Kate Beaton is on a ten-city tour this fall, launching the acclaimed and bestselling Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands with a live performance in a city near you.

Beaton's stage presence brings Ducks to life with singing by the cartoonist, live music, a visual slide show, and a conversation with a local writer. Kate's performance is unlike any other cartoonist launch, and will open your heart wide with her trademark mix of humour and humanity.

This November, Kate Beaton will be in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Calgary, and Winnipeg. Her events have already received rave reviews from fans in Toronto, NYC, Cambridge, and Halifax. Get your tickets now!
