Looking for something to do tonight? Whistler Pride is offering 50 per cent off for locals at the door of its Whistler Pride Comedy Night tonight.
"We have a stellar line-up, and it is going to be a hysterical night—we want to give locals a chance to get in at a good price," said Whistler Pride and Ski Festival's communications and creative lead, Tom Fedechko, in an email.
The promotion applies to general admission seating, Fedechko said. Doors at the Whistler Conference Centre open at 7 p.m., with tonight's show kicking off at 8 p.m.
Whistler Pride's Comedy night is always one of the most anticipated events on the festival sched, and organizers say this year is no different.
Tonight's event features "a double-serving of drag comedy royalty when Bianca Del Rio returns after delivering an unforgettable side-splitting set of hilarity last year," reads the description on Whistler Pride's website.
"As an extra treat, legendary Lady Bunny will get the crowd rolling with signature mix of crude and delightful humour!"
Dubbed “The Joan Rivers of the Drag World,” Bianca Del Rio is a "dimple-cheeked, larger-than-life drag queen and outrageous comic who isn’t afraid to shock and offend," Pride's website says.
"Fierce, funny, and fabulous, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 6 was recently named one of New York Magazine’s 'Most Powerful Drag Queens,' where they described her as “the queen of all Drag Race queens” due to her dynamic career of comedy, hosting, and successful global tours."
The whole night is hosted by Symone Says, Canada’s First Lady of Glam.
Whistler residents can see the show for half-price when they show up at the Whistler Conference Centre to purchase a ticket when doors open at 7 p.m.
This offer is only available for residents and valid photo ID with a local (Whistler-area) address is required.
