One part comedian and one part chanteuse, the inimitable SharRon Matthews serves up her own unique brand of uproarious entertainment earning raves from audiences and critics alike. Sharron's hometown newspaper said, "SharRon Matthews is like a champagne cocktail - only one with extra fizz!" (Hamilton Spectator) and the Kitchener-Waterloo Record raved, "Matthews has a world-class singing voice - honed in such lavish Toronto productions as Beauty and the Beast and The Wizard of Oz and the North American tour of Les Misérables.

The SharRon Matthews World Domination Tour kicked off with two performances at Toronto's Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. SharRon Matthews makes her New York cabaret debut at the celebrated nightspot Joe's Pub for two shows on Saturday, June 5 at 7pm and Sunday, June 6 at 9:30pm.
