JFL NORTHWEST ADDS A FLURRY OF FUNNY TO FESTIVAL LINEUP
(Vancouver, BC) – Vancouver’s comedy festival, JFL NorthWest, presented in association with SiriusXM, returns for a third year of hilarity from Thursday, March 1st to Saturday, March 10th, 2018 at multiple venues across Vancouver, including the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vogue Theatre, Vancouver Playhouse, Rio Theatre, Biltmore Cabaret, ANNEX Theatre, Fox Cabaret, The Comedy Mix, and Yuk Yuk’s.
In addition to his two sold-out performances at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on March 8 (7pm & 9:30pm), JFL NorthWest announces a 3rd performance for Bill Burr to take place on March 7 at the Orpheum Theatre at 7pm. An American comedian, writer and actor, Bill Burr first gained notoriety for his recurring role on the second season of Chappelle’s Show. He developed a comedic styling of uniformed logic that made him a regular with Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon. In 2017, Bill premiered the second season of his hit animated Netflix series, F Is For Family and his fifth hour-long stand-up comedy special, Walk Your Way Out, also on Netflix. He recently completed his fourth European theatre tour, which featured stops in Ireland, the U.K., Amsterdam, Germany, Belgium, and his first appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Comedians, actors, and writers The Lucas Brothers (Keith and Kenny Lucas) continue their rise as two of the freshest, most dynamic new faces on the comedy scene.

Keith and Kenny are the creators of the animation series Lucas Bros. Moving Co. and voiced the series’ main characters, narrating hilarious and absurdist tales. The brothers also hosted the web series The Super Late Morning Show on Comedy Central and appeared on The Grinder, starring Rob Lowe, and 22 Jump Street alongside Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ice Cube.
