Three Chords From The Truth
The Award ceremony takes place on Friday, October 2 at the Imperial Theatre which will be taped for broadcast by The Comedy Network to be aired at a later date. The Last Laugh Gala rocks the Imperial Theatre on Saturday October 3. The Last Laugh Gala is a crazy fast paced variety extravaganza and will feature the year’s top talent and is sure to be the best evening of comedy north of the 49th parallel.
What’s happened to the nominations for best stand up(s)? Just curious, mostly on account of I’m one of the nominees.
This site is about Canadian TV series, so I only posted the TV nominees. Full list is at http://www.canadiancomedy.ca or various news outlets. But congrats!
Some interesting nominees, glad to see Gavin Crawford as a continued nominee for best performance, Male. Mostly, glad to see fresh star Nathan Fielder – uniquely hillarious.
Impressed with choice of Nathan Fielder as best male performer, recognizing his unique style and the buzz he’s created on that show.
