The Bonnyville and District SPCA is hosting a Stand Up for Strays Comedy Night on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at the Bonnyville Seniors Drop-In Centre. The event features Saskatchewan comedian Kelly Taylor, with proceeds going toward the shelter’s animal welfare work.
Tickets are $75 per person or $600 for a table of eight. They are available at The Shelter, Tellier Guardian Pharmacy, and Culligan Bonnyville.
Taylor has performed at Just for Laughs in Montreal, appears on CBC’s The Debaters, and has his own one-hour comedy special on the Comedy Network.
The Bonnyville and District SPCA has cared for over 4,000 animals since opening in 2000. The shelter operates at an average cost of roughly $26,000 per month, covering food, utilities, cleaning supplies, veterinary bills, and staff wages.
The shelter often runs at or near capacity, especially during winter months when stray animals face freezing temperatures. This new fundraiser follows the success of a previous comedy event called Raise the Woof in 2022, which generated thousands of dollars for daily operations.
