August 10
Le Nouveau Theatre Ste. Catherine
Montreal
Happenglad's New Hat

Happenglad's New Hat is an evening of artfully-inspired experimentation. A little o' this and a little o' that, as long as it's brand-spankin' new and exciting. The debut show got reviewed here. I host. Last time we had spoken word, comedy, puppetry, theatre, music, and something kind of unclassifiable and everyone loved it. They really did. Ask 'em. 264 St. Catherine Est, 8 p.m, $5.

Comedy and stuff

So, you may have caught on that I don't list EVERY LITTLE THING that I do in the stand up world. Why? Because, for one, I'm kind of lazy about it. For two, I don't always know what's happening until it's happening. (This is true of me in comedy, and life.) And for three, I like to keep you guessing. But I will let you know what I know, more or less when I know it. I'll be in Toronto and Ottawa in September, and I'll be in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide in November, but I'll let you know more about all of that soon. Keep on your toes. I thank you very much for caring, and reading.

What does DeAnne Smith have in common with Tuvalu, the number 28433 * 2^7830457 + 1, and the Guangzhou people?

Well, Tuvalu, with ten tiny square miles, is the world's fourth smallest country. 28433 * 2^7830457 + 1 is the fourth largest prime number found to date. The Guangzhou people's walking pace ranks fourth in the world and DeAnne Smith, for the THIRD year in a row, was ranked Montreal's fourth best comedian in the Montreal Mirror's Best of Montreal 2009 poll.

So, if you said they're all ranked fourth, you're wrong. It's that most college educated Americans haven't heard of any of them! That's what they have in common.

Try harder next time..

P.S. In 2010, DeAnne Smith was named Montreal's THIRD best comedian. Go, DeAnne, go.
