Jon Dore
Not since the final bit of construction finished on the Trans-Canadian Highway has something from our great northern neighbors provided such twists and turns as Jon Dore’s stand-up comedy act. This insanely hilarious man does bits and acts on stage that defy explanation, not just for fear of giving up the joke early, but simply because they are indescribable acts of comedy. Words can’t encapsulate the essence of Dore’s presence; you gotta see him. With Kendall Relf. Shows at 7:30 p.m., March 30; and 7:30 and 10 p.m., March 31-April 1.
