It’s a story of single motherhood, resilience, and unmedicated survival — told with Shirley Whalen's signature wit and twisted optimism.
Call a friend- Shirley Whalen is in town! A Sirius XM Top Comic Semi-Finalist and festival favourite, Shirley has made her mark on comedy stages across Canada. Now, she makes her magical home in Gulf Island, where she runs an award-winning vintage shop/comedy venue.
She's got a whole new headlining set to share, and we're recording it as a comedy album with some hot local acts to get you all warmed up.
Hop on the Queen car and have some laughs- while enjoying cold cocktails and warm welcomes at the very swanky Cassette.
Our shows start promptly at 7:30 and 9:00pm. Please arrive early to order food and enjoy the atmosphere!
Cassette is wheelchair accessible. There is a ramp at the front entrance connected to the restaurant entrance. There is also an accessible washroom on the main level in the hotel lobby.
