This weekend in Regina promises an exciting lineup of entertainment options, headlined by a major comedy performance from an international star. From November 21 to 23, residents and visitors can enjoy a diverse mix of comedy, music, and shopping.
Comedy Royalty Takes the Stage
Russell Peters brings his highly anticipated Relax* World Tour to the Conexus Arts Centre on Saturday night. This marks the celebrated comedian's first return to Regina since his 2022 performance at the Brandt Centre. Peters, who is celebrating an impressive 36 years in stand-up comedy, is a Canadian icon and global sensation.
His accolades are numerous. Peters was the first comedian to sell out Toronto's Air Canada Centre (now Scotiabank Arena) in 2007 and was named one of the 50 best comics of all time by Rolling Stone. He has also starred in multiple films and TV shows, won a Gemini Award for hosting the 2008 Junos, and made history as the first comedian to land a Netflix special with Notorious in 2013.

For music lovers, the legendary Canadian rock band Sloan is performing at the Casino Regina Show Lounge on Friday night. Formed in Halifax nearly 35 years ago, the band is known for its melodic style and shared songwriting.

On Saturday, the same venue hosts Absolute Britney, featuring Lucy Rose, who is acclaimed as the definitive Britney Spears impersonator, offering a fun pop music experience.
