Halifax’s Queer Acts is making sure they don’t lose their knack during the winter by warming themselves up with a comedy show this Tuesday, Jan 22 at 8pm at the Company House. The theme of the evening is a twisted homage to mothers, entitled Mommie Dearest.

The lineup includes Scott Contessa Bosse, Megan MacKay, Travis Smith, Megan McDowell and Ian Mullan.
