Heroes
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!"

So, I just wanted to check and see if you got the free songs/video download I messaged you about...? If you haven't yet, you can get your copy at www.gavinmikhail.com/freesongs - And, just so you know, it comes straight from my official gavinmikhail site (so there's no chance of viruses, etc... a few people have asked about that...). Anyway, let me know if you get it ok...
Thanks again for listening. I hope you're doing great...
