Celebrate the magic and sparkle of winter in this cosy, snowy, woodsy storytime. 

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 27, at 8:30 PM, we’re bringing a must-see comedy show to Volt Raceway in Bowmanville. Anjelica Scannura headlines.

Anjelica Scannura is a 2025 Just For Laughs New Face of Stand-Up and the first Canadian woman to win the Boston Comedy Festival. She also recently won the Jersey City Comedy Festival, and has performed on iconic stages including Massey Hall and The Wilbur. Her debut comedy EP with JFL Originals can be heard on SiriusXM, and her upcoming recording with JFL Live Sessions will be released later this year. She’s also been featured on the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and CBC’s Laugh Out Loud. She’s opened for Shane Gillis, Joe List, Stavros Halkias, Rachel Feinstein, and Jay Pharoah. On screen, Anjelica has appeared in Disney’s Camp Rock, CTV’s Satisfaction, CBC’s Frankie Drake Mysteries, and Netflix’s Little Italy. Her Don’t Tell Comedy and Just For Laughs New Faces sets can be viewed online, and she recently appeared on Roast Battle Canada at JFL Montreal.

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.
