What is IndigE-girl Comedy
IndigE-girl Comedy is a network of Indigenous female comedians across Canada and provides development opportunities for Indigenous women in comedy. In 2021, IndigE-girl Comedy started as a response to a lack of representation of Indigenous women in the comedy circuit. Since then, IndigE-girl has hosted four sold out shows in Vancouver, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and Toronto, and has lead to more Indigenous women producing comedy shows. Each show offers an digital workshop for comedians to work together.
Upcoming shows in 2023 will be in Whitehorse, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
Registration for workshops in Whitehorse is now open.
