One night. Two shows. Live. Laugh. Love. But Steve Love knows he can’t do it alone. That’s why he’s bringing a duo of very special guests along with him. Feature act Big Jo (a.k.a. Joey McDougall) is an Ottawa-based comedian\, actor\, producer and acting coach. MC Tavis Maplesden is an award-winning comedian known as much for his brilliant writing as he is for his impeccable crowd work. He has opened for Doug Stanhope\, Gilbert Gottfried\, Steve Hofstetter. With shows at 8 and 10:30pm\, this promises to be a night of irrepressible laughs\, irresistible ambiance\, and most importantly\, Love. \nTickets: $15 online $20 at the door Doors for early show 7:00 For the late show\, please do not arrive before 10 PM. \n8:00PM & 10:00PM Shows \nPLEASE DO NOT MOVE TABLES AND CHAIRS \nABSOLUTELY NO OUTSIDE BEVERAGES OR BEVERAGE CONTAINERS
