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

On Saturday, December 6, at 8:30 PM, we’re bringing a must-see comedy show to Volt Raceway in Bowmanville. Luke Lynndale headlines.

Luke Lynndale is a touring comedian who has performed at the Tower City Comedy Festival (Texas, TX) and Louisiana Big Gator Comedy Festival (New Orleans, LA). When Luke is performing, hang on for the ride – it’s fast and hilarious. Luke Lynndale’s comedy is truly original and organic, like no other. Luke’s authenticity and ability to connect emotionally with audiences has made him a standout voice at comedy clubs such as the Hollywood Improv (Los Angeles, LA), Krackpots Comedy Club (Massillon, OH), and Comedy Bar (Toronto, ON).

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.

May cause uncontrollable fits of laughter.

Seating: 8:00 pm, Showtime: 8:30 pm.
* The show starts promptly at 8:30 pm.

This event is 19+ and all guests will need valid ID to enter.

Join us for a free and fun community Christmas Market. Discover unique gifts from 20 + local vendors. Complimentary hot apple cider & wine tasting too. A great way to start or finish your Christmas list while supporting local talent!
