MATTurday WRIGHT Live

Saturday night brings the Prince Edward Island premiere of MATTurday WRIGHT Live, a comedy talk show with a 1960s-inspired twist. Headlined by two-time JUNO Award nominee Matt Wright, the show turns the tables on the traditional talk-show format, letting the guests pick the questions and setting the stage for stand-up, panel shenanigans and plenty of unexpected laughs.

Joining Matt are special guests Susan Kent, Emma Hunter, Robin Duke and Dan Petronijevic, members of the cast of the SXSW award-winning film The Snake.

It’s a unique blend of comedy and conversation, featuring an impressive lineup of Canadian talent — and one you won’t want to miss.

Tickets: $31.18, available online through Locarius. This is a 19+ event.
