Comedy Nuggets & Volt Raceway brings club pros on Friday nights right to YOU out here in the ‘burbs! Kick off your weekend with an epic night of comedy!

On Friday, March 28, at 8:30 PM, we’re bringing a must-see comedy show to Volt Raceway in Bowmanville. Gavin Stephens headlines.

Gavin Stephens is a critically acclaimed Canadian comedian recognized for his insightful and socially conscious humor. His comedy album All Inclusive Coma was nominated for Comedy Album of the Year at the 2022 Juno Awards. A former cast member of Comedy Inc. (2003–2007), he has been a staple in the Canadian comedy scene for years.

Growing up in Markham with working-class Afro-Caribbean parents, Stephens developed a comedic style rooted in philosophy and sharp observations on identity, class, and social structures. His ability to present complex ideas in a relatable, everyman style has made him a favorite among audiences. His career highlights include performances at Just for Laughs and SXSW, as well as being named one of the “10 Funniest Canadians” by E! Network and winning NOW Magazine’s “Best Local Stand-up Comic.”

Outside of comedy, he hosts the leftist podcast Uncolonized, enjoys knitting, and is an avid Raptors fan. His ideal day consists of watching cartoons, reading comics, and following indie wrestling.

Kate Davis has been a staple in Canadian comedy for over 20 years, earning 12 Canadian Comedy Award nominations, including the Phil Hartman Award. She starred in, wrote, and produced Best Before, which won at the 2017 Canadian Comedy Awards, and has had an hour-long comedy special on CTV and the Comedy Network. A familiar voice on SiriusXM, CBC Radio’s Laugh Out Loud, and The Debaters, she has performed alongside Lewis Black and Seth Meyers. Touring globally as both a comedian and speaker, she has even opened for President Bill Clinton and Barbara Walters. Kate is a sought-after act for corporate events, blending humor with sharp social commentary. Her comedy albums include House Arrest with Howl & Roar Records and Tested Positive, recorded behind plexiglass at 50% capacity during the pandemic, reminding her of a past gig in a hockey arena beside a Zamboni.

This is a live comedy show — nothing is censored, and nothing is off-limits! The comedians say what they want, and if that ruffles your feathers, well… that’s on you. If you’re easily offended, might be best to stay home and yell at your TV instead—otherwise, buckle up and enjoy the ride!

A guaranteed good night out with a date, family (subject matter often R rated) or group of friends. Comedy Nuggets is committed to providing a fun night out. If you’re looking for a good time, this is one of the best things to do this weekend in Bowmanville.
