If you have an event to add, send it in for a FREE listing miss604.com/contact I also do paid packages if you want more exposure

So, so saddened to hear about the passing of the truly great, truly gifted and truly hilarious Catherine O’Hara. She was, at least by my count, about seventeen different kinds of brilliant. Wow - what a loss. And wow - how wonderful that we had her. R.I.P.

Devastated by the loss of Catherine O'Hara. Was lucky enough, not only to work with her on Whose Line and on stage, but to chat with her at a few gatherings. Sweet, kind, humble and a genius, this is a hard one. Love to her family and all who loved her.

What a loss. 💔😭 A great Canadian.

A true master of comedy. ❤️
