July 25: Anything goes

Did you enjoy the fireworks last night? I can honestly say I've never enjoyed fireworks at any time or place. They are the most over-rated form of entertainment I can think of, just inching out parades.

Here's the deal on the show tonight: We've got nothing planned. Doug Stanhope is playing The Bourbon, which isn't too far from the studio. I'll be at the show. Whether I get in or not is another question because it's sold out. But I'm the eternal optimist. And who knows how long it'll last. It's the last show on Stanhope's cross-Canada tour. Will he want to bail early or go long? Dunno.

So I may or may not be there for the show. How's that for commitment?! But trusty sidekick Kevin Smith will be dutifully there playing clips and doing whatever it is he does. If I get back in time, I'll join him. If I run into a potential guest at the Stanhope show who wants to come sit in for the hour and talk about what we just saw, there's always that possibility, too. We're putting the question mark back into What's So Funny?

But no matter what, there will be some kind of radio show based around the notion of comedy tonight from 11 to midnight on CFRO, 102.7 FM. You can live-stream it, too. Google it.
