FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Funny, Daddy - Sussex Comedian Lloyd Ravn’s First One-Person Show
February 16 at Sussex Regional High School
December 14, 2012,
Sussex – Parenting can be tough, and Sussex-based stand-up comedian Lloyd
Ravn says the less frequently you laugh, the tougher it is. The importance of
laughter, especially in the more difficult times of parenting, or life in
general, is the theme of Ravn’s first one-person show, Funny, Daddy which is debuting on Saturday, February 16 at the
Sussex Regional High School Theatre, presented by The Bay of Funny Comedy
Circuit.
Lloyd is the father of three boys, who by show time will be
8, 5 and 2, and is fully aware of the ups and downs of parenting. From dealing with serious health issues to the
usual stressors of raising kids, Lloyd relies on humour to get him through, and
will talk during Funny, Daddy about
how laughter during challenging times has helped him.
The adults-only show will run approximately 1 hour, 15
minutes and will include bits from Lloyd’s stand-up act as well as more serious
stories, along with videos and photos. As ticket buyers are told on
BayOfFunny.com, “you’ll (hopefully) laugh, you (might even) cry, you’ll (at the
very least) have a night out without the kids.”
Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door, and are
available at www.BayOfFunny.com,
directly from Lloyd (who will deliver them around the Sussex area) at 434-3186
or from Oceans of Ink at 14 Church Ave, or Morris Music on Main Street.
About Lloyd Ravn
Born and raised in Sussex, NB, Lloyd began performing
stand-up comedy in Toronto in 2006. His material is autobiographical in nature,
focusing on his life as a husband, father of three, former chef, and the
youngest person named Lloyd most people have ever met. Lloyd is the founder and
Producer of the Bay of Funny Comedy Circuit, with shows happening all over the
Maritimes. He has performed at venues across Canada and in the United States,
including being selected out of 700 entrants as a top-10 finalist in the
"Canada's Next Top Comic 2011" competition. Lloyd can be heard on
Sirius XM Satellite Radio and has performed on several successful fundraisers
he organized for two of his favourite Canadian charities, featuring some of the
biggest stars in Canadian comedy. He was featured as the Comedian of the Week
by GQ Magazine in the UK, who called him one of "North America's
hottest young comics" (even though he recently turned 40) and predicted he
would soon "storm the Just for Laughs festival." Studying under
some of the best sketch and improv comics in Canada, Lloyd completed the Second
City Improvisation class from the world-famous Second City Training Centre in
Toronto. Lloyd has written about comedy and humour for magazines and even a
high school literacy textbook currently in use across Canada. After about 15
years away, Lloyd recently moved back to his hometown of Sussex, but still has
never tried cow tipping.
