Last Wednesday night’s Red Carpet Comedy left quite the buzz in the air among the performers. It is safe to say that our wonderful audience that evening (listening, interested and appreciative) provided the comedians with enough adrenaline to lose at least a couple of hours of sleep. Audiences such as that really make the show [...]

The last Red Carpet Comedy show was over two weeks ago. Normally there is a follow-up blog post within a couple days of the show (thanking the performers and audience and recapping anything eventful), but the show’s producer left for Las Vegas on a vacation just a couple days later and this post is now [...]

Thank you to everyone who made it out for our first production and for making it a more than memorable evening. [...]

Our leap day show last Wednesday night was a great success! The smaller than usual crowd was on board to laugh (when it was deserved) and it’s fair to say that every performer had at least one thing (and usually more) in his or her set that will make it into the regular show rotation. [...]

It’s fair to say that everyone learned a lot and are now significantly better [...]

Two weeks ago we posted about Cory Mack (one of the Red Carpet Comedians) being a part of The Calgary International Children’s Festival “Simple Fun” campaign. She was the featured guest on the inaugural video of the project which will see a video released every week showcasing a Calgary celebrity sharing his or her secret [...]

Wednesday night’s Red Carpet Comedy was our 18th show. In the previous 17 performances there have been 160 slots for comedians to perform in, over 27 hours of new stand-up material created (some good, some bad) and an atmosphere that has local comedians eagerly/anxiously awaiting their spots on stage. Never in those 17 previous shows [...]

One of Red Carpet Comedy’s favourite performers, Cory Mack, was a part of the inaugural video for The Calgary International Children’s Festival “Simple Fun” campaign. In it she shares some jokes (which are hilarious) and some games (also great) that you can share with people of almost any age. Here’s her YouTube video: We also [...]
