Jan 17 2022, 9:14 pm

Snow is back in the forecast for Vancouver this weekend as a local stand-up comic is bringing his popular comedy tour back to the city for the first time in two years.

The Snowed In Comedy Tour performs at the Vancouver Playhouse on January 22 and is known as the biggest comedy tour in Canada.

Founded by Dan Quinn in 2009, the tour boasts a lineup filled with award-winning comedians, Just for Laughs alumni, and more.

“Who doesn’t need a laugh after what we’ve all been through?” asked Snowed In Comedy Tour in a release. “There’s something for every brand of humour, and everyone will walk away with their own personal favourite.”

Founder Dan Quinn won the Canadian Comedy Competition at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal and has performed on CTV’s Comedy Now, CBC’s The Debaters, and SiriusXM radio. He also won Best of the Fest at the Hubcap Comedy Festival in Moncton.
