Canadian Comedy Awards

When it comes to comedy, Canada has some serious jokers. And, on October 4, some of the very best will fill the All in a Day studio for a three-hour show devoted to Canadian Comedy. We're not kidding. 


Well. Right now we're not kidding. But when members from the cast of This is That  land in studio 12, there will be a lot of kidding, joking and hopefully some full-out belly laughter. Oh, and live music. We're bringing in a house band! 

These comedians, along with dozens more, will be in town October 3 to 6 for the Canadian Comedy Festival, taking place at venues across the city. 

The best part of this super-awesome, yuk-filled All in a Day special? We're opening the doors to studio 12 to a group of lucky audience members to watch the show live, AND we're giving away tickets to both the Friday Night and Saturday night Comedy Festival performances. 

Tune in to All in a Day starting Monday, September 30 to learn how to get your hands on these tickets - and for more information about the show.

PITCH US AN OTTAWA-BASED SITCOM IDEA - AND WIN!

What would a sitcom based in Ottawa look like? Who would be the characters? What situations would they find themselves in? What neighbourhoods? 

We want you to pitch us an idea for an Ottawa (or Valley, or Gatineau, or general National-Capital-Region) sitcom, something that finds the funny in the 613. 

Winners get to sit in on Friday's show, and they'll win tickets to one night of the Canadian Comedy Festival. 

TO ENTER: Email us, in 250 words or less, your pitch for an 613-based sitcom. You've got 'til Wednesday.
