Dec. 2: Brent Butt

Brent will look something like this tonight.

Christmas is coming early this year. Tonight we're graced by the great Brent Butt, who has been absent from our studio since December of 2005. But we'll cut the elusive comic some slack. It's not as if he's been sloughing off. When he was last with us, Butt was still filming his hit sitcom Corner Gas. Well, since then he's gone on to create and star in another one, Hiccups. And most recently he's just finished shooting a feature length move, No Clue, which will be out... whenever it comes out. I have no clue but I guess we'll find out tonight. While those big- and small-screen efforts are great, I've been especially thrilled that Brent is getting back to his stand-up roots, making appearances in small weekly rooms around the city and still getting out and touring big venues around the country. This guy is having his cake and eating it, too. And no, that's not a fat joke.

So have a listen. We'll be on the air at 11 pm PST on CFRO, 100.5 FM in Vancouver. I know Brent has fans all over the world, so if you get this in time, you can livestream the show at coopradio.org. If you don't get this in time, fret not. The show will be available in popular podcast format next Sunday. See, so you're getting your cake and eating it, too. Cake for everyone!
