A very cool little development here on the comedy front is that the Great Canadian Laugh Off is once again in town, and it coincides with the opening of the brand new Yuk Yuk's comedy club in the Elbow River Casino.
The GCLO is a comedy talent search with a grand prize of $25,000 (plus other cool stuff), but in the early rounds of the competition it's really just about getting time on stage in front of audiences specifically out to see comedy (as opposed to people in a local bar who show up to drink with friends and are forced to put up with a comedy show brought in by management).
So, this year, I'm reinventing myself for the event and going out on a limb with a bizarre new (for me) approach to my own material. I'll be bringing a new look and a new style and a new twist to the stage in an attempt to stand out from the crowd while having a little fun.
Am I going to give you details? Not a chance. You'll either have to come out and
catch the show on February 25th at The Elbow River Casino in Calgary at 8pm, or wait until I post the video here or on YouTube. I don't want to give the competition too much of a warning of what they can expect to be up against.
But, all of the mystery aside, what this is really about is following dreams, having fun, and trying to stay fresh at any age. And at least for the next couple weeks, I'll be aiming to be fresh like... well...like...I don't know, like FRESH!
And that's all I have to say about that. Any more and you'll know the secret and I'd have to kill you.
Ciao for now.
Tim Reynolds.
