Local comedian, James Keast will be hosting & opening this event. James Keast spent 25 years as the Editor in Chief of Canadian music magazine Exclaim! Faced with the downturn in both print and the music industry, he turned to something much more lucrative and rewarding: standup comedy. Keast co-produced a Toronto comedy show with Comedy Records, where he hosted for such notable Canadian talent as K. Trevor Wilson, Steph Tolev, DJ Demers, Nick Reynoldson, Keith Pedro and many more. Since relocating to New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Keast has started a free monthly comedy open mic to showcase local talent; in 2024, that show will be taking place at New Glasgow Square.
