Cape Breton Comedy Festival: Opening Night with Nikki Payne!!!
74 Esplanade, Sydney
The Cape Breton Comedy Festival will kick off with a bang at the Big Fiddle (Joan Harriss Cruise Pavilion). Opening night features headliner Nikki Payne! You might remember her from Much Music’s “Video on Trial” or NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” before she ran into the wilds of New Brunswick to live with the woodland critters. After being bitten multiple times and covered in ticks she has re-emerged. Her love of comedy could not be suppressed but mostly, her bathroom needs a reno. Payne’s material is filled with piss, vinegar and bad words. Her brand new hour of comedy from her album Performative, is filled with stories she should be telling a therapist. As the old saying goes, “tragedy plus time equals a renovated bathroom!” Mental health, growing up poor with one boob, and family gun fights are just some of the topics Payne covers. Currently, you can find Nikki Payne at Mount Allison University pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at a snail’s pace.
Doors 7:30pm | Show: 8:30pm
