Hey Coast, maybe check to see if an event or organization still exists before showering praise on them with your annual excuse to sell ads, how about? Want a joke? Look no further than Halifax. Why’d the local stand-up comic leave for Toronto? Because newspapers there at least gives a six about comedy. —Halloween was last week

  1. Stand up? Judging from your post, I’d suggest you sit down & shaddup. Go tongue Toronto’s CN Dildo for all I care.

  2. I think this is a valid bitch, it sucks that ‘Best Comedy Night’ was awarded to something that hasn’t existed for years. If enough people had written “Santos L. Halper” in the category for Best Barista (or whatever), would the coast have printed that?

    It’s pretty glaring evidence that The Coast doesn’t give two shits about comedy. I guess nothing says they have to, but it would be nice. I mean, aren’t event listings a huge part of what they do? Music is great, but what about the other indie shows – theatre and comedy and film nights and whatnot? Those are events too. Just saying

  3. @ZAPH Yeah, Yuk Yuk’s is open on those days, but the award was for Best Comedy Night. And it this case, it was awarded to Yuk Yuk’s Amateur Night (fridays, I think it was) and that night does not exist.
