Direct from LA, where he now lives, Toronto funny-man Michael Gelbart kept the audience laughing with his ‘classics’ as they watched 16 of the competition’s funniest comics face off for eight spots in the finals. After two hilarious shows and stellar performances and a very close tally, here’s the line-up moving on Sunday night’s finals - and The Comedy Network special.
Show 1: Cedric Newman, Mark Little, John Ki, Chuck Byrn.
Show 2: Mark Forward, Trixx, Ray Garrett, Graham Chittenden
Congratulations to all the comics for bringing the house down with laughs. Can’t wait for the finals tomorrow.
Special thanks to our judges for both shows… David Reuben (Thecomedygreenroom.com), Darrin Pfeiffer (102.1 The Edge), Karina Lemke (Host of Rich Bride, Poor Bride and Petal Pushers), Rudy Blair (680 News), and Farley Flex (Judge on Canadian Idol).
