Lots of laughs are coming to the city this October for the Canadian Comedy Awards and Festival.
The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency is helping bring the laughs to Atlantic Canada for the first time with a $125 thousand dollar investment.
Comedian Tim Steeves helped make the announcement, and says the best part about the festival is how accessible everyone is.
Steeves says performers will not be jumping on planes after their show, so it will be easy for anyone to meet their favourite comedian.
The event will be spread out between October 1st to the 4th, with the award ceremony being held at the Imperial Theatre.
The nominations and headliners will be announced in June.
