February 22, 2010 (Winnipeg) – It’s nearly that time of year again, when dozens of comics from across the nation hold the city hostage with big laughs and side-splitting mirth. Running April 6-11, 2010, it’s our biggest festival yet, featuring 70 comics and 29 shows in six short nights. What makes this festival so big? Let’s start at the beginning. Tuesday, April 6th we launch the festival with a bang by hosting the Trevor Boris DVD Release/Homecoming 2010 show. When Winnipeg’s favourite farmboy-turned-Much Music-host Trevor Boris announced his intentions to return home to launch his new DVD with Warner Brothers, we decided to join forces and create a show celebrating Trevor and other fine Manitoba ex-pats Irwin Barker and Bruce Clark, as well as current Winnipeggers Al Rae and Chantel Marostica. Wednesday marks our eighth year of the fantastic Opening Night show with the Manitoba Lotteries, hosted this year by none other than the prodigal son, Trevor Boris! The show has swollen from the traditional four to six talented performers; Greg Morton, Derek Edwards, Arthur Simeon, Scott Faulconbridge and Karen O’Keefe. Next comes four nights of galas, including five recorded-for-broadcast CBC galas. We kick off on Thursday with the Edumacation Show, hosted by Gerry Dee and featuring half a dozen cerebral comics including David Hemstad and Jon Dore. Friday night we’ve got two fantastic galas.

He possesses the crackling wit of a ’30s screwball comedy ingé- nue, a vocabulary that is a treasure chest of mots justes, impressive but most times not too showy for everyday wear” (Los Angeles Times). Short-listed for the Whiting Award and the Stephen Leacock Medal, he is two-time recipient of the Lambda Book Award for Humor. Mr. Rakoff is a charter member and regular contributor to Public Radio International’s This American Life. His writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine and been featured in Best American Travel Writing, The Best American Non-Required Reading, Da Capo’s Best Music Writing (edited by Nick Hornby), and Outside 25: The Best of Outside Magazine’s 25 Years. He contributed to the 2008 book State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America, the recent anthology My First New York and the forthcoming The Fifty Funniest American Writers from the Library of America.
