First it was Great Big Sea, now most of the members of Newfoundland’s iconic sketch comedy group, CODCO are reuniting on stage.
But producer Cathy Jones has found herself answering questions about the timing and intent of the show.
The Holy Heart website had billed the event as a “show in support of Greg Malone’s bid for the Green Party seat.” An updated release issued yesterday indicated that there was an error on the Holy Heart website, and that it has since been removed.
The new release clarifies that the event is not a Green Party-affiliated event.
Cathy Jones tells VOCM News it was her intent to organize the show as a fundraiser for Malone, but after speaking with Elections Canada and the Green Party, it became immediately clear that there is no way they could have a fundraiser and give a percentage to the candidate.
She says they’re going to go ahead with the show and “let the chips fall where they may”. She indicates that Malone and Andy Jones receive no residuals from their days in CODCO and are struggling like all artists.
The show is scheduled for this Sunday, September 22nd at 7:30 p.m..
