FINISHED XM "SEASON ONE"

I've written the 20th and final XM "Just for Laughs" show I'm contracted for, and they've all been produced.

It's a clip show of great stand-up hosted by a great stand-up, Joey Elias, and produced by Montreal media maestro Peter Anthony Holder. You can hear it Wednesday nights on XM 153, Laugh Attack satellite radio.

And I just realized I don't know what time.

But that's more information than we've had so far! Enjoy!

SEPTEMBER GIGS INCLUDING EMO PHILLIPS

DOING SOME T-DOT RADIO

I'm going to be doing a little interview for a show called "The First Word" at CIUT 89.5 FM in Toronto. I'll probably be on at 1:30 pm for about 10 minutes being interviewed by Brian Crosby.

It's my first radio interview outside of Montreal, or Kingston, or Appleton, Wisconsin. Should be fun.

DAVID@DAVIDPRYDE.COM

That's the address to get in touch with me. It's been brought to my attention that the link from my "CONTACT" page hasn't been working so well (the link where it says "click here"). Just want to assure folks that I can still receive e-mails if you use the above address. In the meantime I'm investigating the little link mystery.

Deep apologies to anybody that's been frustrated or inconvenienced.

It was truly one of the most stream-of-consciousness sets I'd ever done, leading to some really fun moments, so it did me a world of good. Hope everyone had a good time.

AUGUST HEADLINING, PREAMBLE

It's been a while since I've posted, but here are a few highlights to come as far as performances in the near future.

I'm doing my headlining debut at the Toronto Yuk Yuks in I-forget-which-city from the 16th to the 20th of August. 7 shows, I'm hoping it will be fun. If past experience there is any indication, the line-ups will be impressive (comedian line-ups, I mean, no predictions customer-wise, but hey, it's Toronto). I'll get some headlining momentum in Montreal the Sunday prior at a little room in the Latin Quarter called the Comedy Cafe. These shows are a great chance to synthesize funny bits, old and new, into a punch-line orgy of a set.
