Aries Spears

Ever since New York native Aries Spears was 14 years old, he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene throughout America.

His quick wit, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the "Musts" in the US.

As a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Aries brought a fresh, hip style to the already edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries’s talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons.

Venue opens at 6:30pm, theatre doors open at 7pm.

Mythos Ragnarok

7:00 PM19:00

Mythos Ragnarok

Phil McIntyre Live, in association with Canadian promoters SMW Entertainment, is excited to announce the North American debut of Mythos: Ragnarök. This one-of-a-kind theatre show will tour through Atlantic Canada, visiting five cities across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island in July 2024.

Unique in the world, Mythos: Ragnarök skillfully weaves ancient myths and legends into an original story. It is the only theatre experience to feature a cast composed of classically-trained professional wrestlers, creating some of the most intense and thrilling fight scenes ever to grace the stage. The story follows Odin (Ed Gamester) and Loki (Michael Reese) as they struggle to overcome insurmountable odds—including primaeval giants, rival gods and goddesses, and each other's conflicting ambitions—in a darkly comic adaptation of the well-known Norse myths. This blend of action, swordplay, and captivating storytelling offers a distinct theatrical experience.

Named a “Must-See Show” at the infamous Edinburgh Fringe, Mythos: Ragnarök has played to sold-out audiences across the United Kingdom and Australia, earning accolades such as a position on the Telegraph’s List of Best Theatre Shows and Playbill’s Picks of Fringe 2023. At the show's helm, creator, director, and lead actor Ed Gamester reflects, “I’ve been absolutely blown away by the response to our show. I knew this was a form of theatre that needed to be created and shared, but I didn’t expect people to fall in love with it like they have. Canadian audiences are going to really love the show, and most of all, we’re excited for audiences to have the chance to reconnect with Maddison.”

Gamester is referring to Maddison Miles, the Halifax native and breakout professional wrestling star, who, after moving to England in October 2019, joined the cast of Mythos: Ragnarök in December 2021, originating the role of Freyja—a role she has performed in all but six of the play's one hundred and twenty-five performances.

Miles, twice ranked as one of the world’s top hundred female wrestlers, recalls her chance casting at the inception of Mythos: Ragnarök. “My partner, Charlie, who wrestles as Charlie Winston, is six-foot-nine, so Ed called looking for a literal giant to be part of the show. It was only when we got talking that he said he thought he might have this part for me. The rest was history.”

Speaking about bringing Mythos to Atlantic Canada, Miles says it was never an “if” but a “when.” “Since I started posting pictures of performances online, people have been saying they wanted to see this. Now, I get to bring it home and share it with my community. That means a lot to me.”

Steve Hofstetter
Aug
22
8:00 PM20:00

Steve Hofstetter

Author, columnist, and comedian Steve Hofstetter is often called the hardest working man in show-business. With all due respect to the late James Brown.

Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood", VH1's "Countdown", Sundance's "On the Road in America", and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special", where he thankfully did not cry. He is the host and executive producer of "Laughs" on Fox networks, where he only cries occasionally.

One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the original writer for collegehumor.com has also released six albums. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.

After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) was syndicated on over 170 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's second live comedy album ("Cure For the Cable Guy") reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His third album ("Dark Side of the Room") was the first ever pay-what-you-want" comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway. His fourth album consisted of an hour of 100% ad-libbed material, which is, frankly, nuts. And his fifth album hit #1 on iTunes' comedy charts, which is also a bit nuts.

Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook (still the world record), 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.

While Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15, mainly to impress girls. At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week", an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. Yes, he's also a Mets fan. Poor kid.

While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter syndicated his column in several newspapers.

Without his glasses, Hofstetter also looks a great deal like Michael Rappaport.

Doors open 7pm, show starts 8pm.

Feeling Seen - Book Tour

That’s right, we are taking this show on the road in 2023 – a national tour (without the bus – we’re not that cool yet) dedicated to the release of my new book, Feeling Seen.   

But my friends, this is not your average book tour. And I know, from the bottom of my soul, that this is something we all need right now.  

This tour is about connection. It’s about Feeling Seen. It’s about how we got so lost in this experience of being human – and how we can find our way back home together. Each of these nights, in each of these cities, for at least a couple hours, we’ll dive right into the beautiful cycle of emotion, acknowledgment, and reconnection.  

Full disclosure: I will rip your hearts out, and then I will put them back together. There will be laughter, joy, inspiration, calls to action, and a lot of levity in these amazing eight cities, in small, close-up venues. Tickets are ON SALE NOW!

TICKETS WON’T LAST. Get yours today. Xo
