Edmonton’s very funny
Sometimes, when the winters are long and cold, you need to find
There's too much funny here!
ways to amuse yourself and those bundled up nearby.
Thankfully, that means there are plenty of funny people around Edmonton to keep us all smiling. (Maybe not smiling insanely like me, over there –>)
If you’re not familiar with The Gateway, the University of Alberta’s student newspaper you should get familiar. It’s a quality paper.
Oh, and twice a year they do a great issue where they skewer all kinds of things with sarcasm, wit and plenty of foul language. I’ll note that a few of the images in the newest issue of The Getaway are really, really NOT SAFE FOR WORK. But they take on the University (of course) and issues happening right now in higher learning, plus they zing us online folks so it’s good times. (Again, images are NSFW.)
The other bit of funny I’ve got to pass along today is the awesome news I heard this morning on CBC Edmonton. The Irrelevant Show is coming back to radio!
This was/is a sketch comedy show recorded live at The Varscona Theatre. (Though, future recording locations may change.) For an introduction to what you might hear, check out the Jane Austen Drinking Game.
More information on the 2010 schedule of recording from the Radio Active page. It also explains why host Peter Brown will be off the air more. Tickets will be going on sale for next year’s recordings soon.
They’ve also got a New Year’s Eve special, which will surely be hilarious.
