The Trail & District Arts Council presents the hilarious Hot Flash Comedy Tour, featuring Syd Bosel and Helen Schneiderman, for International Women's Day weekend on Friday, March 7 at 7:30 pm in The Bailey Theatre.
Syd Bosel is a stand-up comedian who spins hilarious and relatable tales of “adult” children, being married for 1,000 years, surviving breast cancer, and other glories of nature. With loads of accolades Syd was voted “Best of the Fest” at the Nanaimo Fringe Festival in 2023 and got “four yesses” in CTV’s Canada’s Got Talent and you’ve probably heard her on CBC’s “Just for Laughs” and “Laugh Out Loud.”
Syd placed 1st, and was voted Fan Favourite, in the 2018 “BC’s Funniest New Female Comic” and was a finalist in the 2019 “Great Canadian Yuk Off”. Then, in 2022, Syd placed 2nd (out of 65 comics) in Vancouver’s “Funniest Person with a Day Job” competition. She is also a regular on the Jest Ladies and “Life is Funny” troupes and Jokers Canada.
Syd has opened for Debra DiGiovanni, Maria Bamford, Simon King and Julie Kim.
Audience reviews of Syd’s shows include “That older lady was really funny” and “My wife laughed so much that she peed her pants”.

Helen Schneiderman opens for Syd sharing the good, the bad and the ugly to get you laughing. Helen got into stand-up comedy a few years ago as a way to get off her couch. Now she’s so busy performing, her couch misses her.
Helen’s comedy draws from her varied life experiences and trips around the globe. She’s not afraid to share and audiences love her sincere and relatable style. Helen has performed all across the lower mainland and Vancouver Island. She was runner-up in the 2019 BC Funniest New Female Comic contest and was the opening comic for the 2020 “I Am Woman Hear Me Laff” tour and 2022 Chutzpah Festival.
Helen's favourite review: "I really liked the pretty one with the weird accent.”
