Two More Shows This “Season”
Posted March 10th, 2010To wrap up the 2009/2010 Season of Red Carpet Comedy there will be two special theme shows taking place. These performances will allow you to see the Red Carpet Comedians challenged to write material on “over used” stand-up topics and to see the jokes that actually made it into their shows.
April 7 – The Hackety-Schmackety-Doo Edition
Each of the performers on the April 7 show will be encouraged to write new and fresh material on topics that he or she considers to be “over used”. Amongst comedians we call such topics or premises “hack”, so this evening of comedy will endeavour to prove that there is no such things as hack premises, only hack comedians (which none of our performers are). Every comedian has their own definition of hack, so you’ll still hear material on a wide variety of subjects.
Date: April 7, 2010
Doors Open: 7:00pm for drinks and dinner
Show: 8:00pm
Tickets: $10.00 (Click here to order.)

May 5 – The Material That Made It Edition
The May 5 show will be the sixth Red Carpet Comedy performance. Within the five shows that preceded it, a LOT of great material has been written, rehearsed, and first performed on our stage. It’s about time that we all heard what material made it into the regular shows of the performers. During the final show of the 2009/2010 Season the comedians will suspend the “only new material” rule for up to three minutes to hear the jokes, stories, and material, that stuck around after the first attempt on the Red Carpet Comedy stage. You’ll get to hear how they changed (if at all), and see if it’s still funny the second time around.

Tickets for both shows are on sale now and comedians can RSVP for either or both shows online. After May 5 we’ll be breaking for the summer months (we don’t want to compete with “patio weather” and leave a lot of empty patios) so these two shows will be your last chance to see the highs and lows that come when Calgary’s comedy celebrities take some major risks for huge artistic gain.
