My last couple of public shows in 2011 are gearing up to be a lot of fun. Next Wednesday night (November 30) is a special presentation of Red Carpet Comedy where comedians (myself included) won’t only be presenting their new material but also raising funds for a worthy cause. Calgary Alternative Support Services (CASS) is a non-profit agency that offers a wide range of community support services to people with various disabilities; one such service is the creation of Christmas hampers (care packages) for their clients and it this program that 100% of this show’s ticket price ($20) will be donated towards.
Tickets for the show are already half sold and moving more and more quickly as the show date approaches. If you’d like to reserve your tickets you can do so through the CASS office by phoning 403-283-0611. More details are also online through the Facebook event page and on the Red Carpet Comedy website.
The following Wednesday night (December 7) I’ll be closing out the KABOOM! show at Yuk Yuk’s Calgary. If you haven’t yet been to a KABOOM!, you’re missing out. Each show contains some of the best stand-up and sketch comedy that this city has to offer. The group behind these shows is truly working hard to create fresh and exhilarating material that you are sure to love. More information is available through their website and Facebook page.
My final public show of 2011 will be on December 22 at a new comedy room in Calgary hosted at Melange Restaurant and Gastro Lounge. While my rehearsal schedule for “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” has kept me away from this room since it opened, I’m very much looking forward to seeing what all the local comedians are talking about. Show starts at 9:00PM and I’ll also be closing out this show. More details are available here.
The remainder of my shows in 2011 are private corporate functions in various places (including Inuvik, Northwest Territories!). As I have for the past several years, I’ll be posting a personal “year in review” up on my blog in a couple of weeks. In the mean time, I have some new material to write and lines to learn.
