Comedy Nuggets & Volt Raceway brings club pros on Friday nights right to YOU out here in the ‘burbs! Kick off your weekend with an epic night of comedy!

On Friday, April 4, at 8:30 PM, we’re bringing a must-see comedy show to Volt Raceway in Bowmanville. Zabrina Douglas headlines.

Zabrina Douglas, a stand-up comedian and registered nurse from Brampton, has been making audiences laugh for over 14 years. She has performed alongside renowned comedians like Gilbert Gottfried and Luenell and made her Just for Laughs Montreal debut with a Gala performance. In 2020, she gained wider recognition as the headliner of Laughter from the Frontlines, a virtual comedy show featuring healthcare workers. She also created Things Black Girls Say, a live show at Toronto’s Comedy Bar, which she later turned into a comedy album. Her album Things Black Girls Say was nominated for Comedy Album of the Year at the 2023 Juno Awards. A mother of five, Douglas blends her experiences in healthcare, motherhood, and Black Canadian culture into her sharp and relatable comedy.

This is a live comedy show — nothing is censored, and nothing is off-limits! The comedians say what they want, and if that ruffles your feathers, well… that’s on you. If you’re easily offended, might be best to stay home and yell at your TV instead—otherwise, buckle up and enjoy the ride!

A guaranteed good night out with a date, family (subject matter often R rated) or group of friends. Comedy Nuggets is committed to providing a fun night out. If you’re looking for a good time, this is one of the best things to do this weekend in Bowmanville.

Enjoy an evening of mystery with criminal defense lawyer and best-selling author Robert Rotenburg, as he speaks with communications expert and author Lloyd Rang about One Minute More, an enthralling action thriller following one of Toronto's favourite detectives.

Bestselling author and criminal lawyer Robert Rotenberg discusses the heart-pounding prequel in his detective Ari Greene series. Set in 1988--a mere 100 hours before world leaders gather for the G7 summit--One Minute More follows young police officer Ari Greene on his first-ever case: a border-crossing chase of a would-be assassin about to cross into Canada to kill the heads of the seven most powerful countries in the world.
