Every few millennia a comic emerges, born from the cosmic soup of fate and time, jostled by the gales of change onto the unpredictable shores of comedic brilliance. This is a man who embodies pluck and wit, lighthearted yet encumbered, and a naïveté that somehow remains endearing. Rick Mercer calls him “…the funniest man in Canada”, so come on out and join Derek Edwards when his latest show, Oxy Moron, makes a stop at the HAT. Expect a night of perceptive guesswork and charmingly misguided jabs from a cherished performer. Enjoy some hearty laughs, a sprinkling of wisdom, and the pleasure of mingling with fellow humans. There will be an intermission approximately halfway through the performance. Recommended for ages 16+.
