vancouver sketch fest | peter carlone | jan 23-25

Pacific Theatre audiences will remember Peter Carlone from his many hilarious roles on our stage. He has joined us at SIDESHOW the past two seasons as one half of the comedy duo Peter 'n Chris, he was featured in FUNNY STUFF last year, and who could forget his turn as Ellard in this year's THE FOREIGNER?

Now Peter is donning a new hat as Artistic Director of Vancouver's Sketch Comedy Festival coming up January 23rd-25th. More info about the festival below:
