Stand-up comedians Brad Bryans and Ernie Vicente will be opening for headlining comedian Casey Corbin (Just for Laughs, Comedy Now, MTV, SiriusXM) during the two live shows.

Each show is over an hour of stand-up comedy accompanied by a dinner, chosen from a limited menu. 100% of ticket and dinner profits will go to supporting YES.

YES offers many services for those ages 16 to 24 and families, including a 24-hour staffed shelter equipped with 30 beds.

“YES is profoundly under-resourced as the primary agency serving youth and families experiencing homelessness in Peterborough. We depend on our community to help keep us here to offer safety and support out of crisis. Events like Phil's Comedy Show at Gerti's not only helps our downtown revitalize, but also helps to provide much-needed recovery to those of us who are struggling,” said Brooke Erickson, development lead at the YES Shelter for Youth and Families.

Early show dinner is to start at 5 p.m. with the show beginning at 6:15 p.m., and the late show will serve dinner at 8 p.m. and start at 9:15 p.m at Gerti’s (225 Hunter St W, Peterborough) on Dec. 1.

Show tickets are $60 each, available at https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/phillip-jolicoeur-30925617501.
