Ballet Jorgen du Canada once again presents their very Canadian version of the Nutcracker. Choreographed by Bengt Jorgen to Tchaikovsky's timeless music, The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition is a visual feast that features over 100 costumes, and backdrops comprised of well-known 20th Century artworks. Among the usual cavalcade of mice and tin soldiers, expect to see a few Mounties and lumberjacks.

This Anglo-Indian Canadian stand-up comic is one of most successful touring, and has been nominated for numerous awards. Despite having eluding the stratospheric level of fame as his peers, Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, his last world tour netted him $19m, putting him third on the list of the highest earners on the comedy circuit.
