Holiday Hijinks
The year closes out for good with the last of our annual traditions–that festive comedy show between the Holidays. Holiday Hijinks brings together the whole PEC comedy creator community (including its newest members from The County Comedy Project) for a big ole live comedy show taking a run at all the fun and folly of the holly jolly season. Billed as “that festive show between the Holidays that’s perfect for spending quality time with family without having to speak to them,” Holiday Hijinks is a ten year Holiday tradition, complete with family matinée. It’s the perfect way to wrap up a decade of laughs in Prince Edward County.
It’s gonna be another laugh-out-loud season with The County’s live comedy series, Comedy Country – Big Laughs in Rural Places.
