DEREK SEGUIN: Nap. Laugh. Repeat presented by HubCap Promotions
Comedy super star Derek Seguin is touring Canada with his hysterical new show to celebrate his 20th year as a professional joke teller. Derek’s Juno nominated stand-up is always a pure reflection of his dysfunctional life, but naturally seen through his “slightly” twisted looking glass. This show will feature more of his hilarious stories on the challenges of relationships with his girlfriend, his three nearly grown-up children and every-day life in a mixed-up world that he finds peculiar at best. With barely a moment to catch your breath between laughs there is never a dull moment in Derek’s shows and for 20 years audiences have loved him for it, but he loves you more!
One of CBC’s The Debaters’ fan-favorites; people are often surprised at the raw nature of Derek’s stand-up… and how short he is. If you haven’t seen him live before; come out and discover the many hilarious surprises that his in-person shows are renowned for. No subject is off limits and no rabbit hole too deep.
*Please be advised this performance contains frequent use of strong language and is intended for mature audiences.

Movie and an Expert (Osoyoos Desert Centre)
2024-04-06 13:00 - 15:30
Kiss the Ground with special guest Lee McFadyenWhile dirt may not be the obvious answer to reversing climate change, filmmakers Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell make a good case for the healing power of soil. A revolutionary path, suggests narrator Woody Harrelson, but a solution deemed simple, and equally important, optimistic.
Lee McFadyen
Growing up in Australia on a multi-generational family farm surrounded by wilderness, Lee’s father, grandfather and great grandfather instilled in her a love for nature. Transplanted to the Similkameen Valley in 1970, Lee became a pioneer organic farmer caring for the soil as if it matters. She quickly developed concern for our rapidly disappearing wild spaces and joined various conservation groups. At ODC, she began leading Friday night tours in 1999, accepted an invitation to join the Board in 2011, and stepped into the President’s role 10 years ago. Lee provides a captivating local perspective on the crucial imperative to care for the Earth’s soil.
The presentation is at Osoyoos Secondary School Theatre, 5800 115 St, Osoyoos, BC.
