TONIGHT AT MAXWELLS!
Nick is doing a show tonight at Maxwells, a follow up to his December 22nd show at the Capri. For anyone that missed it, Nick is hilarious, check out this clip from youtube. Show starts at 8pm.
from familybusiness.ca:
Nick Beaton hails from Cape Breton Island on the East Coast of Canada. Like many before him, Nick is following in the great tradition of Canada’s Maritime comedians. Nick takes sharp jabs at social and political issues; his ridicule and mockery are often compared to such luminary comedians such as Rick Mercer and Jon Stewart.
Nick is considered to be one of the top young comics working in Canada. He has wooed audiences in Hollywood, performing with some of the top comics in the world. Nick performed at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and taped a segment on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. As well, he has made a number of televisions and radio appearances including CBC Radio and Much Music’s number one rated show “Video On Trial”.
Nick’s quick wit and edgy opinions often generate loads of laughter and he is a fan favourite at many clubs. Nick’s machine gun joke style keeps audiences in stitches and sometimes gasping for air. |
