We’re hopeful that this incident is the start of a shift within the comedy community towards access and inclusion.
Our hearts are full appreciation right now and we can’t wait to celebrate together at the awards reception!
@GeneralyHospital has been nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award but refuses to attend awards ceremony in an inaccessible venue. Kudos to them. The venue should be changed. Shame on all who attend if it isn't. This is the solidarity it takes to make change. Looking at you #CanLit
We are so proud of our show and our cast. We were very excited to receive our nomination for Best Live Ensemble at the Canadian Comedy Awards. Unfortunately, we will not be attending the awards reception due to the inaccessibility of the venue. Please see our statement below.
