Just For Laughs has been on for a week. If your face isn’t sore, your tear ducts aren’t dried out and your lower intestine isn’t stinging, at least a little bit, you haven’t been spending enough time at Canada’s finest comedy festival. Fear not: Though only a few days remain, the best is yet to come.
Kathy Griffin
Remember the hit TV series Suddenly Susan? We hope not. But a diamond in the rough of the grating chick sitcom was Kathy Griffin – annoying, self-deprecating and utterly hilarious. July 17 at 7 pm, St. Denis 1, 1594 St. Denis Road, $47.10 – $182.60.
Craig Ferguson
The Drew Carey Show was memorable for quirky characters, including the irritatingly British boss, played by Craig Ferguson. Now known for The Late Late Show, he’s in town with his offbeat Scottish humour. July 18 at 7 pm, St. Denis 1, 1594 St. Denis Road, $47.10 – $182.60.
Jeremy Piven
You know him as Entourage’s Ari Gold, but you learned to love him as”Droz” Andrews in the college classic PCU. The super-agent himself is here, spreading his gospel. Leave the kids at home. July 18 at 10 pm, St. Denis 1, 1594 St. Denis Road, $47.10 – $182.60.
Jimmy Fallon
Admit it: You kinda liked that Pepsi commercial. The SNL alum, set to fill Conan O’Brien’s spot next year, is always good for a laugh. July 19 at 7 pm and 10 pm, St. Denis 1, 1594 St. Denis Road, $47.10 – $182.60.
