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!
