PICTOU, N.S. – From Vegas to St. John’s, Just For Laughs veteran Derek Edwards is universall­y considered to be among the comic elite.

Gemini nominee for Best Performanc­e in a Comedy.

And Rick Mercer has said, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.”

“So Here's the Thing ...”, Edwards’s new 90-minute stand-up comedy show is a richly textured and enthrallin­g “cut above,” delivered with pace and authority by the consummate Canadian comedian. Tickets to Edwards’s decoste show are $48.

LAYNE GREENE SECOND ALBUM LAUNCH

Saturday, Oct. 26

The name Layne Greene may be familiar to those around the Pictou County area, as he grew up in New Glasgow. However, the indie/folk musician has been referring to Kingston, Ont., as his home base of late, but he plans to make a return to the area in the near future.

Greene is kicking off his Nova Scotia show dates to support the release of his second album, Resolution­s near his hometown at the decoste Performing Arts Centre in Pictou.

The show will be on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m. The show will be opened by Halifaxbas­ed band Sore Loser. Tickets for the Layne Greene show are $25, or $23 for members.

Tickets to all shows are available by contacting the decoste Box Office Monday to Friday between 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 902485-8848 or 1-800-353-5338, at 99 Water St., Pictou or by going online at decostecen­tre.ca.

This will be one of the shows that the PARL library branches will have the free Arts Are For Everyone show passes available for. Contact your local branch to determine availabili­ty.
