Few are those who can get a packed room to shout “data” in response to “meta” or “ledge” in response to “know” with excited glee. DeAnne Smith, co-founder of Comedy OFF the Main, is one of those few… And if you discount her loyal fans doing their best to relive her sets over and over [...]

If you’re going to photowalk with 4 of the funniest people in Montreal, please take note:
Bring a tripod. Gut-wobbling guffaws lead to blurry photos.
Bring earplugs. While you’re photographing one of ‘em, the rest will be behind you, airing their sometimes rude, often hilarious & always insightful observations about the subject [...]
I spent some time updating the calendar on the Indyish network page today, so I figured I’d send out a: “Heads up and head on over!” Take a look at the Montreal live shows and events listed there and let us know what you think.
Here’s the widget preview.
(and hurrah for the word widget!):
Been craft fair-ing all day? Want my advice? It’s cold out there! Cozy into Dave Cool’s venue tonight if you want bodyheat and great singer songwriters as it’s launching up with much gladness and neighborhood vibes and some true happiness for Cool, plus some good media! See: Gazette, Natasha Hall.
Tonight’s performers Paul Cargnello [...]
That’s right, folks, I was lucky smart enough to get myself a ticket for the Just for Laughs Homegrown Comic Competition, held 18 July at 7pm. Smirky-giggly though I was, I did feel sorry for those who missed out on this fantastic showcase of Canadian hilarity, like David Schultz who blogged pre-event.
Any objective attendee will [...]
I saw “Tune In” last night at Club Soda and was amazed. It’s a great music-slash-comedy event in a great club.
Unfortunately, as with any experiment, the turn out to the show was light. Now, these guys deserve a full event with hundreds of listeners (witnessing Kid Koala’s hands fly via a roof mounted camera alone [...]
Blogging LIVE from Cagibi (the cafĂ© formerly known as Esperanza) in Montreal’s Mile End.
So, Toronto Fringe. The best show I saw by far during my fast-paced, hops-laden, non-intentionally comedy-heavy Fringe weekend, was Chris Gibbs‘ “Gibberish.” Having been employed with the Toronto Fringe last summer as the volunteer coordinator, I had worked [...]
I realized just a moment ago as I sat down to blog that my topic of choice here is rather appropriate, as it was only one year ago that I started getting into comedy! I can already hear the shocked outbursts from all who know me well, but it’s true — before the summer [...]
The Montreal Film Group presents “Bring Your Own Shorts!”
An evening of the MFG’s best comedy short films
Wanna party? Wanna network? Wanna show your best short comedy!?
On Tuesday, April 10th, the MFG will be presenting the second edition
of “Bring Your Own Shorts!” We did this once in 2005 when we only had
about 30 members. The night [...]
Seems I was not the only one that was lured in to the Comedy Nest by the mention of a free comedy show. I was foolish enough to not make reservations and was practically sent home when my name was not on the list, but with a smile and a curtsy, I scored two seats [...]
