Martha Chaves headlines the Comedy Country Series Finale – the return of Live Comedy to The Regent Theatre!

Get your laugh on with an unmissable night of uproarious comedy by Martha Chaves, Shannon Laverty, and local merrymakers TASTE THAT!

**MARTHA CHAVES**

Martha Chaves is adored across Canada for her many appearances on the Just for Laughs Festival, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, The Debaters, and as a regular cast member of the hit CBC show Because News. Martha’s comedy paints hilarious stories drawn heavily from personal experience, like her upbringing in Latin-America. She came to Canada as a refugee, but Martha has established herself as one of the country’s most sought-after comedians. In her own words, she’s the “most famous LGBTQ-Nicaraguan-Canadian stand-up comic in the world.”

**SHANNON LAVERTY**

Sannon Laverty has been nominated 4 times for a Canadian Comedy Award, and was named 2014 host of the year in Now Magazine. She has toured in Canada from Vancouver to St. John’s, and internationally to Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, South Africa. Some of her favourite shows have been at community fundraisers and Military posts. She has performed at a NATO base in Germany and hopes one day to travel the world performing for all of the military personnel.

**TASTE THAT!**

The County’s Artisanal Comedy Troupe: TASTE THAT! returns with their first live appearance since 2019. Taste That will be reprising their popular satirical news segment The County Roundup: Pandemic Edition – big time laughs at small town news …against the backdrop of a global pandemic.
