NO BUSY-NESS LIKE SHOW BUSY-NESS


Next week will be the most hectic comedy week I’ve had in a while as I bounce from one end of the country to the next in an array of gigs fraught with tele-prompters and Torah-readings.

I’m excited to be recording not one but two episodes of The Debaters, not only for radio but for the new-fangled televised series. Those debates will take place at:

CBC Vancouver, Studio 40
700 Hamilton Street
Vancouver, British Columbia

On Wednesday, March 30th at 1:00pm I will argue against the virtues of Do It Yourself renovations against none other than Andrew Younghusband, host of Discovery’s “Canada’s Worst Handyman”.

Then, on Thursday, March 31st at 6:30pm I argue against the virtues of cloning the DNA of extinct animals (not necessarily on a Do It Yourself basis) against none other than Canadian comic/mad genius Sean Cullen.

Apparently, all the shows are selling out fast, but www.cbc.ca/thedebaters/attend would be the place to check if seats are still available.

On April Fool’s morning I hope to find my flight out of Vancouver is not a hoax as I boot it back to Montreal (as three hours evaporate across the time zones) to rush onto the stage at Jimbo’s Comedyworks (1238 Bishop Street, Montreal, Quebec, 514-398-9661) to headline two Friday night shows at 8:30pm and 11:00pm.

Then, the following Saturday afternoon I perform at my first ever Bar Mitzvah, which is quite a milestone for me, almost as if I was undergoing some rite of passage into a next stage of manhood or something.

Then I plunge back onto the less-than-kosher Comedyworks stage to headline two Saturday night shows, again at 8:30pm and 11:00pm.

And then I go home and reintroduce myself to my family.

Mazel Tov!

NO SHOW TONIGHT, BUT HERE'S SOME TONIGHT SHOW



Here's a clip of my 15 seconds of NBC notoriety, my cameo on the Pass the Mic segment of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.




19 more of these and I've got a shot at the couch!


Also, listen for me on this Saturday's "The Debaters" at 1:00pm EST on CBC Radio One. The topic is Wikileaks so tune in and hear what the government censors allowed to make it to air!
