The final night of the 2023 Rusty Nail ComedyFest comes to the KWLT stage on September 16, headlined by Darrin Rose. Doors open at 7pm, curtain at 8pm.

The Headliner

Fresh off shooting a new show for HBOmax in Italy, award-winning stand-up comedian Darrin Rose. Following a recent appearance on the hit show Letterkenny, the former Match Game host and star of CBC sitcom Mr. D returns to the stand-up stage in anticipation of recording his second stand-up TV special. His first special, for CTV/Comedy Network, was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Performance in a Comedy/Variety Show. He has been called “one of the hottest comedians in Canada” by GQ magazine, is a six-time performer at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal and a nine-time Canadian Comedy Award nominee. His show was selected Best of the Fest at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Rose tours across the United States and Canada, and has performed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the Borgata in Atlantic City, Hong Kong, Singapore, Ireland and across the United Kingdom. Rose’s hilarious stand-up act discusses love, marriage, and being a dad, and further adventures dealing with his wild mom, stoic dad, and tough guy brother. Family Pains contains plenty of hilarious, hurtful and true stories about his family. Sure, family is great — but they’re also a pain. Clean comedy from one of Canada’s most popular comedians!
