Last weekend I celebrated Queen Victoria's birthday with a long weekend. "Victoria Day" or "May 2-4" as it's been called, is the unofficial beginning of summer. And, when I think "summertime", I think "cottage". When I think "cottage", I think "Cottage Country"! Well, not right away, I guess. Sometimes I may think "cottage cheese", or  "cottage roll".

But eventually, I get around to thinking "Cottage Country"!

In Ontario, Cottage Country is nestled in the picturesque Muskoka region two hours north of Toronto. And, nestled inside that is beautiful Lake Rosseau, where, just a couple of weeks ago, Laugh Out Loud recorded an evening of stand up at The Cottage Country Comedy Festival featuring Rob Bebenek and K Trevor Wilson.

You'll also hear a little tip of the hat to the late great Irwin Barker.

The last two episodes of this season of Laugh Out Loud will be Listener All Request Extravaganzas! Which comedian did you like so much this past season that you simply have to hear again? Let me know...but you have to let me know WHY you loved them so much!

Email your impassioned plea to lol@cbc.ca and, if we play your pick, we'll read your email on the air AND you'll get a Laugh out Loud prize pack!

PS. Don't forget that we'll be back up at The Cottage Country Comedy Festival on August 11th, recording at The Rene M. Caisse Theatre in Bracebridge!
