Corner Gas star Brent Butt is bringing his comedy to the stage of The ACT Arts Centre in Maple Ridge this spring.
The ACT is now selling tickets to An Evening With Brent Butt, on Saturday, March 16, at 8 p.m.
Corner Gas was Butt’s creation, and the series about a service station in the fictional town of Dog River, Saskatchewan ran for six seasons from 2004 to 2009. It also spawned Corner Gas: The Movie in 2014. The series won six Gemini Awards, and was nominated many more times for other honours.
The Vancouver-based comic also created the television series Hiccups, which ran for two seasons on CTV and The Comedy Network, and wrote the 2013 movie No Clue. Last year, the comedian published his first novel, Huge, which is a thriller about comedians on tour.
Butt has won four Canadian Comedy Awards, starting in 2001 when he won for Best Male Stand-up.
Asked how he always finds his way back to an empty stage with a microphone, he told the Peterborough Examiner “’Cuz it’s the thing I love more than anything else!”
Tickets for preferred seating for the 90-minute Maple Ridge show are $37.50.
