Famed Canadian comedian brings 2015 tour to Guelph Sunday, November 15

GUELPH, ON November 2, 2015 – With his keen eye for satire and kinetically-charged delivery, Ron James takes audiences on a non-stop comedy roller coaster ride. The famed Canadian comedian brings his 2015 Pedal to the Metal Tour to River Run Centre on Sunday, November 15, at 7 p.m. James will perform on the Main Stage as part of the Comedy Series presented by River Run Centre.

Hailed by critics from coast to coast, James has been touring the nation for 15 years, performing sold-out shows from the Maritimes to British Columbia. During marathon, side-splitting, performances, he cuts through contemporary culture using razor-sharp wit and uncompromising comedic standards.

“A man of a million words and a million laughs,” the Globe and Mail said of James. “Always delivers.”

In addition to his stand-up performances, James resume includes starring in CBC Television’s The Ron James Show for five seasons, as well as creating and starring in two seasons of the television comedy series Blackfly.
