Everyone’s a comedian: Province helps make comedy accessible and inclusive

August 2, 2022 – Government of PEI : Comedy is a serious business. Just ask Tanya MacCallum. “Art is an occupation,” says the local stand-up comedian who uses the stage name Tanya Nicolle. “You may have to tell a joke 50 times before you know if it’s a quality joke.”

And with only a handful of venues on PEI where comedians can practice their craft, every opportunity matters.

“If you’re in a larger city, you have access to three different stages a night. So, you can workshop material and build sets within months. Here it can take years to build.”

This summer, though, comedians have another local stage where they can showcase their art – thanks to Tanya and Innovation PEI.

Earlier this year, Tanya received a PEI Arts Grant for her production Patio Laughs.

Submissions for the next round of PEI Arts Grants will begin on September 14, 2022. For more information, go to PEI Arts Grants Funding.
