The first stop on a tour of Quebec from STYX took place August 24th in Trois Riviere at Cogeco amphitheatre. I usually do not like ampitheatre layouts for shows. I have to say this one is different and I might be bold enough to say it is he best venue I’ve been to in […]
STYX has just released a great new 70’s classic rock sounding concept album, The Mission. Amongst all the space rocking music is a story about five astronauts (members of STYX) going on a mission to Mars, Pluto and beyond. As a result they are playing a series of shows in Quebec. In particular is the […]
Strobe lights flickered as band members took their respective places and Keith Urban appeared on a riser beside the drum kit, picking on a banjo, to the first song, Gone Tomorrow. It’s lyrics fit the theme of the night perfectly “It’s Gone Tomorrow but here today / I won’t let it slip away” he did […]
There was several beginnings to Coldplay’s two sold-out nights at the Bell Centre for their Head Full of Dreams tour. When the lights went down there was a spoken word intro from Charlie Chaplin’s speech in the Great Dictator. Then came a minute countdown. At last on the screen were three female fans holding up […]
Just For Laughs is most likely the best festival in Montreal, Canada or the world. While it was yet another fun filled year the world’s best comedy, there were also some just as fun live concerts to entertain and let people just dance. Kool & the Gang were the biggest act and crowd we […]
This was Howie Mandel’s third year in a row hosting a gala. Howie had jokes about married life and getting older such as poor eyesight, finding a grey pubic hair which wasn’t his, or farting but then you crap yourself. He did some of his famous impersonations such as Gizmo. Howie himself decided to […]
Elon Gold’s show is called Pro-Semite and boy is it ever. The bulk of the first round of jokes evolved around the word, Shlep. He said how he should have called the show Elon Gold Sold Out. Saying if a Jew sees something that says sold out they can get tickets through Jewish connections […]
Orny Adams show is called More Than Loud and it fits perfectly. He is like watching a rock star on stage. He expresses what’s going on better than most (if any) other comedian out there. The night began in full rock star mode (almost) with Led Zeppelin’s Good Times not blasting loudly, but just […]
How well do we know our friends- really know them? Do we just take them for granted? Or can we trust them with our secrets? What’s In A Name? is an uproarious, razor-sharp dramedy that slickly swings from nastiness to hilarity. There are plot twists that are truly unexpected and jaw-dropping. The performances are electric […]
Ron : Jessica, so nice to have you coming back. I saw you last year at the Ethnic show. In fact I reviewed the show and you thanked me I believe through your Twitter account. Jessica : You know what? I do remember that and yes I thanked you on my Twitter. Thank you so […]
