That's a Wrap!

Well it came... and it went. I can hardly believe our 4 shows in Montreal are already over. And what a weekend of shows it was! Thursday's was virtually sold out, and the shows on Friday and Saturday nights were big hits too. We got people from as far as Ottawa, as well as from all over Montreal of course, including folks who had heard about the show in the Mirror or the Hour, on Virgin Radio 96 (thanks for the shout-out on the radio and on your blog, Sir Patrick!), or on Christine Long's entertainment segment on CTV Montreal. (And I'll tell you what's "on"--Christine Long's HOTNESS!)


Stay tuned for more shows in Montreal, as well in other cities across Canada and the U.S., to be announced shortly!

Last Chance to Catch the Show in Montreal!

Tonight (Saturday, August 22) is your last chance to catch The Manhattan Comedy Project in Montreal! We have 2 shows tonight: an early show at 8:00 pm and a late show at 10:30 pm. It's going to be wild. And Christine Long at CTV Montreal gave us an awesome shout-out yesterday on their local television newscast.

Hope to see you tonight!

Wendy Ho is AMAZING!

Come See her Tonight, Friday and Saturday!

Clix to get tix!

After a Quick French Lesson

I was looking into some French Phrases before our trip to Montreal. I just learned that "comedien" means actor and "comedienne" is actress.

Why do the french lump comedians and actors together? Would anyone out there want to see Tom Cruise telling jokes? Hell no! Or how about Tara Reid knockin' em dead in front of a brick wall with "Just so you know, Hep C ain't Kool Aid!" How about Shannon Dougherty doing her hot schtick, "So, I was the bitch on 90210 but let's be honest, James Eckhouse was the real bitch! We walked all over him. Am I right? Am I right?"

Actors spend hours learning someone's words and can blame the director, set designer, playwright and any number of things on a bad show. Comedians are alone with their own thoughts on stage and they know if they're not doing well by the deafening silence. Its just the comedian and his jokes. It's their fault. Some say the most brave form of performance besides netless tight rope walking and wrapless tight butt fucking.

Comedians spend years trying to figure out this craft. Most don't have a great 10 minutes until 5 years into their craft and some say aren't truly great until they've been doing it 10 years. I think it's fair to say that most comedians can act, but most actors can't comedien.

Me and the "Children"

This is a picture of me (on the far right, in my costume as Pokey) after the last performance of A.R. Gurney's Children at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. (Meanwhile, Judith Light, center right, is TOTES rockin' the Betty-Ford-circa-1972 look. Fierce!)
