I arrived last night in PEI for the first ever Island Comedy Festival. The festival organizers have been incredible with their hospitality. Marie-France and her husband Craig are nothing short of amazing folks.
Today is the day the majority of the comics arrive and I can't wait to see them.
The line up this year is awesome. In no particular order-Steve Patterson, Simon Rakoff, Irwin Barker, Wafik Nasrella, Paul Myerhaug, birthday girl Erica Sigurdson, the rest of the Canadian Untity tour (Jason Blanchard, Andrew Evans, Johnny Legend and Levi MacDougall) and more. Check out the line up on their site. There is not one weak or gross spot on the bill!! It will be an amazing festival. If you have any friends on the island or the east coast, please tell them to check it out. Just click the blog title for the link.
Many of these comics I get to see once a year (if I'm lucky to cross paths with them) and we will all be on the island whooping it up while making the potato folks laugh their red dirt asses off. I am also looking forward to meeting and seeing a few newbies (to me) in the comedy biz. Always nice to see the up and comers as well as the vets I rarely get to watch.
So join the fun and show off your "Ricky" folks.
I'll update when I recover or if I get a burst of energy in the mornings.
I have to fly back on a red-eye early Friday morning (Thankfully my flight is on WestJet, my preferred airline) to do another great show, the Kidney Komedy Night. A sold out event!

It is a wild and fun week for sure!
