Your hosts for the evening?
Velvet La Touche: A staple of the Montreal comedy scene for over a decade, Velvet has been voted in the top ten best burlesque performers by Cult Magazine multiple times. She made her Just For Laughs debut in 2013 and is known for her unique burlesque act where she strips while playing piano. Her one-woman solo show, "Velvet’s Greatest Tits!," debuted at Fringe Montreal 2022.
Sara Quinn: A Montreal standup veteran who has graced every comedy club in the city. Sara was on the verge of hitting it big in LA before the pandemic brought her back home, and now we’re lucky to have her bringing the laughs right here.
For this special edition, Velvet has assembled a team of three burlesquers and physical comedians, while Sara has chosen three of her top standup picks. Each act will be scored by you the audience!
