As announced here, Black Sheep Comedy has put our events on hold for the time being. We are very aware, however, that Canada can do with a bit of laughter, now more than ever. Also, comedians who have had their gigs cancelled for the foreseeable future would greatly benefit from the support of fellow Canadians.
So, while you are self-isolating, we have a suggestion that will help elevate your mood while doing something good for local talent. Grab your partner, roommate, domesticated furball or emotional support pillow. Open up a bottle of wine and spend the evening laughing along to a comedy album or two.
We have compiled a list of awesome Canadian comedy albums, in alphabetical order below. How do we know they’re awesome? Because we asked actual comedians which albums they are listening to during the Corontine. Here are their answers:
