A four-pack of comedy tall-cans will pop their tops at the P.G. Playhouse tonight.
The Snowed In Comedy Tour is in its seventh year and the roster of comedians this year includes Paul Myrehaug, Craig Campbell, Dan Quinn and Arj Barker. The four of them are living out the full scope of the tours title by skiing and snowboarding in the off-hours and lighting up the performance stage at the end of the day.
When Dan Quinn wanted to combine his two favorite passions, snowboarding and stand-up comedy, he came up with the Snowed In Comedy Tour, said a written statement from the four. The entire tour schedule is built around what ski hills he will be able to hit during the day. When it started Dan had no idea how big it would become.
It has now become the subject of three television specials, has a large contingent of sponsors and plays to sold-out audiences across Western Canada.
