Comedian Brent Butt, the creator and star of the iconic Canadian sitcom Corner Gas, will bring his stand-up act to Sidney, British Columbia this fall. The show is set for Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Mary Winspear Centre‘s Charlie White Theatre, with doors opening at 7:00 p.m. and the performance starting at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for the event go on sale today, May 29, at 10:00 a.m. at $60 each. The Charlie White Theatre is an intimate 310-seat venue known for its plush velvet chairs, unobstructed sightlines, and four wheelchair-accessible spaces in the front row.
Butt is one of Canada’s most beloved comedians, best known for creating and headlining Corner Gas, which aired from 2004 to 2009 and became the country’s most-watched sitcom. Its final episode set a record for a Canadian scripted series that still stands. Butt has also found success as an author; his debut novel Huge, a psychological thriller released in 2023, became a number one fiction bestseller in Canada.
Born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, in 1966, Butt started his stand-up career in 1988 and quickly rose through the comedy ranks, headlining major clubs in Toronto before touring internationally. While his television and literary work has expanded his audience, stand-up remains at the core of his career, and his current tour includes stops across the country.
The Mary Winspear Centre, a non-profit community hub that opened in 2001, has long been a key arts venue for the Saanich Peninsula. Hosting a performer of Butt’s stature continues its tradition of bringing major Canadian talent to Sidney.
