Locals are invited to join Deborah Kimmett and musical guest Kim Pollard for a "hysterical" comedy show Overnight Sensation taking place in Stratford in late April.
In this show, Kimmett finds herself on the verge of her first old age security check, where she asks herself if it's too late to become an overnight sensation, breaks the stereotype of the older woman, and talks about how to deal with aging parents, hecklers and inheritances.
Overnight Sensation begins April 27 at Revival House.
Tickets are on sale and can be purchased here.
"Few comedians – much fewer female comedians past 60 have a platform in Canadian media," reads Kimmett's news release.
Kimmett's last comedy album Downward Facing Broad aired on CBC Radio to great response and she began to tour before the world was shut down. After 17 years on CBC's radio show The Debaters, Kimmett has a big following with CBC audiences.
Kimmett is often seen on CBC's Winnipeg Comedy Festival, LOL and is a renowned author of Reality is Overrated, That Which Doesn't Kill You Makes You Funnier, and Out Running Crazy.
Kimmett was also nominated for the Governor-General Award for her play Miracle Mother in 1984, and nominated twice for the National Magazine Award for Humour.
Additionally, Kimmett has written 52 episodes of TV on Steve Smith's Go Girl. She also starred in the short movie Keep Coming Back, which brought her the best actress nomination for ACTRA. The movie also debuted at the Palm Springs Film Festival and Whistler Film Festival.
She has appeared on Canadian shows, like Frankie Drake, Tall Boyz, and Gayle Pyle.
