More on Kidney Komedy Night
I love this old gal we have on the posters and web site. What a great character face!! She cracks me up!

I am happy to be part of this and proud to work with such a great group of volunteers. I am heading off to New Westminster early in the morning. Yes, early, real early, as in so early i should have a fishing rod or hunting rifle in my hands early. Mornings......the Kryptonite of comics!!

We just did the dry run for table set up & light and sound set up for the Calgary room, which is the final stop on the tour. The room at Jimmy's looks awesome and it will be a great event. It sold out last year and this year looks to be the same so buy tickets early!

I look forward to doing the New West show on Thursday as that is where Kidney Komedy started and it is a great room to perform in. It will be nice to catch up with friends while there and little west coast is always a treat.

I managed to pop in to Beily's in Saskatoon last time through and it also looks to be a great venue! Another new stage is always a treat.

Edmonton will be a fantastic show as we take to the stage at The Comic Strip . Probably one of the best clubs in Canada and an awesome location! Its right on Bourbon Street in the world famous West Edmonton Mall!! What a great location for a club! They were so happy to be on board with this event and have been quite helpful.

The show I look forward to, the most though, is the Calgary show! This is the finale and has some special VIP treatment for the comics and volunteers!
It will be a party not to miss. After travelling to all the other cities, all the prepping and running around, all the mass emails, phone calls, prize gathering, poster distribution and last minute items to deal with...it will all be over...except for the celebration.
The comics and the volunteers deserve it. It will be a party in Kerry Talmage's honor and one he would be proud of and the memories of this funny man will be in attendance.

See you folks at one of the Kidney Komedy Nights.
As my good friend Sheri Forbes tags all her emails with:
"Don’t take your organs to Heaven
Heaven knows we need them here!!"
