THEO VON’S ‘RETURN OF THE RAT’ TOUR FEATURES STOPS IN WINNIPEG AND CALGARY FOR THE GREAT OUTDOORS COMEDY FESTIVAL

Theo Von grew up in the stray animal belt of southern Louisiana. He was a child there and became an adult slowly there. He can be seen and heard weekly on his widely popular podcasts that garner millions of listens/views a month THIS PAST WEEKEND. If you want to know how Theo is doing he is probably doing the best he can; which varies. 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.
