Red Carpet Comedy is returning on September 26, 2012! To celebrate the launch of our fourth season, we've got a lot happening that night...

As with all RCC shows, we'll be featuring Calgary's comedy celebrities strutting their new stuff and policing them with the always-intimidating "That Was Easy" button. Appearing that night will be Donovan Deschner, Amanda Brooke Perrin, Doug Mutai, Don Wood, Brent Constantin, Ian Wallace, Jeff Kubik, Sarah Adams and Chris Griffin. In the coveted up-and-comer spot that night, we'll have Todd Ness (which will be his first time on the show). These are some of the absolute favourites from our first three seasons and we couldn't be happier to kick off our new year of shows with such a talented line-up.

This premiere show will also be a featured part of the upcoming YYComedy Festival; a gathering of Calgary-related acts from across North America as well as the current local comedy scenes in stand-up, sketch and improv are joining forces to showcase what our very funny city has created. Most every local stand-up venue is involved in the festival and it gives us great pleasure to support them and be included within their line up. You can see the full festival schedule online by clicking here - there are events from September 24 to 30 and every night has a must-see show of some kind.

As if that wasn't enough, we're also using the launch of our fourth season to launch our "Best of Season 3" comedy album - recorded in June and featuring many of the same performers (with some exceptions) as our premiere night will highlight. September 26 is the first day that the finished album (showcasing the best of the best material created throughout season three) will be available for sale and everyone in the audience will get their very own copy included in their ticket price.

Tickets for the show ($10 each) are available online or at the door that evening (cash, Visa or Mastercard). For our regular fans, we have also introduced a somewhat-original concept in the world of stand-up comedy: A Season's Pass! There are so many smiling, laughing faces in the crowd at Red Carpet Comedy shows that we see almost every time, that we wanted to reward their patronage (and assistance in crafting the next generation of shows for so many) by offering a 33% discount on our season. We have nine shows confirmed for season four - right through until June 2013 - and with the season's pass only $60, it's like getting three shows for free! Passes are available for sale through PayPal by clicking here. (If you'd like more than one pass, you can change the quantity on the PayPal page.)

There are lots of reasons to not only join us for our Season 4 Premiere as a part of YYComedy but for our entire season (or, at least, a couple of shows). Can't wait to see you back at a Red Carpet Comedy show or in the crowd for the very first time!
