Hello Indyish nation

I would like to cordially invite you all to a special night of musical comedy that I am putting on featuring a good friend of mine from New York, Ben Lerman. He is a uniquely hilarious ukulele troubadour and his uproarious performance is a must-see summer event. I’m extremely excited that […]

Chris “Hilarious” Gibbs is a mainstay at Fringe Festivals across Canada for good reason. His new show, The Further Adventures of Antoine Feval, allows him the opportunity to portray the type of character he works best with: the ignorant idiot. The show is a sequel to the more simply titled Antoine Feval, but this should […]

BONDAGE
reviewed by El Gato!
Whoa. I love comedy. And clown, and stuff like that. And I went into this show thinking a bunch of things. First, it had gotten a ton of great press. Second, a bunch of people I’ve talked to did not enjoy it as much as the reviewers. Third, I was scared. […]

An actor once told me that if a play started well but ended poorly, the audience would say “It wasn’t that good after all”; on the other hand, if it had a rough start but ended well, the audience would say “It wasn’t so bad after all!” So, in that spirit, I will do my […]

Y’know what? Those ancient scientists may have been right with that whole “spontaneous generation” thing. Take this here comedy extravaganza, Christophe & His Superfriends, as an example.

I attended the Best of Montreal Night for the third annual Sketch Comedy Festival at Theatre Ste. Catherine. To sum up the whole night I can say I was pleasantly and vaguely entertained the whole evening. Nothing was fall down funny….or laugh out loud funny but I had a nice warm feeling of amusement for […]

Did you know that stand-up comics have friends, even though “friends” is often a great joke topic?
Did you know that Montreal’s Christophe Davidson has superfriends? If you weren’t aware of the super-ness of some of Christophe’s friends, well, get aware!
From a far away galaxy comes ‘Christophe & His Superfriends’. For years they have forged their […]

I had a dream a few months ago where I was hanging out with the the Kids in the Hall, we were in a small theater space, coming up with sketch material and having the greatest time laughing at each other’s zany ideas. In particular I recall a skit about a cross-country skiing police officer […]

Since I’ve posted a few different tidbits about music and comedy I’ve had new ones brought to my attention, and the best of these so far is Jon Lajoie’s Everyday Normal Guy. The song is good, and funny, but also, as with the best comedy: vulnerable, relate-able, totally familiar. It helps that the video is […]
