Mike Ward and the Guess Who are feeling happier this Friday
Friday on My Mind is a selective collection of five intriguing events taking place in Montreal over the weekend. One notable event is the performance of stand-up comedian Mike Ward at the Bell Centre on Friday and Saturday.
Ward expressed relief that the Montreal Canadiens would not be playing at the Bell Centre on those nights as it would have forced him to relocate his shows, which are scheduled to take place consecutively for cost-saving reasons. The Canadiens will be competing in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final series in North Carolina on Friday, allowing Ward to proceed with his planned performances stress-free.
In anticipation of his show, Ward remarked on the unconventional ease with which he crafted it, aiming to depart from his usual risqué content to create a show that would leave audiences with positive feelings. Despite his typically provocative style on stage, Ward intended to deliver a set that would resonate with attendees long after leaving the venue.
The Guess Who
Saturday at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier.
Nativist rock band The Guess Who, hailing from Winnipeg, will be performing at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier on Saturday.
Luke Combs
Virtually the hottest country music artist in the world, Luke Combs will entertain at Place Bell on Friday night. The North Carolina native is renowned for his heartfelt ballads offering a raw depiction of emotion and reality, making him an exceptional talent in the genre.
Leeroy Stagger
Saturday and Sunday at Le Ministère.
Canadian singer-songwriter Leeroy Stagger is set to captivate audiences with his profound and emotive lyrics at Le Ministère over the weekend, promising an intimate and soul-stirring performance.
Montreal Asian International Film Festival
INAATE/SE/ [it shines a certain way. to a certain place./it flies in a good way.]
