The inaugural Cape Breton LOLFest is bringing some of the top comedians from the US & Canada to you in Glace Bay at the beautiful Savoy Theatre. You don’t want to miss this triple headliner action! Kevin Farley was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and he studied at the famous Second City in Chicago. It wasn’t long after that he appeared in films such as Black Sheep (with his brother Chris Farley) and The Waterboy with Adam Sandler. Soon after, Farley landed a starring role as Doug Linus on MTV’s sitcom 2gether, for which he was met with rave reviews. He continues to grace TV with guest appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Drunk History, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Superstore. Farley also voices a multitude of characters on the hit Netflix show F is for Family. Farley has found his way into a wide variety of feature films. He’s accomplished film credits in films such as Crowning Jules, Frat Pack, and Joe Dirt 2. His most recent roles have been in features such as 1up and The Truth About Santa Clause. Farley moved behind the camera to write, direct, and produce on many different projects. To his credit, and met with high praise in all the national reviews, Farley co-executive produced the heartwarming I Am Chris Farley – a first feature-length biographical documentary about his brother Chris, the late comedy legend. The fabulous Kenny Robinson is a living legend on the Canadian comedy scene. His irreverent, socially conscience, intelligent, opinionated, and profane style of comedy has made him a fixture and favourite with comedy clubs, festivals, swingers conventions, radio, and television audiences for 3 decades. Raunchy, energetic, sharp-witted, and sharp-dressed, Kenny Robinson is a one-of-a-kind act. Not for the weak of heart or narrow minded. Kenny assaults your sensibilities and funny bone with unspoken truths. Many of the country’s brightest young comics have claimed “The Fab” as a mentor and influence. Lisa Baker hails from St. John’s, Newfoundland. Lisa developed a sharp wit and sense of humour that Newfoundlanders are known for. After starting a professional career as a stand up comic on the island, she moved to Alberta, while maintaining her Newfie princess status. Hosted by Brad Rice!
