It was in Bobcaygeon

This past weekend, I had a show up in Bobcaygeon, which was a fundraiser for the Sturgeon Falls Thunder hockey team. I was hosting the show with the hilarious Nile Seguin headlining with Tyler Morrison doing the middle spot. We tried unsuccessfully to get Bobcaygeon fan favourite Angry Andrew Evans to do a spot, but he wasn't up for it. That's fine though, we didn't need him anyway. The crowd was fun. Hell, anytime you can get 150 drunken hockey parents in a lounge at the local arena, you know you're in for a treat! Sadly, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, I wasn't propositioned for a 3-some.

The only downside of the night was the drive home. During the show a snowstorm had rolled through and made driving a bit of a challenge. I hate to sound like a pussy, whining about driving in Canada in the winter, but let's face it, I am a pussy about driving in winter in Canada. I'm not sure what the worst part of the drive was, the country roads that hadn't seen a plow yet or the 401 where it was a free for all with the lane choices. I think we must have seen about half a dozen cars that had driven into the median. But, we made it home okay and nobody got hurt. I did end up missing last call though, so I really wasn't too happy about that.

I also did a fun little show last night at a place called the Charlotte Room. It is a monthly show organized by Robin Crossman and Chris MacLean. It runs on the last Monday of the month. It was a very solid lineup with funny comics like Andrew Evans, Todd Van Allen, and Brendan McKeigan. It was fun. Drinks were too expensive, but the show was good. Fortunately, I was still a little "tender" from Sunday when I ended up going out for a "couple of beers" to send Dave Tsonos off, who has decided to leave the beach and become homeless in his quest for comedy fame. I'm likely buying a new TV in the next few days, so I'll be sure to keep the box for him so he'll have someplace to play when he gets back from his western tour. I should have known it was going to be a troublesome night when I uttered those words, "I don't think it'll be a late night." WRONG. Oh well, what can you do?

This coming weekend I'm doing a couple of shows. I'm hosting Balmy Comedy at the Fill Station in the beaches. It's a mix of standup and sketch. Show starts at 8, so you know "it won't be a late night" (wink, wink). Saturday, I'm doing Club 54. Still not sure if I'm headlining or middling, but I'm doing a spot anyway. Should be fun.
