s SCTV Comedy Network, which brought him to the attention of the producers of “SNL.” He became an “SNL” fan-favorite for his portrayal of characters such as Ed Grimley, lawyer Nathan Thurm and “legendary songwriter” Irving Cohen. Prepare for an evening of side-splitting entertainment from the moment you walk in the gates; with local entertainment, food trucks and cold drinks. Come for the jokes, stay for the scenery, and let the good times roll.
