Brace yourself. The Comic Strippers are about to invade the Arden Theatre. Sounds kind of sexy, maybe even lecherous. But these fellas are not quite Magic Mike or The Full Monty β more like shirtless dads wearing black pants and purple bow ties.

He co-starred on Comedy Inc. When Comedy Inc. A comedy triple-threat who performs improv, sketch and standup, he was widely known to Canadians and enjoyed more options than many. However, in a business where you're only as good as your last show, Danylo was looking to produce his own touring shows.
He flirted with a CSI parody and a variety show. But I needed a concept where the title would get people in the door. I wanted to do something nobody else was doing. One day his wife came home from attending a flesh fest, a male-strip show with girlfriends. It was completely sold out. Their first Canadian premiere was at Fort McMurray to a strong crowd.

His troupe travelled down the American coastline to California, performing in cities such as Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz. But their favourite spot was the island of Kauai in Hawaii. Even if we did poorly, at least we could get a vacation. The Comic Strippers will never be confused with the real Chippendale dancers. There is nothing cringe-worthy. Tell your friends. The plus show takes place Friday, June 16 at 8 p. Anne Street. Visit tickets. About the Author: Anna Borowiecki.
