A Magician Shouldn’t Be This Bad With Secrets
When I announced the opening night of Red Carpet Comedy I wanted people to say: “Wow! What a surprise! I’ll put that in my calendar.” Unfortunately I’ve been letting the date slip for the past several weeks to various performers and audience members. So, this is the official announcement that I am sure will make people say: “Oh yeah! I remember him saying something about that last week.” (Maybe next time I can keep a tighter lid on it.)
Opening night of Red Carpet Comedy is Wednesday, September 16, 2009! For those of you that don’t know: this is an open-mic show that is for professional comedians only. That means that while these performers will be trying out new material to perhaps start to include in their shows they have the stage presence and wherewithal to still guarantee a good show (even if their new jokes aren’t that funny). I can easily say that it will be a unique night with highs and lows. (If you’d like to know more about the show, click here.)
Tickets for the evening are only $10 and available online through KarmaTix: http://www.calgarytickets.com/comedy/red-carpet-comedy/. Seating is very limited (about 60 chairs), so I would recommend advance tickets, but there may still be some at the door.
The night’s frivolities (I got this word from the character Mathis in “Casino Royale”) will start with the doors opening at 6:00pm for drinks and dinner. Show time will be 8:00pm and will likely wrap up at about 9:30pm – depending on how many comedians end up on the show.
If you are a professional comedian looking for a spot on the show, please RSVP using this web form. Even if you are an amateur comedian we may have a job for you… we’ll need some help with the door, etc, so feel free to contact me.
There’s a Facebook event created for this as well if you have any desire to share it with your friends. (And I hope that you will!)
I’ll be hosting the evening and am already getting excited about it. I know we’re still a month away from the show, but it’s never to early to get excited… or to buy your tickets (hint).

And speaking of hosting a show… I’m taking over from James Moore the responsibility of hosting Comedy Monday Night this coming Monday, August 24. It’s a big job but I know I’m going to have a ton of fun. That show starts at 8:00pm at Broken City (downtown Calgary).
