Comedy Night under the Big Tent - Thursday, August 21, 2025

Quayle’s Comedy Festival returns for another round of laughs in the fields at the beautiful Quayle’s Brewery!
This two-night outdoor comedy event is hosted by local favourite Daniel Shaw, and features a powerhouse lineup of headliners: 

🎤 Adam Christie (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Just For Laughs) – August 21
🎤 Fiona O’Brien (CBC, SiriusXM) – August 22

Join us for one night or both nights.  Each night  features a handpicked lineup of top Canadian comedy talent, set against the backdrop of Quayle’s hop fields. Great drinks, delicious food, and some of the best stand-up in the country.

HOST
Daniel Shaw
Winner of Corus Entertainment’s Funniest Canadian, Daniel Shaw has been entertaining audiences across Canada for nearly a decade. Whether performing in comedy clubs, theaters, or festivals, Daniel's disarmingly absurd views on life and parenting keep audiences laughing and slightly concerned. His debut album, "Parental Guidance," is available on all streaming platforms and being played on SIRIUS XM. Having shared the stage with some of Canada’s greatest comedians, including Scott Thompson, Kenny vs. Spenny, and Rick Mercer, Daniel is ready to carve out his own path—or at least find a way to escape his toddler for an evening.
