Helen Schneiderman
Helen Schneiderman got into stand-up comedy a few years ago as a way to get off her couch. Now she’s so busy performing, her couch misses her. Helen’s comedy draws from her varied life experiences and trips around the globe. She’s not afraid to share — the good, the bad and the ugly — and audiences love her sincere and relatable style. Helen has performed all across the lower mainland and Vancouver Island. She was runner-up in the 2019 BC Funniest New Female Comic contest, and was the opening comic for the 2020 “I Am Woman Hear Me Laff” tour and 2022 Chutzpah Festival. Helen’s favourite review: “I really liked the pretty one with the weird accent.”

She calls Kamloops her home, living comfortably (and legally) in her friend’s basement with a former street dog that’s way prettier than her.

Bealby Point Live at The Effie Arts Collective!

Kamloops!! We are finally making our return after last years flat tire debacle….We are very excited to see you all soon!

Bealby Point Live at The Effie Arts Collective!
TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/bealby-point-live-at-the-effie-arts-collective-tickets-1233888968119
We are so excited to finally be returning to Kamloops!! Last time out we had an unfortunate flat tire which forced us to miss our Kamloops show… But we are SO back and out for redemption! We cant wait to see you all very soon!!

In a world full of micro-influencers, digital grifters, and spon-con hucksters, Vancouver quartet Bealby Point offers a simple promise: what you see is what you get. Formed in 2018, the indie rockers have built a sterling reputation thanks to their polished live performances and intricate, approachable songwriting. Drawing inspiration from alt-rock icons including The Strokes, Weezer, Young The Giant, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the boys’ signature sound centers on big hooks, big solos, and even bigger grooves. While the path forward has been at times rocky, with the four members struggling to navigate the realities of working-class creative life in one of the world’s most expensive cities, the challenges have only brought them closer together. Brotherly love is the basis for everything Bealby Point does, and their recent sessions are no exception. Produced by their trusted sound engineer JJ Heath, the band’s new material was recorded at the small but stylish studio, Phony Records. Situated across the inlet from where they grew up riding bikes and sneaking beers, the new material, recorded in early 2024, bridges the gap between fantasy and nostalgia, with Armstrong offering a cinematic perspective on the passing of time. Indeed, songs like “Fairytale” and “Better Off Eventually” find Bealby Point basking in a summer sunset, but also increasingly aware of the long shadow that it casts. Since 2022, the band has built a devoted following in the Greater Vancouver Area, playing sold-out shows at several well-known venues including The Fox Cabaret (April 2022, March 2023), Fortune Sound Club (August 2022), The Rickshaw Theatre (April 2023), and The Pearl (September 2023). They have also taken their show on the road in 2024, playing 9 shows on their self booked and promoted Western Canadian “What’s the Point” Tour including a showcase at NXNE in Toronto, and have opened for exciting acts including, The Jins, and MONOWHALES. As of July 2024, they have amassed 1,207,422 streams on Spotify. With their foundation firmly entrenched in their home province, the band will embark on the next chapter of its career by touring Western Canada for the second time in March 2025. Along the way, they will visit their namesake, just north of Nelson, B.C., to draw inspiration for future material. With a renewed sense of purpose, Bealby Point wants nothing more than to sit back and enjoy the ride. To chase down a dream on that not-so-distant horizon. They hope you will join them

Minors allowed accompanied by an adult until 10pm
