I booked Stand-Up Showdown again!
Hey - you're back! Hooray!
Hooray! This coming Tuesday (23rd June) I will be competing in my second Stand-Up Showdown. I came second the last time I was asked to be in the show.
It’s at 8 o’clock at the Comedy Bar which is on Bloor at Ossington. 8 comics compete. There are 3 topics – all the competitors do a 2 minute set on the first topic (self-help books). Then 4 go through to the second round to do 3 minutes on the next topic (tribute bands). Only 2 survive to the final – 4 minutes on the last topic (camping). It has to be all new material. The judge, Mark Forward, is harsh but fair. The host, Craig Brown, is affable and hilarious.
I hope you can join me – I had a blast at the last one and always enjoy attending. Plus it forces me to write 9 minutes of new material in a week. Hurrah!
Don’t forget you can always check on where I’ll be playing next on the upcoming appearances page of this website.
Update – I got through to the second round (along with Martha O’Neill, Nile Seguin and Samuel Yen) and Mark Forward hated our Tribute Band material so much he brought Bob Banks and Greg Cochrane back from the first round to go through to the final. Greg did a fantastic song for his Camping set and stole the show! Hilarious.
