Alice Rose Productions​Presents ​COMIC SANS​, a Monthly Alice Rose Productions facebook.com/comicsanscomedyshow FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 12nd, 2019 MEDIA CONTACT: Alice Rose | [email protected] Alice Rose Productions presents COMIC SANS, a monthly showcase of stand-up ​ ​ ​ comedy from marginalized voices SThird Wednesdays of every month at 8:00pm Patent Social - 17 Erb St, Waterloo, ON ​ Returning August 21st, 2019 Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/comic-sans-waterloo-tickets-67241502143 COMIC SANS is a monthly showcase that focuses in on the diverse, eclectic, intersectional ​ voices of LGBTQ++, BIPOC, and feminist performers. Each month, COMIC SANS creates an engaging performance featuring a curated lineup of comedians and performers in an uplifting, community-minded space that celebrates the diversity of our community. Formerly Alice’s Big Queer Comedy Show, conceptualized by the show’s producer and host, Alice Rose, the show returns for its second season with monthly performances in Waterloo ​ ​ and Hamilton. The aim of COMIC SANS is to explore the art of stand-up comedy sans misogyny, sans rape jokes, sans harm. About the Show: Alice’s Big Queer Comedy Show was conceptualized in June 2018 as an initiative to establish a queer comedy scene in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Far too often the punchlines of a joke in mainstream comedy, Alice’s Big Queer Comedy Show sought instead to celebrate our diversity and empower our performers and audiences alike. The show has attracted a range of professional comedians to its stage, including Elvira Kurt (Canadian ​ ​ Comedy Award winner, Second City, CBC, Just For Laughs), Chanty Marostica (Just For ​ ​ Laughs, Sirius XM’s Top Comic, Workin’ Moms), Andrew Johnston (Just For Laughs, Much ​ ​ Music’s Video on Trial, Bitch Salad), Al Val (Yuk Yuks, Durham Region Comedy Festival), ​ ​ and Greg Brown (ASAP Science, Sidenote podcast). Under the new label of Comic Sans, ​ ​ the show now aims to expand its catchment to include all marginalized folx, and to incorporate additional forms of performance art such as burlesque, improv, and sketch comedy. The Waterloo edition of COMIC SANS returns August 21st with Dustin George, Michael ​ ​ ​ Moses, Bee Bertrand, and Heather MacDonald! ​ Created by Alice Rose. Produced by Alice Rose and Krista McNaughton. facebook.com/comicsanscomedyshow For all media inquiries, please contact Alice Rose at [email protected] or 647-642-1618 .

In 2014 we put newspaper boxes on the streets, held the inaugural Uniter Fiver, hired a volunteer coordinator (Lauren - she rocks!), profiled dozens of artists, broke a few stories, published a two-part summer festival guide, made some videos, had some laughs, ate some falafels (thanks Shawarma Khan for hosting the Feminism and a Falafel web series!), covered an election in (hopefully) different ways than the mainstream media and ate some cookies. Each of our writers and photographers contrib- uted cover features, ensuring that different voices and ideas would grace the front of the paper each week. We also worked hard to talk to different types of people - not just hip Mennonite kids making folk music. This year was also the “year of music” in Man- itoba, and a musician was sued by the now former mayor (it all worked out, BTW). Winnipeg hosted the Junos, Breakout West and a million local shows a night that don’t get a millionth of the coverage. It was interesting and loud, and hopefully beneficial to some new musicians. Volunteer orientations will resume on January 7, 2015 at 12:30 in room ORM14 at the University of Winnipeg.
