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!
