Times Colonist

An evening with Jack Knox

-

Join the Sidney Literary Festival for an evening of laugh-out-loud humour as Jack Knox muses on some of the people who shape the Island we live on.

Jack Knox is the author of two bestsellin­g humour books — Hard Knox: Musings from the Edge of Canada and Opportunit­y Knox: Twenty Years of Award Losing Humour Writing’, both based on his popular column at the Victoria Times Colonist and both long-listed for the Leacock Medal for Humour. A third book, On The Rocks With Jack Knox: Islanders I Will Never Forget, will be published in fall 2018. Knox’s career highlights include being blasted with blowhole spray by Luna the orca whale, interviewi­ng a nude porn star, and getting a phone call from Barack Obama four days before the 2008 presidenti­al election.

In his spare time, Jack performs in a rock ‘n’ roll band with members of his Tour de Rock cycling team.

The reading takes place Friday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Shoal Centre in Sidney, 10030 Resthaven Dr. Doors open at 6:30.
