Cape Breton Comedy Fest: Scott Thompson at the HAT

Sydney Area & Marconi Trail

Aug 20

About

The 3rd Annual Cape Breton Comedy Festival kicks off with Kids in the Hall’s Scott Thompson performing as his iconic character Buddy Cole! You will know Thompson as a member of the groundbreaking comedy troupe the Kids In The Hall or perhaps as Brian, the loyal assistant to Hank Kingsley on Garry Shandling’s groundbreaking HBO series, “The Larry Sanders Show”, or maybe even as Jimmy Price, the wry FBI agent on Bryan Fuller’s groundbreaking NBC series, “Hannibal”—the point is, he’s done more ground breaking than an architect. The Cape Breton Comedy Fest is so excited to be able to present Canadian comedy icon Scott Thompson! Recommended for ages 18+.
8-9:30pm | $52.50 + service fee
