SilverStar Mountain Resort is set to host an evening of stand-up comedy on February 21, 2026, headlined by Herb Dixon, the comedian known as “The Harley Guy.” The event, hosted by Train Wreck Comedy, promises a night of laughter at the National Altitude Training Centre, bringing a unique blend of sound impressionism and relatable humor to the Okanagan region. This Herb Dixon performance is expected to draw comedy fans from across British Columbia and beyond.
Dixon’s claim to fame is his remarkably accurate Harley-Davidson motorcycle impression, a talent so convincing it was officially recognized by Harley-Davidson themselves during their 100th-anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, where he even shared the stage with blues legend B.B. King. His ability to mimic the iconic engine sounds has captivated audiences for years, leading to performances at major events like the Calgary Stampede Grandstand – twice – and opening slots for musical acts including The Doobie Brothers, The Beach Boys, Blake Shelton, LeAnn Rimes and Kenny Chesney at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, according to Train Wreck Comedy’s event page.
A Veteran of the Comedy Circuit
Although widely recognized for his Harley impression, Dixon is a seasoned comedian with a broad repertoire. He’s known for his crowd function and ability to connect with audiences, delivering a show described as “loud, hilarious, and completely unforgettable.” The SilverStar performance offers a chance to experience the full range of his comedic skills, extending far beyond a single, albeit impressive, impression.
Supporting Dixon will be Rob Balsdon, the founder of Train Wreck Comedy. Balsdon, a veteran stand-up comedian with over 20 years of experience, is a familiar face in the Okanagan comedy scene. He’s shared the stage with prominent Canadian comedians such as Gerry Dee, Brent Butt, and Norm MacDonald, as well as contemporary performers like Jon Dore and John Wing, an America’s Got Talent semi-finalist. Balsdon’s comedy focuses on everyday life, offering relatable observations and a quick wit, as noted in the Vernon Morning Star.
