The Unknown Comedy Club has announced it will celebrate the 13th anniversary of The Underground Comedy Railroad with its annual tour across Canada during Black History Month. The tour includes two shows at the Halifax Live Comedy Club.
“Each year, The Underground Comedy Railroad invites local Black comedians to perform at each tour stop, increasing their opportunities to reach a larger audience and often to perform on stages they might not otherwise have the chance,” say organizers in a media release.
The Underground Comedy Railroad, created in 2012 by Rodney Ramsey and Daniel Woodrow, provides opportunities and introduces the voices of black Canadian comedians to new audiences. Each year, a new line-up of comics is selected for their uniquely Canadian comedic perspectives on everything from race to everyday life.
Comedians Tamara Shevon and Keesha Brownie will join Ramsey and Woodrow for their two Halifax shows. Local comedians will also appear.
The Unknown Comedy Club presents the 2025 Underground Comedy Railroad at the Halifax Live Comedy Club (1737 Grafton St, Halifax) on February 7 & 8, 2025. Tickets are now available on Eventbrite, or visit comedyrailroad.com for more information.
