The Beaverton Weekly Report
Every week Beaverton editor-in-chief Luke Gordon Field assembles an all-star Panel of comedians to talk, mock and riff their way through the news of the week. Then he puts their knowledge of the news to the test in a very important quiz where the stakes couldn't be lower. The Beaverton Weekly Report is a hilarious look at what's going on in the world around us. It's just like watching CNN, only funnier and with fewer erectile dysfunction ads.

Welcome (back) to The Beaverton Weekly Report, a satirical panel show where Beaverton editor-in-chief Luke Gordon Field assembes Canada's funniest comedians to riff on the news of the week. From the silly to the serious, the tragic to the tumultuous, we'll be there to make fun of it all. But don't worry. We don't want to be too much of a bummer, so we promise to talk about New Brunswick as little as possible.
