September Dates (And You’re Invited)

As promised on Saturday’s post I have the details on a couple of public performance dates in September.  Hopefully you can make it to one of the shows…

Middling at The Calgary Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club

I’m REALLY excited about this particular set of shows. This will be my FIRST appearance at the club (I haven’t stepped on stage for even 1 minute yet… no guest spots… nothing) and there have been a lot of people here in Calgary asking when they can see a show of mine.  Well… this is probably your best opportunity.

If you haven’t yet been to the Yuk’s club; you are missing out.  It’s a gorgeous new room that is perfect for comedy and completed with a great staff.  More often than not the audiences are wonderful and ready to watch the best stand-up comedy that Canada has to offer.  (Notice how smoothly I implied that I am among the best in Canada… that will get me a thorough mocking from the other comics…)

Dates: Thursday, September 10 to Saturday, September 12
Showtimes:
8:00PM Nightly (plus a 10:30PM show on Saturday)
Location: Elbow River Casino (218 – 18 Avenue SE)
Tickets: $19 each
Box Office: 403-258-2028
Facebook Event: Click here.
Website: Click here.

I’ll be working with two people that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting (or seeing perform), but I have been asking around the industry about them and the reviews are unanimously positive.

Red Carpet Comedy

All the details about this show are in a blog post from a couple of weeks back… but here’s a quick summary of what will be Calgary first and only professional-comic-only open mic night:

Date: September 16
Location: Club Paradiso (1413 9 Avenue SE)
Doors Open: 6:00PM
Show: 8:00PM
Tickets: $10
Box Office: www.CalgaryTickets.com
Facebook Event: Click here.
Website: www.RedCarpetComedy.com

While this isn’t my refined show I have been working on some new material including one story from my childhood… and I’m not really a “story teller” on stage, but I’m sure as heck going to try that night.

Yuk Yuk’s On Tour in Kelowna

There will be no rest for me… the day after Red Carpet Comedy as I’ll be heading out to Kelowna to open the shows at The Blue Line from September 17 to 19.  I don’t have many details about these shows so if you are interested I would give The Blue Line a call at: (250) 860-7844.

Vacation

The week after Kelowna I’ll be a part of the 2009 PCAM Convention on board the NCL cruise ship Norweigan Pearl.  Internet and phone will be pretty much non-existant for that week (for me that is… I’m sure the rest of the world will be unaffected by my cruising) and I’m looking forward to the break, but not as much as I’m looking forward to all of these shows!
