Published: November 5, 2025

What do a Canada’s Got Talent finalist, international comedians, and a classic 80s band all have in common? They’re all coming to the Algonquin Commons Theatre. Find your next Ottawa outing right here:

Mind-Blowing Mentalism:

Witness the same magic, mind-reading, and hypnosis that’s amazed the likes of celebrities like Lilly Singh and Howie Mandel when Savio Joseph brings his show — Wonderstruck — to the Algonquin Commons Theatre on Friday, November 21. From predicting decisions before they’re made to revealing secrets no one could possibly know, this is a night where the magic happens all around you.

A Comedy Hat Trick:

On Thursday, November 27, join John Achkar for a night filled with candid observations and relatable moments in a heartfelt comedy show performed primarily in Arabic. The next day, beloved puppet comedian Randy Feltface brings the razor-sharp humour that’s made him a global sensation to Ottawa. Get your seats while you can — his first show is already sold out.

Speaking of global sensations, Biswa Kalyan Rath hits the ACT stage on November 29 with the funny, nerdy perspective that made him one of India’s most popular comedians. If you’re in the market for a comedy show performed in Hindi, you owe it to yourself to see Biswa live.

An 80s Throwback:

Is it safe to dance? Men Without Hats says YES! This classic 80s band — known for chart toppers like “The Safety Dance” and “Pop Goes the World” — is back in action and bringing the show to Ottawa. Get ready to relive the 80s and enjoy new hits on Tuesday, November 18.

Holiday Drag:

Over-the-top camp, side-splitting gags, brand new songs, iconic costumes, and more. Drag queen powerhouses BenDeLaCreme & Jinkx Monsoon bring their wildly successful “The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show” to the ACT. Catch them live in Ottawa on Tuesday, November 25.
