Beth Stelling at the Comedy MIX
She is simply the Beth. That’s the name of her second (and better, according to her bio) album. But she’s got a last name, too, and it’s telling: Stelling. The Chicago native was named best standup in the Windy City in 2010 and has gone on to perform everywhere with everyone (give or take). A great combination of joke-writing and storytelling, Stelling’s act was overshadowed last year when she went public with allegations of abuse against her ex-boyfriend. But with that ugliness in the past, we can get back to the laughter. Stelling makes her Vancouver debut headlining the Comedy MIX. Should be a stellar show, with Kevin Banner hosting and Gavin Matts middling.
Beth Stelling is at the Comedy MIX from Thursday to Saturday (December 1 to 3).
