It's true gang, I'm going to Toronto April 11th 2008 to compete in the 2008 Yuk Yuk's Great Canadian Laugh Off. It's a huge deal too. This is the same competition that launched the careers of comedians like Jim Carrey, Norm MacDonald, Harland Williams, Howie Mandel and Jeremy Hotz to name a few. I'm really hoping that some of them will show up. Just getting to meet them would be worth it.
But I'm going to hang it all out as they say and try my best. They just announced the contestants. You'll find my name on the Friday night late show roster.

If any of you might be living around Buffalo or Toronto come on out and meet me. I'm really excited about this folks, so stay tuned. I'll be posting a video of me competing when I get home.
Here's a link if you'd like to check out Yuk Yuk's web site.

Congrats and Best of Luck.
Wish I could be there. I hear that Toronto is a beautiful city.
It's this kind of support that goes a long way toward a person believing in them selves. Thank you so much and I'll be posting articles here at Gather as long as they'll have me.
Glad to hear this. I want to thank you for your depth. I appreciate you (and The Chive, Peter Wimsey, Doyle, the Anti-Christ, and I others that I will hate myself for leaving out because it's late and I'm rushed) for being able to be a funny at times - but also able to write about and discuss important topics. You guys keep me coming back to Gather.
(You have an edge here with me...my grandson's name is Devin and he's a keeper!)
