Holy Crap 7: Sympathy for the Devil
by Egoslut on Aug.01, 2009, under Shows
Forty-two years ago a man walked into the world with two destinies. One was to bring the angriest comedy show in Montreal to fruition. The other was to successfully cross-breed a goat with a waffle iron. Guess which one is happening this night!
Oh yeah, and there’s another Holy Crap! coming too. That’s right, Montreal’s rowdiest comedy show is back and is fully armed!
Interactive Evil productions’ monthly comedy show includes the best in Montreal comedy and the best in Montreal’s rowdy, drunken bar patrons and puts them together for single night of no holds barred amusement.
This show is fast becoming THE show to see and we fucking dare you to come out and join in the fun. This is the only show that wants you to heckle and say something. Hell… it double-dog dares you.
Performing this month: A plethora of awesome comics including, Paul B, Marquise, Bruno Ly, Paul Ash, Kris Dulgar, Barry Carter, Natacha Filion, Morgan O’Shea, Trevor Forestell and Christophe Davidson.
As always, it is hosted by the only man to banned from a comedy club for religious reasons and the man who turning the age of life, the universe and everything, Devil Dan Derkson.
Best part is…. IT’S FREE!
So, come on down to the Cock n’ Bull and enjoy the evil birthday clown of comedy.

don’t be a Twitter retard

Hey Internet! First of all, I’m sorry that I haven’t been around for the past week. I had inlaws in town so I was being all tour guidey and such. So the site got pretty much ignored last week. Then, I had a problem coming up with something to write about. I had a few ideas buzzing around my head, some moview reviews, some video game reviews, a few comical pieces. However, I really think I found a cause that needs addressing sooner rather than later. If I don’t do it, someone might just get hurt.
That’s right people! I’m talking about… NEW TWITTER USERS!!!
Twitter is awesome. We all can agree on that. So awesome, in fact, that it’s really gotten the eye of the regular media. With their recognition came the new Twitter user. You know who you are. You probably noticed it on Good Morning America, saw it referenced on an ad for 24 or heard about from one of your “computer-y friends”. It was probably explained to you like, “It’s kind of like having a site where you just do your Facebook status over and over.” It sounded stupid but you thought you’d give it a throw and as soon as you started getting 3 and 4 friends. You were hooked. You are now a Twitter user… or are you?
