Wednesday is the Great Canadian Laugh Off Regional finals at Yuk Yuks (show starts at 8pm). If you're in Edmonton, hope to see you there. There's some great comics on the bill, and you're guaranteed a good time.
Sunday was MPW wrestler HEAVY METAL's birthday. I was at the celebrations along with CHI CHI CRUZ, 'YOUNG LION' BOBBY SHARP, BIG JESS, SHANE O'RYAN, MR. INTENSITY, EVAN INFERO, and THE WORLD'S MOST POLITE TAG TEAM (DANNY MANNERS and BRADY ROBERTS). And of course, RIPPER was there to make sure everyone got home safe. It was the first time I've been out drinking since the weeks following my brother's death, and I overdid it a little. On the plus side, Evan Inferno got a picture of me drunk with my head in a strip club toilet--fantastic. Britney Spears eat your heart out. I sobered up as the night went along--just in time to see BIG JESS lashed to a stripper pole. I think I was better off blind drunk.
Yesterday, I MC'd at The Comic Strip, which is always fun. I bumped into BILL GEE before the show and we hung out a bit. He even bought me a drink--of water. I think I've done my drinking for awhile.
As well, don't forget the MPW show this Saturday. Also, MITCH FATEL is coming to town the third week of March, so check that out at The Comic Strip. He's one of the best there is.

I was fortunate enough to win the audience vote in the Great Canadian Laugh Off Wednesday night and along with Judge's choice KERRY UNGER will advance to the finals on Wednesday, February 28 at Yuk Yuks in Londonderry Mall in Edmonton. I'll be joining my co-writer DAWN DUMONT, SEAN LECOMBER, KATHLEEN MCGEE, and a host of other in the finals where the winner will move on to Toronto.
This would probably be a good time to say thank you to all the people who have supported me over the last couple years. Everything I achieve is because of you and I always remember that. Regardless of who wins the contest, the crowd noise from the people who cheered for me Wednesday is something I"ll never forget. Thank you so much.
Dan

Hey everybody. Hope all is well and that you all had a good Valentine's Day.
Tonight is the Great Canadian Laugh Off. There's still a few tickets left, so call the Yuks box office if you're interested in coming down. I'm pretty excited. It's been a while since I've been on Yuks' stage and I'm looking forward to it.
Not much to report otherwise. I've seen a couple plays over the weekend "Hockey Mom, Hockey Dad" which was fantastic and "Les Liaisons Dangereueses" which is one of my favorite scripts. I think I've been watching too much wrestling though--when the sword-fight happened in Liaisons...I spent the entire fight analyzing the storytelling. I liked most of it, and the set-up was good, although the finish could have been a little more clear (or maybe it was a blown spot).

Feb 15 Kokanee Komedy Battle Postponed
Hope this gets to everyone before you head out. Apparently the Sidetrack Cafe has closed its doors, so the Kokanee Komedy Battle has been postponed until Kathleen can find another venue.
This sucks. The Sidetrack was the birthplace of Edmonton comedy as well as being an integral part of the Edmonton music scene. Hopefully we'll know more about what happened soon.

Congrats are in order to my writing partner, DAWN DUMONT, for advancing past the first round of the Great Canadian Laugh Off. I will be performing next Wednesday, February 21st at Yuk Yuks, so I hope people come down as well. If you want to come down and support me and all the other comics, call in advance and make a reservation, as I expect these shows to do well.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Between the Living Column and A Pair of Singles, I've written everything on Valentine's Day that I can possibly think of. I'm told the Ottawa Citizen picked up one of the A Pair of Singles articles, so that's awesome news. I'm hoping we can continue doing it. Dawn and I will be performing together on the 15th at teh Sidetrack Cafe as part of the KOKANEE KOMEDY BATTLE's Valentine's Day special. I am quite excited.

I just learned DAWN DUMONT, who co-writes A Pair of Singles with me in ed Magazine (this week's topic: Valentine's Day) and I will be going onstage at the special Valentine's Day Version of the Kokanee Komedy Battle Thursday, February 15 (http://www.myspace.com/kokaneecomedybattle ). As well, KATHLEEN MCGEE will be on with her boyfriend, RYAN and AMBER-LYNN of Mayhem will be there, and so will the unlikely pairing of POWERMANN and ANDREW IWANYK, aka the Humbugs. With the exception of a couple of joke battles and an ill-considered vaudeville routine with Powermann at the old Sidetrack, I've never done a two man show before. I have no idea what Dawn and I are going to do at this point, but I'm really looking forward to it. If we had someone to design a cool set for us, we could put on an advice show. At least I won't be alone on the day AFTER Valentine's Day. And isn't that the most important thing?

The MPW taping was awesome. It was great to see everyone again, and the cameras were rolling to catch all the action for Season 2 of MPW MADNESS, tentatively scheduled to start airing in April. NITE and HEAVY METAL headlined with at 2-out-of-3 falls match, which was cool a) because you don't see many best of three matches anymore, and b) it was a great opportunity to showcase the "up and comers" in MPW. They lived up to the challenge and put on a great match. As well we saw SYNN return to action and WAVELL STARR, a legend in Canadian Indy wrestling made his debut. Plus we got to see STEVE RIVERS wrestle lucha libre style which was pretty hysterical.
The writing class looks to be great this term. I have seven students, and they are strong writers and the group is very open and friendly. It should be an excellent few weeks.
Don't forget about The Great Canadian Laugh Off happening Wednesdays at Yuk Yuks. I will be performing February 21st. Hope to see you there.
Last Friday Dawn and I went out to the bars to "research" our dating column. Truly, I have the best job in the world.
