Thursday nights at Absolute Comedy always have a certain electric atmosphere about them. This night was no different. The audience was mostly youngins, with a sprinkling of drunk teachers and everyone was excited for the show to begin.
The host for the evening was Tommy Fitz, a regular at Absolute Comedy. Fitz appeared on stage wearing some very comical glasses. He started with some crowd banter and learned very quickly that teachers are very disruptive when alcohol is involved. A women in the back was in town for photography purposes and Fitz turned this into a funny joke about pornography which the crowd loved. Fitz then talked about his dad and ninjas and everyone was warmed up for the first act.
The lucky audience got a surprise visit from Jordan Chyzowski. This young man was in town for his aunt’s wedding and is definitely one of Canada’s hidden gems. Unfortunately he will not be performing all weekend; however, if he is ever performing in Ottawa again, JH5 will let you know!
Fitz then brought Dan Bingham to the stage. The audience was impressed with this Montreal based comedian whose toaster jokes stole the show. Comics often do jokes about how Americans view Canada, but not this well. He had figured out the further you go south in the U.S, the more ignorant people become. By the time he reached Dallas, Texas, beavers were putting their feces in hockey gear. The crowd loved him, and his jokes.
Finally, headliner Evan Carter, came to the stage. His Urkel-like persona was a big hit with the crowd. Everyone related to his hatred for teenagers and their refusal to load the dishwasher. He had the audience in the palm of his hand the entire show.
