The best part about mainstream media's inability to promote comedy; So I'm reading the Sun and once a week they have all the event listings, and this week they really focused comedy, showing all the great acts coming to Calgary. They had some Canadian chick as the most important, and then a bunch of other small comedians, and no mention of these shows.
So you have Bill Burr coming to Calgary, literally one of the hottest acts in the world right now, had to add a second show, but the Sun literally doesn't even know he's coming.
