The Lorne Elliott Comedy Show

When and where: November 6 at 8 p.m. at Evergreen Cultural Centre
What to expect: Canadian-born Lorne Elliott has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such a training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, foolish and uplifting. Along with his unique performance style it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations on today’s trends that make Elliott‘s work so special. Elliott has been gracing the airwaves as host of CBC Radio’s “Madly Off In All Directions” for 11 seasons.
