While folks across the nation have been encouraged to "stand up" for Canada by shopping Canadian and avoiding buying products from the US in response to Donald Trump's incessant tariff threats, Rick Mercer is doing more than putting his money where his mouth his. The comedian has announced Rick Mercer's Stand-Up for Canada Comedy Tour, a nationwide trek that will bring the laughs to 21 cities across 10 provinces this fall.
With support from rising stars Sophie Buddle, Mayce Galoni and Julie Kim, Mercer will hit the road starting September 11 in Saskatoon. Following another Saskatchewan stop in Regina (September 12), he'll venture forth to Alberta for performances in Edmonton (September 13) and Calgary (September 14), as well as BC gigs in Vancouver (September 17 and 18), Victoria (September 19) and Kelowna (September 20).
After a Winnipeg engagement on September 21, the comedian heads to Ontario and Quebec before finishing the tour on the East Coast, wrapping things up in St. John's on October 19.
Tickets go on general sale Friday (June 6), while presales are ongoing. Find the full list of dates below, as well as more upcoming shows via Exclaim!'s Canadian concert listings.
