Candy Palmeter is Acadia University's 2nd Annual Aboriginal Arts Mawio'mi's Welkaqnik Peacebuilder. She will give a talk titled "There's something serious about this funny business" at 6pm. Sacred Smudging begins at 4:30, and the Mi'kmaw Opening Ceremonies begin at 5:15.
World are you ready for something different? Candy Palmater is something and someone very different. Aboriginal Comedian, member of Eel River Bar First Nation, is a comedian story teller. Her very unique style of Stand up comedy brings you to tears, has you rolling around in your seat, gives you an achy stomach and, in many cases, makes you spit your drink on the person sitting next to you. That is okay, Candy has learned to live with that.
Most notably Candy can make you laugh and cry in one show, she can captivate the most cynical fan and have them eat out of her hand, and Candy’s demographic is from aged 10 years to 100 years of age. Candy receives emails daily from fans commenting: “after a show they attended, they seem to “be thinking” about the underlying message Candy delivered during Candy’s monologue, and while laughing at the time, fans realize later there was a message”. I had a fan come up to me once and actually said , “ I did not want to like her, but now I love her, when can I see her perform again?!”
All of Candy’s material is written and delivered 100% by Candy. She does not have multiple writers, or co-writers, (this is rare in Professional stand up comedy), and this gives Candy that unique style.
Improv or “off the cuff” as many call it, is a special gift Candy exudes. It ignites within her when she performs, which gives the show a more powerful punch. This is when Candy throws her “one-two” punch, after she has delivered the most incredible “punch line” to the opponent (the audience). Incredible!
