All right so (correct me if I’m wrong Brian) the list is the list you would have want to see in the entertainement weekly. With no underground comedians, only guy’s with big expsosure. If that’s so, I understand the list better.
@ Nick:
The stand up comedy scene is pretty big in Quebec compared to our demography. After all, montreal is the place where the just for laugh festival was born. A lot of people don’t know that but just for laugh have a french division (juste pour rire), in fact the whole festival started in french. It’s the same concept, only in french. This summer I’m doing a televised gala in front of 2000 people in the same theatre where Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock made hit.
Aproximately 20 comedians are touring accross the province selling out big theatres. The comedy club concept is not popular so instead you have to play in front of 1000 people each night… what a bummer
As for Europe, I just went a couple of months ago and the comedy scene is not well structured at all. In France you’re either making millions out of your comedy or nothing at all. And you’re are totally right Nick, the french have no edge. It’s all theatrical shit. Imagine a country where everybody is doing shows like Christopher Titus except with less talent. The stand up is not really popular in France.
By the way to get back with the subject, just for laugh organised not long ago a “last comic standing” in french, it sucked. I did the show, it was horrible.They are making the same mistake of putting judges who don’t know shit about stand up. This show sucks around the world!
So Last Comic Standing is merde in other languages….what a surprise!
