Halifax Comedians Picnicface perform at A Khord June 6
-by Chuck Teed [05/05/08]

Saint John comedy fans are in for a treat when rising stars Picnicface perform at A Khord June 6.

A consistent sell out on the Nova Scotia comedy circuit and one of the marquee attractions at last year’s Toronto Fringe Festival, the Halifax-based comedy troupe will bring their popular Best of Show to the Port City for the very first time. A multimedia event, the evening will feature live sketches, improvisation, and some of the best comedy shorts Saint John has even seen.

Picnicface has garnered an international following thanks to their hilarious online videos, including Lawyers, Near Death Experiences, and the Best of YouTube Award nominated Powerthirst. The videos have received millions of hits worldwide, garnering endorsements from the New York Times, The Guardian UK and funnyman Will Ferrell, who proclaimed, “Picnicface just cranks out the goods” on his website www.funnyordie.com.

Saint John’s own Improvisation Corporation will also perform at the show.

Tickets for the event are 8 dollars in advance and 10 dollars at the door, which opens at 6PM (show starts at 8PM). Advance tickets can be purchased at A Khord and Backstreet Records starting May 9, or by contacting Chuck Teed at info@bbqrecords.net. Seating is limited.
