Rank and Vile: Adult Comedy Show With Kenny Robinson & Darren Frost

**WARNING: THIS IS A "VERY ADULT" STAND-UP COMEDY SHOW**

A double headlining show with Darren ”Little Man Hate” Frost and Kenny “The Raging Bull of Comedy” Robinson is coming to a town near you. Veterans of the Canadian comedy circuit with festivals, TV shows, movies and a fist full of rave reviews under their belts, Kenny and Darren are known across the country for their profane opinionated brand of “in your face” style and social commentary. With sold-out shows at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and with a combined 50 years of comedy in Canada, this show is bound to push your buttons and expand your horizons. The most outrageous, fearless and laugh-provoking material blasting from their mouths that you won’t hear on a comedy stage anywhere else.

We're very excited to bring these two legendary Canadian comedians to the farm. Please get your ticket ASAP as this show will SELL OUT fast. The stand-up comedy in this show may be offensive to some. So please take this as a warning if you're not used to vulgar comedy. NO REFUNDS!

Farmhill Weddings & Events will have fun available to order, so please come at 6:30 pm. when the doors open to order your food, as we would like to have food served before 8:15 p.m. when the show starts.

When: Mar. 25, 12 p.m.

Where: Farmhill Weddings and Events

Pick Up Some Produce at The Peterborough Regional Farmers’ Market

We invite you to listen to the sounds of our local musicians while visiting our 100+ vendor outdoor market May 1 to October 31, rain or shine in the Morrow Building parking lot. From November 1 to April 30, we are located inside the Morrow Building just south of the parking lot.

The establishment of a central market area for individual trade or sales has been a feature of societies all over the world for centuries. This trade has taken place in Peterborough for the past 190 years. This efficient method of commerce (ie. producer, direct to consumer) has gained much interest in recent years as small businesses have grown. We at the Peterborough Farmers’ Market are proud to be part of this popular phenomenon.

As producers of local food and crafts, we stress freshness, quality and value as we deal each and every week with our market patrons. Come and enjoy this traditional shopping experience.
