An all-female lineup of stand-up comedians performs this week in the Lower Mainland to coincide with International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

And the Queens of Comedy tour<\/a> kicks off with two shows at Port Moody\u2019s Inlet Theatre on Thursday, March 5.<\/p>\n

Show producer and comedian Jane Stanton<\/a> told Freshet News she looks forward to returning to Port Moody.<\/p>\n

For this run, she\u2019s bringing with her Cassidy Furman, Niki Mohrdar and Sophia Johnson, who will also join her for weekend gigs in Whistler, Hope and Squamish.<\/p>\n

The Port Moody date, however, will have a charitable component: Partial proceeds will be donated to the RPDB Ripped Tides, a dragon boat team that is competing next month in the Inlet Spring Regatta<\/a> in Port Moody.<\/p>\n

Stanton met with two \u201cRippers\u201d rowers after a New Year\u2019s Eve show in Pitt Meadows and thought the team would be a good fit. A former competitive soccer player, Stanton said she wanted to support a women\u2019s sports team and to give back to the community.<\/p>\n

Stanton said she expects most of the audience at her Port Moody comedy shows will be women.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a ladies\u2019 night out,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re free to talk about anything we want. \u2026 We\u2019re giving our perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

The aim, she said, is to showcase female talent while also giving ticket-holders a laugh while sharing stories.<\/p>\n

All four comedians have extensive industry credits: Furman and Mohrdar were featured on Just For Laughs and the SiriusXM\/Just For Laughs Originals Album (2024).<\/p>\n

Johnson, an actor, was a writer on New Zealand\u2019s hit comedy show\u00a07 Days\u00a0while Stanton has appeared on CBC\u2019s The Debaters and Laugh Out Loud, and she acted in Disney\u2019s\u00a0The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers,\u00a0When We Rise and The Twilight Zone. As well, Stanton has shared stages with Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, Melissa Villase\u00f1or and Michael Che.<\/p>\n

Stanton said she plans to take Queens of Comedy<\/a> to the Okanagan and Vancouver Island this spring.<\/p>\n
