Thunder Bay might still be buried under snow (because of course we are), but inside the Community Auditorium, things are heating up. Acting General Manager Andrew Edwards has officially announced the spring lineup, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting seasons we’ve had in a while!

Thunder Bay’s spring might still look like a snow‑globe someone won’t stop shaking, but inside the Community Auditorium, things are heating up. Acting General Manager Andrew Edwards has officially revealed the Spring 2026 lineup – and it’s stacked with big laughs, big music, and big names.

Listen to Dee’s Full Interview with Andrew Edwards, Acting General Manager of the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium here.

Here’s a look at what’s coming:

The Comic Strippers – April 8, 2026 at 7:30 PM

The Comic Strippers are back with their wildly popular all‑male improv comedy show – yes, they perform shirtless, but the real attraction is the comedy. Their quick wit, chaotic improv energy, and fearless audience interaction have earned them a cult following across Canada.

This show is the perfect mix of improv mayhem and boy‑band charm, and Thunder Bay is absolutely going to eat it up.

Derek Seguin – April 10, 2026 at 7:30 PM

One of Canada’s top stand‑up comics returns after a sold‑out 2024 show. Derek Seguin brings a brand‑new set, his signature bilingual bite, and that warm‑but‑savage humour fans love.

He’s a two‑time Juno nominee, a favourite on CBC’s The Debaters, and he’s bringing Thunder Bay’s own Trevor Green as his opening act.

This one’s going to feel like a homecoming – with punchlines.

George Lopez – April 18, 2026 at 7:30 PM

Yes, that George Lopez. A true comedy legend with decades of stand‑up, TV, and late‑night under his belt. Known for his sharp takes on family, culture, and everyday absurdities, Lopez brings that classic “did he really just say that?” edge that fans adore.

This show is 18+, so expect him to go full Lopez – unfiltered, iconic, and absolutely unforgettable.

Tim Hicks – May 24, 2026 at 8:00 PM

Canadian country powerhouse Tim Hicks rolls into Thunder Bay with his Going Somewhere Tour. Expect the hits – “Stronger Beer,” “No Truck Song,” and more — plus the high‑octane, boots‑stomping, tailgate‑party energy he’s famous for.

If you’ve ever been to a Tim Hicks show, you know: he doesn’t just perform… he detonates the room.
