Details: The Underground Comedy Railroad, a five city stand up comedy tour with seven shows, will visit Montreal, Halifax, Toronto, Ottawa and Winnipeg. These showcases will celebrate the 13th Anniversary of The Underground Comedy Railroad, an annual tour that has traveled across Canada for Black History Month since 2012.
Beginning February 2 in Montreal, The Underground Comedy Railroad will hit the road with Black comedians from across Canada including tour co-founders Rodney Ramsey and Daniel Woodrow, plus Tamara Shevon, Keesha Brownie, Simone Holder, Vance Michel, Emmanuel Lomuro and more to be announced. On February 14 the tour will present Black Valentine’s at Comedy Bar in Toronto, a special night of lovely comedy for couples and the consciously uncoupled.
Each year The Underground Comedy Railroad invites local Black comedians to perform on each stop of the tour increasing their opportunities to reach a larger audience, and often to perform on stages they might not otherwise have the opportunity to perform on.
The Underground Comedy Railroad Tour was created by Rodney Ramsey and Daniel Woodrow in 2012 to create opportunities and introduce the voices of black Canadian comedians to new audiences abroad. Every year a new line-up of comics is selected for their hilarious and uniquely Canadian comedic perspectives on everything from race to everyday life. The Underground Comedy Railroad is now well known for being the first ever all black comedy tour in the country, bringing diverse perspectives to regions who have never experienced this kind of unique cultural event.
