Secondhand Dreamcar in Concert

Secondhand Dreamcar, an explosive soul/roots/blues band from Edmonton, is a true superband – a consummate constellation of Canadian music veterans who have worked on some of the finest jazz, funk, folk, soul, and blues projects ever created in Alberta – and they are bringing their live show to Red Deer. Collectively, they craft a distinct, funky, and lyrically-driven sound that journalist and programmer Peter North called the most exciting thing to come out of the city since k.d. lang and the Reclines.

A CKUA Radio favourite, Secondhand Dreamcar’s debut album Answer The Call was its 6th most played album of 2024, and in 2025 the band became instant Alberta festival favourites, tearing up the stages at Edmonton’s and Calgary’s International Blues Festivals, and the Edmonton Folk Festival, among others. The Dreamcar has started off 2026 right, receiving three Canadian Blues Music Awards nominations and a JUNO nomination for Blues Album of the Year. Their second album will be released in the fall. Don't miss the chance to see them live.

Maternal Wellbeing Stroll

Join Us for the Maternal Mental Health Stroll
Red Deer’s Maternal Mental Health Stroll began in 2021 as Flora’s Walk. Today, we continue this important movement in solidarity with communities across Canada throughout the month of May. Together, we walk to raise funds for vital perinatal mental health services, and to honor the memory of Flora, a Canadian mother whose life was tragically lost to undetected and untreated postpartum psychosis.
Our community stroll shines a light on the urgent need for improved perinatal mental health care. We believe that maternal mental health is the foundation of a thriving community, and we are committed to breaking down stigma, opening conversations, and ensuring every mother has access to the care and support she deserves.
Funds raised will stay local, supporting community programs, services, and research that directly impact the wellbeing of families right here at home.
Join us. Walk with us. Donate with us.
Together, we can create real, lasting change for mothers, families, and our entire community.
Let’s make a difference one step at a time.

We’ll warm up with simple exercises rooted in the foundations of improv: listening, agreement ("Yes, and!"), character creation, and collaborative storytelling. From there, we’ll open up the floor to try out scenes, games, and maybe even a few wild experiments. No scripts. No pressure. Just laughter, learning, and letting go.

Joining Bryan Adams is special guest Lights, bringing her genre-blending pop sound and electric stage presence to open the night.

This will be one of the biggest shows of the year at the Marchant Crane Centrium. Don’t miss your chance to be there.

THE COMIC STRIPPERS (18+ only)

A male stripper parody & improv comedy show

 

The award winning improv comedians are back with a new show, more moves and even quicker wits.

A SHOW FOR ALL GENDERS… 18+ ONLY

WARNING! No extreme nudity, just extreme hilarity.

 

A fictitious male stripper troupe (played by a cast of some of Canada’s best improvisational comedians) performs a sexylarious improv comedy show. They try to be sexy… it just comes out funny. Constantly grooving and gyrating in between scenes they banter with the crowd and perform their hilarious twist on improv sketches. They sing, they “dance”, and they are ready to make you laugh. Semi undressed and completely unscripted, The Comic Strippers take off their shirts and take on your suggestions to create a whole new genre of comedy.

★★★★★ “Extremely Funny!” - UK Fringe Review
