Jan. 23: Paul Anthony

Paul Anthony is the modern-day Ted Mack. Yes, there are more contemporary references I could make, but that'd be too easy. You're already at this site; how hard is it to toggle on over to Google? They say you learn something new every day, so why not get it out of the way right now?

Anyway, back to Paul Anthony. While we're on comparisons, how about a cross between Pee Wee Herman and Crispin Glover? The irrepressible Mr. Anthony, besides being an actor of repute and the father to many a comedic alter-ego (Hugh Phukovsky, Porker), hosts a monthly variety showcase at the Biltmore Cabaret the first Wednesday of every month. The next one – its 3-year anniversary – is drawing nigh: a week and a half, to be exact, Feb. 2. Check out this line-up according to Talent Time's Facebook page:

2 of our favourite entertainers share the stage together for the first time. Not since Elton John joined Eminem at the Grammy's has there been a more anticipated musical collaboration.......

Stay after the show for KARAOKE & CHAMPAGNE with WEEKEND LEISURE!! If you can stay and celebrate with us and VancouverIsAwesome we would love it.

Oh, and did I mention Paul will be our guest live in studio tonight? Well, he will. And we'll talk about this show (is it chalk full of irony or is his earnestness honest?) and lots, lots more. So tune in at 11. Details are somewhere over there ––> in the right panel.

(Oh, and speaking of VancouverIsAwesome, I never plugged the little interview with yours truly from last month. Read it here. That sounds like an order, but it isn't. Just a point of information.)
