He was quickly invited to join the `Juste pour rire` comedians for parts of their National Tour and has performed in Saskatchewan, Ontario,Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. He does standup in both English and French . Hughie is from North Sydney, NS.
“Hughie has excellent stage presence and was a huge surprise at this year`s festival in Moncton“. – Francois Simard, Vice-President, Just for Laughs

Through his personal life experiences, he is able to take his crowd on a laugh out loud voyage! His act is not to be missed!’’ – Daniel Leblanc, Artistic Director, Festival acadien de Clare

Additionnellement, veuillez noter que toutes les pièces seront surtitrées en anglais afin que nos ami.e.s anglophone.s puisse.ent venir, comprendre, et s’amuser aussi !
Synopsis.
Une femme et un homme sont interrompus lors d’une transaction immobilière par un passant croyant les prendre en plein coït. Leurs vies se partagent leurs haleines, leurs souvenirs, leurs recettes, leurs craintes si tout cela peut même être pris au sérieux, comme les chasseurs de lions, chasseurs du roi des animaux. Ils se lisent des instants de réalité arrivés par la poste et se racontent des histoires pour, quelque part, se quitter tout aussi simplement.

Toutes les trois pièces de théâtre sont de genre et style drastiquement différent les uns les autres. Les pièces ont toutes été choisies par les metteurs en scène personnellement, et ne reflètent pas nécessairement les idées et valeurs du T.DA. Donnant le plus de libertés créatives que possible.
[English]
The Théâtre DesAssimilés (T.DA) and the Conseil Communautaire du Grand-Havre is pleased to present The Garlic Eaters, the first play of three of their new project Premier Acte !
Premier Acte is a theatrical cultivation project where the T.DA assists three amateur directors to put on their first play. Over the past few months, our directors have done their own casting, trained in stage management, acting, and directing, so they can give you the best show possible with a full team of local franco-bilingual actors and designers.
In addition, please note that all pieces will be surtitled in English so that our English-speaking friends can come, understand, and have fun too!
Synopsis.
A woman and a man are interrupted during a real estate transaction by a passer-by who thinks he is taking them in the middle of love-making. Their lives are shared their breaths, their memories, their recipes, their fears if any of this can be taken seriously, as the lion hunters… hunters of the king of animals. They read each other moments of reality that came in the mail and tell each other stories in order to leave each other just as simply as they arrived.

Hello City Presents: Big Holiday Fun Time Party
2019-12-16 19:30 - 22:30
HO HO HO – merry holidays everyone! Hello City is here to fill your hearts with some warmth and laughter before sending you on your way to stressful turkey makings and awkward family chatter by the fire 🔥
Each month Hello City features a local Haligonian to tell stories about living, loving, and laughing in Halifax! This month’s guest is Halifax’s 2019 funniest comedian: Lindsay Dauphinee!
A chronic over-sharer, Lindsay Dauphinee got into stand-up because it was cheaper than therapy. You might know her from producing and co-hosting the Adam and Lindsay Present comedy shows at The Seahorse. She’s also performed on Eastlink’s Stand and Deliver, at the Queer Acts and Halifax Fringe festivals, and once at a funeral. You can find her on Instagram at @yhzlindsay
But THAT’S NOT IT! We also are going to have a very special set from Neptune Theatre’s Improv Conservatory: The Improviders!
WHERE? The Bus Stop Theatre
WHEN? Monday, December 16tg – 7:30PM
HOW MUCH? Pay A Bill ($5,$10,$20)

The Bus Stop theatre is a wheelchair accessible building. The Bus Stop Theatre is located on Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. Hello City acknowledges that we benefit from being on this land and are grateful to get to live and play here.
