Hope it's a great event! I know first-hand how much work goes in to organizing such an event. All worth it though!

Donovan Deschner Got a last minute opportunity to middle at the Calgary Yuk's club for a night and I jumped at the chance (especially given the great performers I got to work with).

Donovan Deschner Still looking for Saturday night plans? If it helps I'll be on the Calgary Yuk Yuk's shows at 8 and 10pm. If that doesn't help; at least you can't say I didn't try.

Donovan Deschner A weekend (well... three shows) at Yuk Yuk's Edmonton. Quite the trans-Canada show!

Donovan Deschner Definitely a unique and memorable couple of nights at LaffLines. A couple of people attributed the crowd's behaviour to the full moon, but I would have to say it was the drinks.

@Andrew: It's actually my "studio" here in Vancouver. (Also where I'm staying while working the club this weekend.)

@Tracey: Thanks! Hopefully it's a long and fruitful career of 15 minutes. ;-)

You may know that I was scheduled to appear as the middle act at Calgary's new Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club near the end of July. That appearance was indefinitely postponed, and apparently September 10 to 12 is when they “indefinitely postponed” it to!

I’ll be appearing as the middle act along with the headliner, Ian Sirota, ...and MC, Bryan Hatt. While I haven’t worked with either of these performers before I’ve been asking around and I hear both myself and the audience are in for a treat.

As this will be my first crack at my local club I’ll be bringing out the tried and true material and playing with some new stuff that’s been doing really well in open-mic rooms but hasn’t yet seen a club stage. So, even if you think you’re sick of my show... there will be something in there for you that’s not quite as nauseating.

SHOWTIMES:
Thursday, September 10 @ 8:00 PM
Friday, September 11 @ 8:00 PM
Saturday, September 12 @ 8:00 PM
Saturday, September 12 @ 10:30 PM

Tickets are available through the box office 403.258.2028 or calgary@yukyuks.com. You can also find the Calgary club here on Facebook:

(In fact, that page has a LOT of details about tickets, etc.)

If you are so inclined you can also check out the Yuk’s website:

With corporate season fast approaching and more touring work coming down the line my appearances in Calgary are getting more and more limited, so I hope that you’ll be available on one of these nights as I would LOVE to see you there.
