A major celebrity will be one of the attractions when the Cornwall & Area Pop Event (CAPE) returns for its 10th anniversary April 26 and 27, 2025, at the Benson Centre in Cornwall.
One of the celebrity guests will be Brian Posehn. His credits include a recurring role as Bert on “The Big Bang Theory” and appearances on popular shows like “Star Wars: The Mandalorian,” “The Sarah Silverman Program,” “Seinfeld,” “Friends,” and “Californication.” He has also voiced characters in animated series such as “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” “Clerks: The Animated Series,” “American Dad!,” and “The Simpsons.”
Posehn enjoyed his time on “The Big Bang Theory,” stating, “I had a great experience doing The Big Bang Theory. I love that style of comedy…the sitcom format is so classic.” He is also thrilled to be part of the Star Wars universe. “I can’t even believe it…To be a part of the canon as a Star Wars nerd is insane,” Posehn said.
He has also appeared in several films, including “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” “Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects,” and “Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.” He has also showcased his voice-acting skills in animated movies like “Surf’s Up” and “Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie.”
In addition to his work on screen, Posehn is a notable figure in the world of comics, having written for Marvel’s “Deadpool” series. Posehn said, “My favorite stuff with Deadpool is the ones that have less story and straight-up comedy. I love the storytelling, too. The ones where we went joke, joke, joke, joke, joke – those were so fun! I want to do more of that.”
“We’re excited for Brian Posehn to join us at CAPE 2025; fans should be familiar with his work in the movie, television, comic book, and music industries. He’s become a pop culture icon,” said Carol and Randy Sauve.
In addition to meeting Brian Posehn, attendees at CAPE can meet cosplayers and browse a market filled with vendors selling comics, posters, Funko Pops, artwork, and more.
Since its inception in 2015, CAPE has grown to become one of Cornwall’s largest indoor community event, drawing people of all ages.
