Letterkenny star Jeff McEnery brings stand-up comedy to Lindsay

On Friday, Nov. 13, comedian and actor Jeff McEnery, best known for playing Alexander on the hit Canadian television series Letterkenny, will bring his stand-up comedy to Celebrations in downtown Lindsay, where a former church will trade sermons for punchlines for one unforgettable night.

McEnery, an award-winning Canadian stand-up comedian and actor, has performed at comedy clubs, theatres and festivals across the country. While many fans recognize him from Letterkenny, his stand-up career has earned him a devoted following for his sharp observations, candid storytelling and unmistakably Canadian sense of humour.

For McEnery, returning to Lindsay is something to look forward to.

“I’ve always had fun performing in Lindsay. While it’s only about 90 minutes outside of Toronto, it feels like a world away. It’s a city with a small-town feel to it and those are the type of people who I love performing for most,” said McEnery in a press release.

The performance comes just one week after the scheduled November 6 premiere of I Kill the Bear, a new Crave television series from Letterkenny creator Jared Keeso, in which McEnery also appears.

“Playing Alexander on Letterkenny was the most fun I’ve had in my entire career. When Jared asked if I wanted to play a role in his new series, I couldn’t say yes fast enough,” says McEnery.

The venue itself adds another layer to the evening. Celebrations, a former church transformed into an event space, has become a gathering place for special occasions and live entertainment in downtown Lindsay. Hosting a comedy show there on Friday the 13th is an opportunity the team is embracing.

“We’re always looking for opportunities to bring great live entertainment to Lindsay, and having Jeff McEnery perform at Celebrations is something we’re really looking forward to. There’s something especially fun about hosting a comedy show in a former church on Friday the 13th. We think it’s going to be a memorable night,” said Taya Sharman, event coordinator at Celebrations.

The evening will be hosted by Canadian comedian Dom Pare, whose credits include Just For Laughs, CBC and SiriusXM, and who has opened for comedy legend Howie Mandel.

Beyond the laughs, Celebrations sees the event as another opportunity to bring the community together.

“I love that we get to be a part of what makes downtown Lindsay such a vibrant place. At the end of the day, we’re not just hosting events – we’re creating more reasons for people in our community to connect, and that’s a pretty special thing,” said Sharman.
