Arts, Culture and Entertainment in Montreal
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.

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 […]

Ron : Hello, Ryan, nice to have you coming back to Just For Laughs. Ryan : Thank you. Ron : Edgy Boundary-Pushing is the title of the new show right? Ryan : (laughing) Yeah and I hope some people see the irony in there. It comes out my act from a joke I did about […]
“All the films in this book share an air of disreputability.” -Charles Taylor (from Opening Wednesday at a Theater or Drive-In Near You) I do not often look back to the ‘80’s with fondness; that decade was most unkind to me. But the few bright memories I do retain usually have to do with the […]
Canada’s greatest repertoire cinema hosted a double feature kick off to this year’s Montreal Jazzfest. The main film was Chasing Trane a documentary on legendary jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane. The film is directed by John Scheinfeld, best known for his documentary the People vs John Lennon. The first film of the night was, Oscar, about […]
“Cheers Montreal!” shouted Chad Kroeger several times as he downed yet another of his in between songs Jagermeister shots at last night’s Montreal Nickelback concert. It showed if nothing that his band was having a good time along with the audience who were singing along, playing air guitar or drums, and punching their fists up […]
