8PM JOKETOWN @ THEATRE SAINTE-CATHERINE
For the two years Joketown has run amok, most mayors using the town hall as if it had a revolving door and never staying longer than two terms in a row! Our current Queen, Deirdre Trudeau, has been good and benevolent (and most of all, very very funny). But her rule has been called into question- for it is too good to be true! The citizens of Joketown have begged- and we have listened. It is time to elect a new MATRIARCH. And what better candidates than our former mayor-ladies!
This Ladyfest some of the greatest artist-comedian-actors of Montreal have gathered to build the cast of Joketown, a short comedy show wherein these Pun Politicians™ will write, produce, and perform FIVE BRAND NEW COMEDIES in LESS THAN A WEEK to stake their claims for Queen of Joketown. Come exercise your democratic right to vote- the winner IS brought into power by audience applause after all
Featuring: Deirdre Trudeau, Tatyana Olal, Kelly Kay, Tracy Hurren, Sehar Manji, Lar Simms, Sandi Armstrong, Alex Brown, Martha Graham, Nicky Fournier, Alison Natural, Sijia Li, Erin Hall, Dana El-saleh & Laura Buchanan

10PM THE DOWNSTAIRS MIXUP @ THEATRE SAINT-CATHERINE
Do ya love me? Weirdness abounds, absurdity thrives, and audiences roar in this monthly show that is teaming up with Ladyfest to close down Saturday night with a bang.
The Downstairs Mix-Up is a show where comedians, improvisors, story-tellers and beyond are invited to share their talents in ways that they came up with maybe in a dream and that break down barriers of what can make people laugh! This is a full-on OPEN-CONCEPT comedy show. Poems? Short plays? Characters? Straight up absurdity? As long as it counts as funny, we are your (wo)man(s)!
Hosted by Rachel Gendron and Emma Wilkie
Featuring: Tranna Wintour (MTL), Laura Flynn (MTL), Alon Azimov (MTL), Tatyana Ola (MTL), Bianca Yates (MTL), Emery Fine (MTL) & Iain MacNeil (MTL)
