Neil Griffin has wanted to put on a LGBTQ-themed comedy show for a while now. A Brampton comedian who runs the Crack Me Up Comedy series of shows, he has had a number of LGBTQ comics perform in his shows, but never a full lineup of them.

Recently, Maguire's Pub in Brampton inquired about hosting that type of show as the bar is popular among Brampton's LGBTQ community.

“It’s more of a ‘safe space’ where people can go and have a good time and not feel like they’re going to be ridiculed or made fun of,” Griffin said.

Crack Me Up Comedy is now set to present its first LGBTQ comedy show in Brampton at Maguire's on Sunday, July 15.
