(R) Sommer and her 3 comedian counter-parts along with Big Daddy Tazz

Rural Manitoba will be represented at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival this weekend. Rachel Sommer, a former Rosenfeld resident who now works as an Optometrist in Winnipeg, will be doing stand up comedy in a show called 'Tazzy's Angels". Sommer says she will be performing alongside Big Daddy Tazz and four other female Comedians.

She adds her routine is based on growing up in a small town, being an Optometrist and having an Australian husband. Sommer says she includes small town humour in her routine because she finds it funny, an example is knowing everyone in town including their dog's name.

Sommer says $1 from each ticket will go towards a different charity selected by the audience each night. She adds they are also gathering donations for Winnipeg Harvest , and asks if you plan on attending to bring a canned food item.
