Just For Laughs - Thursday

Filed Under Just For Laughs

You may have already know this from my “Quick Update” center above, but let’s make it official. I’m in Montreal for the Just For Laugh festival, which is probably the biggest comedy festival in North America. There’s a ton of comics walking around here - names you know and names you don’t. I’m more than a little bummed that I already missed the Comedy By Numbers event for the recent book. But I should have a pretty big evening, checking out the Second section of New Faces, then I’ll be catching the David Cross and Bob Odenkirk hosting the sketch revue called “The Line-Up” - then, if I’m lucky, because it’s looking sold out - The Green Room with Paul Provenza and guests (he did this last night too, and I already have heard I missed something). I’ll have updates on these and other parts of the fest over the next couple of days. If I have something short to say, it’ll be the “Quick Update” box above.

The good: CBS adds two sitcoms to schedule. The bad: Mike Birbiglia's show appears to have not been picked up. You can watch previews of what they did order.
