Laugh Out Loud with the Dad Who Cracks the Code of Joy!
presented by Brendan McLeod

Catch The Joy on four different dates – October 8 through the 11 at 7:00PM!

This performance is part of the Special Presentations.

About the Show

Prepare for an evening of insightful laughter with Brendan McLeod’s “The Joy,” a unique and hilarious comedy that delves into a dad’s unexpected love affair with data and his child’s wonderfully diverse reactions to music. This isn’t just a stand-up routine; it’s a witty exploration: How does a baby react to hearing Whitney Houston for the first time? How about Metallica, or Bach? In this funny, moving storytelling show, JUNO-nominated musician and acclaimed theatre creator Brendan McLeod recounts his newborn daughter’s reactions to the first 1000 songs of her life. In doing so, he breaks down everything from how our body processes music, to how different cultures communicate, to how James Brown learned to dance. Ultimately THE JOY is about the importance of music and family—a tribute to all the things we feel in our heart when we listen with our ears.

The Ultimate Comedy for Music Lovers (and Data Nerds!): Brendan McLeod’s ‘The Joy.
