October 17 2025 · 7:30 PM · Stirling Festival Theatre, Stirling, ON

CBC’s Ali Hassan serves up a night of razor-sharp stand-up at Stirling Festival Theatre. After a dozen years in restaurant kitchens, Ali turned his hunger for flavour into fuel for comedy—mixing family life, food obsessions, and cultural insight into a show that’s equal parts spice and soul.

Does This Taste Funny? is a laugh-out-loud look at what happens when your culinary dreams collide with your comedy career. Think Eat, Pray, Love—minus the prayer and plus a lot more jokes about naan.

About ALI HASSAN

Host of CBC Radio’s Laugh Out Loud and six-time host of Canada Reads, Ali has appeared in Goon, Designated Survivor, Run the Burbs, and dozens of film and TV roles.

A Canadian Comedy Award nominee, he’s played Just For Laughs in Montreal and JFL42 in Toronto, toured the globe, and published the memoir Is There Bacon in Heaven? with Simon & Schuster.

Cheap Wine

Cheap Wine is family. For real. As in two of them have the same parents and two of them have a marriage certificate. That’s sweet and wholesome, but it’s also kind of weird! AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD at Toronto Sketchfest 2025. Warning: This is a friendly family troupe, but not a family-friendly show!

LOCAL LOVE!
