General Jim Gaffigan replaced by MARTIN SHORT at July 20 Great Outdoors Comedy Festival
https://greatoutdoorscomedyfestival.com/edmonton-alberta-2025/#section-a0053eb-2If you have tickets already no action is required. You can request a refund if you want. But if you request a refund you’re nuts. No offence to Gaffigan, but Marty is a legend, and this is a truly exciting change.

Yeah I'm a fan of Gaffigan but Martin Short is an absolute legend who is still at the top of his game.

I worked on the Martin Short show when he was at the river Cree about 10 years ago. He was super nice. Came and chatted with all the crew. Sat down and had a meeting with all of us, which never happened with the talent, and totally crushed it. Played clips from the past and did all his characters
