Comedians, like athletes, can get into a groove where everything they touch turns to gold, and they can get into slumps where everytime they step on stage they struggle.
So in our neck of the woods, who is hot and who is not?
Tommy Savitt In the last few years Tommy has taken the Boston Comedy Competition Crown as well as The Seattle Comedy Competion Crown.
The sky is the limit for this former lawyer from Brooklyn, New York.
York Underwood By all rights this guy gets Rookie of the Year Award.
He began comedy under the expert tutelage of The Maestro (AKA Dez Reed, the discoverer and teacher of such comedians as Shawn Majumbder, Kelly Taylor and more) and in one short year has taken the Western Canadian comedy scene by storm.
Dez Reed Celebrating twenty years as a mainstay of Canadian comedy, celebrating twenty years of marriage and celebrating the arrival of his tenthy child, Dez Reed continues to defy his critics.
Last year Dez Reed hooks up with President Bush, this year he hooks up with comedy legend Martin Short.
The Maestro continues to help anyone interested in pursuing a comedy dream and leads by example writing more and better material in two days (The CD Chocolate Bars and Faggots was written and the recorded in less than two days) than many comedians do in a lifetime.
The 10th Anniversary of The Great Plains Comedy Festival.
The festival itself is hot.
