SUMMARY:Derek Edwards-In Praise of the Ostrich
DESCRIPTION:Shantero Productions presents \nDerek Edwards – In Praise of the Ostrich \nAt The Bailey Theatre\,  Trail BC \nThursday\, September 28th\, 2023 at 7:30 pm \nTickets $60 – Reserved Seating \nWith ‘In Praise of the Ostrich’  Derek Edwards  moseys back into town on horse-drawn comedy wagon; a searing meander down life’s twisting trails\, steered effortfully by this 30-year veteran. He returns with a payload of blissfully funny personal stories – a cacophony of shenanigans – set to tickle the ribs and warm the heart.  \nWith an easy conversational style\, Derek reluctantly pulls his head out of the sand and launches into commentary on the influx of pot stores\, self-driving cars\, gambling tips\, the challenge of staying youthful … plus dressing warm.  \nFrom Vegas to St. John’s\, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite.  Certainly his peers think so\, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee\, and winner of Best Standup Comic – Canadian Comedy Awards\, as well as a multiple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy.  As Rick Mercer says\, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.”                                              \nClearly the critics agree: “5 STARS – the funniest man on earth” – Winnipeg Free Press; “4 STARS –  the crowd howled” – Victoria Times Colonist; “still the funniest man in Canada” – Toronto Sun; “Edwards reigns as the King of Canadian comedy” – Charlottetown Guardian; “Derek Edwards is hysterical” – Calgary Sun; “Edwards takes stand-up to next stage” – Georgia Straight; “the epitome of timing & storytelling” – Halifax Chronicle Herald; “the comedian’s comedian” – London Free Press.  \n‘In Praise of the Ostrich’  – Derek Edwards’ new 90-minute stand-up comedy show …a richly textured and enthralling ‘cut above\,’ delivered with pace and authority by the consummate Canadian Comedian. Down to earth\, lots of laughs\, wagons ho. \nDerek In Action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4f7bxyZxDM \nFor more info & comedy clips\, visit www.shantero.com \n90 minutes – no intermission. \nTrail Arts Council Patron Members can purchase starting at 12 noon on Tuesday June 6th.  2023-24 Patron Memberships are $25 and can be purchased on-line or by contacting our box office 250-368-9669 or visiting us at 1501 Cedar Avenue\, Trail.
