Canadian Content had just opened for the Bruce McCullough Project in the San Francisco SketchFest 2007
About me: Hi! How are ya'all doin'? We are Canadian Content a sketch comedy troupe of the utmost highest quality based out of Vancouver. We recently were nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award as best Sketch Troupe in Canada but we decided not to win. 2007 has been a very exciting year for the gang at Canadian Content. So far we have performed at two major Sketch Comedy Festivals in our big scary neighboring country the United States. First we rocked two shows at The Chicago Sketch Fest and then we opened for Canadian Comedy Icon Bruce McCullough (pronounced Mc-Cull-ok apparently) of the Kids in the Hall in the fair city of San Fransisco. Both of the shows were very well received and even Bruce himself liked our character work. All in all a productive January! Our application is off to the largest Comedy Festival in the world Montreal's Just for Laughs. You may have heard of it... and production has begun on the feel good hit of the summer, the Canadian Content Feature Film as yet untitled. Stay tuned for more details and footage from our soon to be show!
"The show that puts all other sketch comedy to shame!"

My favourite memory has to be when you came over to Dave and Damonde's and we were all high on 'shrooms and you listened to Greg and I talk about comedy and do voices and... uhhhh... wait a minute. I think I may have heard that story before *LOL* Seriously though, my favourite memory is easily the Mondays I did improv at the Well when you used to have an odd little "Improv Amateur Night." I had a blast, learned a lot and then discovered as far as Improv Games go, I am only good when my improv is prepared. Thanks guys, yer the best!! :-)
OK, I can explain why there are 2 of the same comments from us on your page. While I was waiting for the comment to post I noticed that I spelt the word 'videos' wrong...so I hit stop...then I said "ahh who cares" and hit post comment again. Apparently it already posted the first one. Sorry for taking up so much space on your myspace page. I promise it won't happen agian!
