The Gift Of Giving – Dec 20

This is our new event. Jacqueline Dyck just came back from speaking at WeDay and was challenged with a project that had to do with gifts and issue. We thought sharing our gifts and giving to the shelter house was a perfect idea. Jacqueline you are very inspirational and a great role model for our kids, we are so happy to do this for your challenge. Tickets are on sale at the end of the week, at the hoito and go to my website to reserve your ticket. Thank you to Thomas McDonald for designing our poster

Stand Up Comedy Night – Nov 21 + 22 (Two Shows Each Night)

Finlandia Club 314 Bay St, Thunder Bay, ON, Canada

November 21 + 22, 2014
Two shows each night at 7:30 and 10:00 p.m.
November Headliner: Todd Paul
Receiving standing ovations from coast to coast, Todd Paul has been headlining top comedy clubs for over 10 years. Starring in his own Las Vegas show, "Fear And Laughing In Las Vegas" for two years on the Las Vegas Strip, Todd Paul was also the co-creator of two other shows in Las Vegas; The Dirty Joke Show and The Hard Rock Comedy Show.
Todd Paul's show is unlike anything else you might be likely to see in most clubs, as his skills range from stand up to music and a variety of juggling, magic and audience participation. Like Steve Martin, Todd Paul has two first names and started his career as a street performer. He has taken all of the skills he's learned over a life time and put them together in a hilarious and unexpected show. Not for children or the weak of heart, Todd's show is edgy and adult in it's approach.
Opening the first show of the season is local comedian, Thunder Bay's Comic Idol Performer - Eric Tellef Hansen
Featuring the hilarious comedic stylings of her majesty, the Pass Lake Princess - Lee Noyes
Emcee is everyones favourite Finlander, the "Pine Cone Boyka" - Isso Rautsalainen!
Tickets available at the Hoito, The Persian Man-both locations, Galaxy Lanes, TBRHSC Foundation Office and Chiropractors Office

- Ian McKay, Department of History, Queen’s University
