Calgary Fringe Fest is going on soon. Plenty of good comedy acts. For those who were a fan, Naked Improv is very similar in style to Whose Line Is It Anyway.

Speaking of Whose Line Is It Anyway, Colin Mochrie is also coming to Calgary for the Improv Fest.

Burning love is funny. Natasha leggero's character cracks me up.

Very sad news. Tig Notaro has breast cancer.

Applause gave way to reticent laughter as she explained how she had planned a set about bees flying alongside her car on the 405, but that she couldn’t possibly do her “silly jokes” when all this was going on. And that’s when she told us that 3 days ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, in both breasts.

Good One was one of my favourite comedy CD's of last year.

Very sad news. Tig Notaro has breast cancer.

She's one of the funniest ladies out there, and hopefully she can beat this.

I think this is on topic for this thread.. but if anyone hasn't watched a Modern Family episode yet they really need to gve it a go.

IMO best show since Seinfeld on TV.

Harris Wittels' humblebrag book came out yesterday. I'll be buying it soon. Harris is one of my top 5 favorite comedians. I read the first 10 pages or so... It's pretty funny.
