On this week's show, we head to Calgary, Alberta for a couple of sets from Laugh Out Loud Presents Comedy Monday Night!

A couple of weeks back, we were honoured to be at Broken City Social Club, tape rolling...well computer digitizing where nine Calgary comics took the stage, and I have two of them in this show! The understated, contemplative Terry Hollas and well, pretty much the other side of that coin, Trent McClellan!

On this week's show, we head to Calgary, Alberta for a couple of sets from Laugh Out Loud Presents Comedy Monday Night!

A couple of weeks back, we were honoured to be at Broken City Social Club, tape rolling...well computer digitizing where nine Calgary comics took the stage, and I have two of them in this show! The understated, contemplative Terry Hollas and well, pretty much the other side of that coin, Trent McClellan!

It was an evening filled with headlining comics, and we asked them to distil their sets down to around the 12 minute mark. The results are potent.

I think it's safe for me to speak for LOL producer Tracy Rideout and tell you that we LOVED Calgary!  The comics were great, the club was fantastic and even the people we met along the way were incredible!

For example, Tracy and I were standing outside, waiting for a cab to take us to the club when a friendly gentleman approached us, making casual polite conversation.

During our chat, we soon learned that we were speaking to very well-known Calgary playwright (and ubiquitous CBC radio guest) Eugene Strickland! Small, small world! Eugene let us know that cabs are extremely scarce whenever there's a Flames game on...and Tracy and I were running late!! Eugene disappeared inside the restaurant, then emerged with his friend, Frank, who offered to give us a ride to the venue!

We took Frank up on his offer and I want to thank him again for his help! Thanks Frank. Calgarians are nice people!

I also want to send very special thanks to James Moore (not the Heritage Minister..although he's good, too!) No, the James Moore to whom I refer is a tireless supporter of comedy in Calgary, running Comedy Monday Night, and he was an enormous help to us while we were there! Truly, we couldn't have done any of it without him.

Cheers James, and thanks for these cool photos, too!

In the weeks ahead, you'll be hearing more comics that we recorded on that great night in Calgary!
