The Trailer Park Boys and Tony Hinchcliffe of Kill Tony have been added to Vancouver's 2025 Great Outdoors Comedy Festival.

Tony Hinchcliffe of Kill Tony and Canadian comedy legends the Trailer Park Boys are both doing sets at Vancouver's Great Outdoors Comedy Festival.

The two acts are coming to the festival based in Stanley Park on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025. The Trailer Park Boys have an afternoon show (including music by Bubbles and his band) while Hinchcliffe headlines in the evening.

Known as a roast comedian, Hinchcliffe is best known for his long-running podcast Kill Tony, which features short comedy sets by aspiring comedians. 

During the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign, Hinchcliffe was criticized for comments he made during a rally for Donald Trump in New York's Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27, 2024.

In his controversial speech at Trump's rally, he called Puerto Rico "a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean." He also made jokes about the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict and called San Francisco "demented."

Hinchcliffe has four stand-up comedians (dubbed the Killers of Kill Tony) opening for him, including Kam Patterson and Ari Matti.

Opening for the Trailer Park Boys is Entourage ​​​​​​star Jeremy Piven. While it's unclear who is currently part of Bubbles' band, in the past members have included Alex Lifeson of Rush and Tom Wilson of Blackie and The Rodeo Kings. Mike Smith, who plays Bubbles, was actually part of a band with a Canadian rock hit in the 1990s.

The two Sunday shows fill out the three-day festival at Stanley Park taking place from Sept. 12 to 14. Previously announced were shows headlined by John Mulaney (with Nick Kroll, Mike Birbiglia, and Fred Armisen supporting) and Bert Kreischer (with Whitney Cummings and Derrick Stroup opening).
