4 hilarious comics are coming to Port Hope for a FUNDRAISER for Amnesty International Northumberland Division. 

Headliner -Deborah Kimmett

Kimmett is one of Canada’s most brutally honest and hilarious storytellers.” (Steve Patterson, The Debaters)

Very few comedians – much fewer female comedians past 60 have a platform in Canadian media. Her last comedy album Downward Facing Broad aired on CBC Radio to great response and began to tour before the world was shut down. As COVID-19 raged on, the Downward Facing Broad comedy album became number 5 on iTunes! After 17 years on CBC’s radio show The Debaters, Kimmett has an impressive following with CBC audiences.

She is a regular on CBC’s Winnipeg Comedy Festival, LOL and is an accomplished author of four books, Reality is Overrated and That Which Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Funnier, and Out Running Crazy. Deb’s new book Window-shopping for God will be published in spring 2022. She was nominated twice for the National Magazine Award for Humour. As well, she has been shortlisted for the Governor-General Award for her play Miracle Mother in 1984. She has written 52 episodes of TV on Steve Smith’s Go Girl. Her lead in the movie, Keep Coming Back debuted at the Palm Springs Film Festival, and Whistler Film Festival garnered a best actress nomination for ACTRA. She has appeared on Canadian gems like Frankie Drake, Tall Boyz, and Gayle Pyle.

Mc/Host- Evan Carter

Evan is a legend in the Canadian comedy scene and has been considered by fans and comics alike to be one of the best ever. For years he has been at the top of the heap, and continues to deliver clean and witty comedy as good as it gets.”

The fabulous thing about watching, listening and hiring Evan Carter, is that you know you’re getting a comedian who has truly lived his material.

As a husband, father, sibling and friend. Evan bases his comedy on the belief that we are more alike than different. This belief has made Evan successful wherever he travels.

Evan Carter is a stand-up comedian who was born, raised and still lives in Toronto. Evan’s connectivity to his audience is masterfully achieved by his ability to see the comedic world through the eyes of a father, son, and friend. His likes, dislikes, and head scratching moments provide an endless source of fascination and material that he masterfully delivers on stage in front of head nodding and belly laughing audience members.

Carter’s versatility, experience, and professionalism serve him well and he transitions easily from different venues such as the opening of the 2015 Pam Am Games, to concert halls, working with musical stars such as Gladys Knight, The Temptations, Air Supply, Dionne Warwick, John Cougar, Midnight Oil, the late Marvin Gaye as well as many other top names in the world of show business.

He equally excels at delivering quality performances to private corporate conferences and local fundraisers. Evan has worked on numerous television shows, like “George Stromboulopoulos Tonight”, plus his own half hour specials on CBC and The Comedy Network. On radio, Evan appears regularly on CBC’s “Metro Morning”, “Fresh Air”, “Later the Same Day”, “LOL” and “The Debaters”.

Featuring ….

Noor Kidwai

As Seen on CBC and heard on Sirius XM Satellite Radio Comedian Noor Kidwai grew up in the small farming town of High River, Alberta, which was the first place he began doing comedy. He has sharp writing, combined with a background in Improv which makes him quick on his feet. He now lives in Toronto and tours all over Canada and the UK. He’s performed at Just For Laughs 42, The Winnipeg Comedy Festival, The Seattle International Comedy Competition, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.

Ava Val is a comedian/musician/actress from Toronto. Her honest and insightful yet silly and spontaneous account of her transgender journey has turned heads across North America and has earned her appearances at renowned festivals such as Just For Laughs, JFL Toronto and Vancouver, Off-JFL/Zoofest, Halifax Comedy Festival, The Arctic Comedy Festival, and many others, as well as earned her a writing role on the 30th season of "This Hour Has 22 Minutes". Though she has taped standup performances for CBC Gem, Crave, & CTV and was a lead cast member on OutTV's "Drag Heals" season 3, Al Val is surely an act that must be seen in person to be believed - and celebrated!
