Turning Tide Cottages

What an absolute pleasure to share the stage with two of my faves Matt Keenan and Jason Gary on beautiful Grand Manan Island. Loved the island, adored the people. Oh and Turning Tide Cottages is paradise. The perfect weekend. Thank you to everyone who kindly came out. Such an honour when 10% of the entire population come out to laugh with us!
