Now that the snow has all melted, it feels like fall again, just in time for the first weekend of October. The Calgary Homestretch’s Ellis Choe has a menu of entertainment options for some great October activities.
Cheech and Chong
Comedy duo Cheech and Chong are on what they call their O Cannabis Tour, to celebrate the recent legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada. Cheech Marin is 73 and Tommy Chong is 81 now, and they’re still going strong with this all new show “featuring 50 years of stories, skits and songs.”
It’s their first ever cross-Canada tour, and the Calgary show takes place Friday at 8 p.m. at the Jubilee Auditorium.
Live music in Calgary
Pavlo is an internationally renowned, award-winning guitarist from Toronto, known for his Mediterranean music. He has performed for Prince Charles, worked with The Tenors and Oscar Lopez, and he’s coming to Bella Concert Hall this Saturday night.
If you love the blues, you may want to head over to Arts Commons Friday or Saturday night to see Jontavious Willis — he’s hailed as an American blues prodigy.
Also, The Real Sickies, a fun, pop punk rock band from Edmonton, plays in Calgary Friday night at Broken City.
