Comedy road show rolls into River Run on April 18

The popular Just For Laughs Road Show, spawned from the prestigious comedy festival of the same name, will hit the trail again this spring.

The tour, now in its 10th year, will make a stop at Guelph’s River Run Centre on April 18 at 8pm as part of the Guelph Infiniti Comedy Series.

The all-star lineup will feature four of the top comics performing today: Darrin Rose, Mark Watson, Modi and Wil Sylvince.

Fans of the popular CBC comedy, Mr. D, will recognize the Just For Laughs show’s host, Darrin Rose, from his role as Bill the bartender. Rose is currently the host of Match Game on the Comedy Network, and is a regular cast member on MuchMusic’s Video On Trial.

Multi-award winning stand-up comedian, Watson is a former member of the famed Cambridge Footlights, and has been called a “stand-up superstar” by Time Out New York.

Voted one of the Top 10 Comedians in New York City by the Hollywood Reporter and BackStage, Modi is recognized for his television appearances on hit shows including CSI: NY, The Sopranos, and Last Comic Standing.

Brooklyn-born and raised Sylvince has performed around the world, including last year’s TBS Just For Laughs Festival in Chicago. He has earned standing ovations on Def Jam and Showtime at the Apollo.

Tickets start at $40 for adults or $38 for students and seniors. $5 eyeGO tickets are available for high school students with valid ID. $20 uGO tickets are available to university and college students.

Tickets are available at the River Run box office or online at riverrun.ca.
