Calgary: The Garden Variety Show

Tip of the hat again to The Magician's Assistant for letting me know about Calgary's Garden Variety Show.  The vaudeville variety review takes place the last Thursday of every month and is hosted by comedy magician, James Jordan.  It features a cast of local and international variety performers: magicians, jugglers, ventriloquists, comedians and musicians who create an experience of vaudeville and late night chat.

The line up for this month's show includes magician and balloon sculptor TD Sparks.

Thanks again Gwyn!

Updates: Rounding the Calgary ring in February

The Magician's Assistant has kindly informed me that Calgary also has a Junior Magic Club with guest lecturers as well as a monthly venue for performers at the Garden Variety Show!  Which also led me to discover that the ring is having Michael Berends lecture this month too!

To see what the other rings are up to this month visit Rounding the Rings in February.

Thanks Gwyn for reading and for commenting!
