Richmond Hill: Glenn Ottaway's 75th birthday party [May 25]

RSVP to Diana by May 16th (please RSVP if you wish to perform or if you plan to attend). 

 

From Diana:

🎩 You’re Invited! 🎉

Come celebrate a true legend of Canadian magic

Glenn Ottaway is turning 75 & we’re throwing a party he’ll never forget or possibly forgive us for.

📍 Jokers, Richmond Hill, Ontario (115 York Blvd. Unit # 9)
📅 Sunday, May 25th
🕡 Doors at 6:00 PM | Show at 7:30 PM

 RSVP by May the 16th please

We’re calling on all friends, performers, and fellow mischief-makers to help make this a night to remember. Whether you’ve shared a stage, a story, or a lunch with Glenn — you know this is going to be a blast.

Join us onstage and either dedicate a trick to Glenn (the more ridiculous or heartfelt, the better) or 🔥 roast him in your set (he can take it… probably)

Let’s honour Glenn in the only way that makes sense — with laughter, amazement, and a little gentle, but deliberate humiliation.

Spread the word to those who know and love the man, the myth, the legend.

RSVP by May the 16th if you’re in or just planning on attending— and let us know if you want to perform!

Huge announcement! Tickets are now on sale for the latest show addition to the Jokers lineup coming September 30th.

Mr Valentine Blows Your Mind!  Join the star of TV’s Crossing Jordan House, The Walk and Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place Movie for an incredible evening of non-stop sleight of hand and gossip.

Multi-award winning actor and sleight of hand chap Steve Valentine, brings an evening of Tricks and Tales to Jokers.

Spend the night with Steve Valentine (watching him on stage, no actual sex in the show).

Tricks and Tales

Sleight of Hand and Gossip

With over 250 hours of TV and film to his name Steve Valentine has been in almost everything you love.

But this Hollywood actor has a secret. Steve also happens to be a multi-award winning sleight of hand artist. From Hollywood’s world famous Magic Castle to headlining Las Vegas to touring with the The Illusionists, this incredible artist brings his own slightly edgy brand of wizardry to the stage.

So come, spend the night with Steve, who knows, he may even do a trick with you.

For the past two years, my businesses have been essentially shut down. However, I have been hard at work behind the scenes. After numerous covid related delays, I am very happy to announce the opening of a my brand new own comedy club and theatre. This has been a dream of mine for the past two decades. 

www.Jokers.ca will be the 905's only permanent comedy club and the GTA's newest. Seating around 250 people, we will feature not only stand-up comedy, but also magic, tribute concerts, live-band karaoke, jazz, drag, and much more variety. The location is in Richmond Hill in a very cool location. My partner is Steve Esfandiar Kalantar and he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from running Yuk Yuks.
