Southern Interior, a Nelson sketch comedy series, will be screened Jan. 10 at The Capitol Theatre.

Join us on Jan.10 at Nelson’s Capitol Theatre for a sneak peek at the much-anticipated six-episode home-grown sketch comedy series Southern Interior filmed in Nelson.

Southern Interior recognizes and plays with the universal appeal of Nelson – a desirable small city nestled in the picturesque mountains of B.C.’s interior. A traditional mining town in Indigenous territory where outsiders of all stripes have been finding refuge in its colourful heritage homes for decades, it’s the ideal location for a collection of contemporary character sketches, all showcasing the personality and individuality of its eclectic residents.

The series was created and directed by Amy Bohigian, produced by Gregory Mackenzie, stars local talents Lucas Myers, Michelle Hart, Lynne Karey-McKenna, Jonathan Ramos, and features a 100 per cent local cast and crew.

“I’ve lived in Nelson for almost 20 years, and this city and its residents continue to amuse, amaze and humble me every day,” says Bohigian. “People who live outside of Nelson can’t quite figure us out, and I wanted to use humour to capture our contradictions and poke fun at how earnestly we’re all trying to become better versions of ourselves."

Southern Interior will be released to the wider public, making its world-wide debut on a streaming service in 2025. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for news about the release: @southerninteriorseries.

“It’s been exciting to work on a project that really showcases the character of Nelson, and the characters of Nelson,” says Mackenzie. “People here genuinely mean well and care for each other, and it’s the heart of Nelson that really stands out in Southern Interior.”

Shows at the Capitol are at 6:30 and 9 p.m. and tickets are $15.
