The New Westminster show line up is in!!

As the days count down to our 2006 multi-city Kidney Komedy Tour we are putting the final touches on everything.
We have the list of comics that have donated their time for Kidney Komedy Night and I am proud to share the stage with the line up we have this year!!
The kick off show will be Sept 7 at Lafflines in New Wesminster BC (basically an extension of Vancouver as it is all one big sprawl there as far as I am concerned).
Lafflines web site We hope too sell a second show on Sept 8 as well.

One of the comics that was on the original KKN in 1997 has just confirmed he is available. He is none other than Irwin Barker. Irwin is touted by many comics as the best comedy writer in Canada. His show is such an intellectual treat of hilarity and I look forward to sharing the stage with him again. He started out in the city of Winnipeg which is where Kerry Talmage and myself first cut our comedy teeth.

Also on the bill is Peter Kelamis whose character voices in his show always crack me up. Let's hope he rings the walls with his "GAARRRYyyyyYYY". If you've seen him you know what I am talking about.
Rob Pue is on the show. I last saw him at the Rocky Mountain Comedy Fest where he tore it up! You may have seen him on TV's "Punk'd"
Clark Robertson is also joining us. A multi-talented performer who has a full stage show as well as a great Don Cherry Impersonation. We are hoping he will don the Don and take on MC duties as Canada's favorite loud mouth sports guru.
Finishing off the line up is Toby Hargrave. This guy is almost a comic genius!! He placed second in the "Comic Genius" on TVs 'Corner Gas'. A funny man and a good friend.

I do hope all comics get a few corporate bookings and other spin-off gigs from donating their time.
This is a don't miss type of show with all headliners!!
So tell your friends in the lower mainland area to get their tickets early as it will sell out. This is the best comedy show to hit the Vancouver area in some time and it is all for charity and to promote stand-up comedy in general!!

Cheers
Daryl Makk
