We Did Not Win Anything

Urban Improv, Ian Boothby, Diana Frances, SwordPlay, & Twisted Christmas Carol all lost at the 6th Annual Canadian Comedy Awards. In fact no one from the west won anything. We were neither bitter nor surprised as the voting is done across Canada and so only people from Vancouver who are familiar with Vancouver would vote for Vancouver groups, and those from Toronto (which is much bigger) will vote for Toronto groups etc. etc. Ian and Drew got to present some awards to some people from Ontario, and they enjoyed that. Having some west coast representation at the awards was good for everybody, especially for the Toronto gang who were taught a very valuable lesson. Next year Urban Improv will be stacking the voting so that they will be assured of victory!

Pip Pip and 'Ello from London

Okay we're not in London England, it's London Ontario. But Ian, Chris, Drew, Diana and Ellie (with a bit o' help from Dan Joffre) did 13 1/2 minutes of improv shenanigans last night at the Canadian Comedy Awards sketch/improv night. Good fun was had by all, except for Ian who flew in from London England for the show and was so jet lagged he's not sure where he even was last night.

Tonight the Awards. Will we win? Will we be gracious losers? Only time will tell.

Turkey of a Show

Good to know that family values are still in tact and people don't leave their loved ones to see comedy on a Monday night. We had a small but appreciative audience that saw guest star Christine Lippa do alot of breast work. Highlights include Pearce Visser as a strung out Sugar Bear and Gay Hockey on the new and improved CBC.

Who would win in a fight? Ellie or Diana?

Thanks for all of you who voted for the Canadian Comedy Awards. Voting is now closed and Drew, Ian, Diana, Ellie and Chris all head out to London Ontario next week. With any luck they'll come home with the coveted Beaver. (that's right, the statue is a beaver. don't bother trying to make a joke...they've all been done and copywritten.)

Keep watching this site for what will surely be hilarious stories of our adventures at a Canadian awards show.
