On Thursday January 26 it's the tiny comedy show at Scarpetta at the Riviera!
Make plans to enjoy a delicious evening of great food and great comedy, with Headliner Charles Andrew Payne, MC Austin Lonneberg , and feature performer Charles Haycock! With comedy performances from Leah Scheitel , Don Filipchuk, and surprise special guests!
Your Headliner Charles Andrew Payne is an Actor, Comedian, Writer, and Motivational Speaker, and has performed comedy across Canada and the US both at comedy clubs and festivals as well as for many corporations. He has appeared in numerous television shows, films, commercials, and theatre productions including playing Breeze on MacGyver, Triple on The L Word, Jock on Wynonna Earp, and Reverend Reece on Miracle in East Texas. Charles is well known for his conversational comedic storytelling delivery style.
Born and raised in Calgary, your MC Austin Lonneberg had it pretty easy growing up, and all that time spent leading the easy life led to him having some pretty weird thoughts. Weird thoughts he later turned into weird jokes that he would travel across Canada to tell to strangers. Austin's comedy is unique, insightful and hilarious choosing to avoid well trodden territory in favor of blazing his own comedic trail, a trail that has led him to becoming one of Alberta's rising stars and to perform on the YYCOMEDY Festival, the Sled Island music and arts festival and to be featured on a Just For Laughs Originals album taping.
Your feature performer Charles Haycock has been turning heads since taking to the stage in 2012. With a unique performing style, Charles branches off in unexpected directions and offers up a quirky playful style that makes the crowd WANT to listen. He embodies the old saying that "a good comedian says funny things, but a great comedian says things funny"! In 2019, Just For Laughs and Netflix declared Charles as one of the "New Faces of Comedy". He then appeared at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and was also named by CBC Comedy as one of Canada's "Comedians to Watch". Charles has had multiple TV Tapings for the Winnipeg and the Halifax Comedy Festivals in Canada and has been featured on CBC and Sirius XM Radio.
Scarpetta at the Riviera offers great Italian food that is contemporary yet authentic, with hormone-free meats, organic greens, and fresh ingredients. All dough and sauces made fresh in-house. Award winning Pizzas and great gluten-free options too!
Scarpetta Italian Eatery is known as a premiere Italian Restaurant for locals, tourists, families, celebrations, banquets, private events, and romantic evenings, offering an exceptional dining experience in an upscale atmosphere with a casual vibe, with a new location coming to the heart of downtown in Winter 2022.
