Derek Edwards - Oxy Moron
2026-03-14 19:30 UTC | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
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 naivete that somehow remains endearing. As Derek says: In the grand contest of life, he stands proudly as a bona fide “participant.”

Well … truth be told, there’s a lot more to it than that. From Vegas to St. John’s, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite. Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic – Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multiple Gemininominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.”

Clearly the critics agree: “5 STARS – the funniest man on earth” – Winnipeg Free Press; “4 STARS – the crowd howled” – Victoria Times Colonist; “still the funniest man in Canada” – Toronto Sun; “Edwards reigns as the King of Canadian comedy” – Charlottetown Guardian; “Derek Edwards is hysterical” – Calgary Sun; “Edwards takes stand-upto next stage” – Georgia Straight; “the epitome of timing & storytelling” – Halifax Chronicle Herald; “the comedian’s comedian” – London Free Press.

So come on out and join Derek for his latest show, Oxy Moron, as it makes its way across Canada. 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. It’s a triple win!

Venables Theatre presents AWOL
2026-03-19 19:30 - 21:00 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
Two old men escape from a care home and go to a metal concert

Cyril doesn’t like old people, which is a shame because he is one. When he learns his estranged granddaughter, Lily, has her big break with her thrash metal band, Abscess, he and his friend Neville are determined to show up and support her. Neither of them will ever be the same again. AWOL is a buddy adventure caper about two men who decide they’ve had enough of bland food, dull company and care home radio.

UK comedian, poet and former nurse Rob Gee wrote the show after reading a news item from Germany: “It turned out not to be true, but it inspired me to write a buddy movie-style adventure caper with a positive message about ageing. It’s also a love letter to metalheads!” Rob has performed over 100 fringe festivals across the world and won over twenty awards for his solo shows. Fringe hits include SmartArse (“Be prepared to be blown away” – CBC) and Forget Me Not: The Alzheimer’s Whodunnit (“This is terrific theatre” – Vancouver Sun).

Jon Paterson has worked in theatre for thirty years and performed at every major fringe festival in North America. He toured his first solo-written show How I Met My Mother last year, exploring his relationship with his mother in the wake of her dementia (“Humorous, heartfelt and moving” – Orlando Sentinel).

Rob and Jon have been friends for sixteen years. Rob said, “I knew Jon would be perfect for this show and when Ryan came on board also, the three of us immediately hit it off. If we’d been at school, they’d never have allowed us to sit together.” Director Ryan Gladstone is the artistic director of Monster Theatre and creator of numerous fringe hits, including Til Death: The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Juliet: A Revenge Comedy. (“A natural comedian”– CBC).

For nearly two decades, Delhi 2 Dublin has been at the forefront of South Asian fusion music, pioneering a global bass sound they call “Subcontinental Pop”—a high-energy blend of Bhangra, electronic, hip-hop, reggae, and Celtic influences that defies genre and unites dance floors worldwide. As they approach their monumental 20th anniversary in 2026, the band is re-energized, re-inspired, and ready to launch a bold new chapter, creating fresh music for the first time in six years. Founding members Sanjay Seran and Ravi Binning continue to lead the charge, pushing Delhi 2 Dublin’s sound and vision to new heights.

Their music has taken them around the world, from the clubs of Mumbai to the deserts of Nevada, earning them a reputation for delivering “90 minutes of freebasing joy” at every show. For over a decade, violinist Serena Eades has been a driving force in the band, her electrifying performances and deep musicality adding a rich melodic layer to Delhi 2 Dublin’s ever-evolving sound.Now, with fresh energy coursing through their veins, Delhi 2 Dublin welcomes producer, keyboardist, and tabla player Kal Mattu, who brings a renewed vibrancy to their ever-evolving sound.

With a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums like Planet Electric (2010), Turn Up The Stereo (2012), and We’re All Desi (2015), Delhi 2 Dublin has consistently pushed the boundaries of South Asian music. Their 2019 album, We Got This, produced by Juno Award-winning Gavin Brown, marked a major milestone, earning commercial radio play for the song “My People.” Their innovative approach has secured top spots on international world music charts, millions of streams, multiple Western Canadian Music Awards, and recognition from major platforms like CBC Music, BBC Asian Network, and PBS.​New music is on the horizon and the festival season promises to be bigger than ever, Delhi 2 Dublin is set to remind the world why they’ve remained at the top of the global bass music scene for two decades. The party isn’t slowing down—it’s just getting started.

YAMABIKO TAIKO
2026-04-16 18:30 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
山彦太鼓　Yamabiko (meaning ‘Mountain Echo’ in Japanese) Taiko was founded in 2003 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.

The BeginningsYamabiko Taiko began with very humble and simple desires: purely to enjoy and play Japanese Taiko-style drums and be lost in their power and grace. With only a few members led by Eri Uchida, we were able to acquire our very crude but effective drums. They were homemade with regular packing tape and, believe it or not, cut-to-size sewer pipes (unused of course!) donated by the City of Kelowna. Weekly practices weren’t even scheduled; the group gathered together whenever possible in the basement of a member’s house. And so with this Yamabiko Taiko was born! Who knew what was to come…

TodayYamabiko Taiko has evolved into a regularly performing group. Most performances are held in the southern interior of BC. Practices are held on Monday and Thursday evenings in the basement of the Kelowna Buddhist Temple. For more information, email Yamabiko Taiko from our Contact page. You can also find us on Facebook.

Montreal’s celebrated Led Zeppelin tribute act “Black Dog” is coming to the West Coast for the first time — tickets for their 2026 shows are on sale now!

Black Dog—The Spirit of Led Zeppelin” captures Led Zep’s early years in a show that brings to life the essence of Led Zeppelin. From the first crushing riff of Whole Lotta Love to the final echos of Kashmir and Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog delivers an authentic experience with the chemistry and respect the music deserves: raw, electric, and alive. “If Zeppelin defines the soundtrack of your youth, this is your chance to feel it all again” explains bassist Frank Larouche. “Close your eyes, you will swear you’re back in 1973”.

With over 250 concerts to their credit and an unwavering commitment to authenticity, this powerhouse quartet channels the raw energy, soaring vocals, and legendary musicianship that made Led Zeppelin unforgettable.
