Just For Laughs kicked off its English programming on Thursday night with the Nasty Show hosted by Jeffrey Ross: The Roastmaster General from the Comedy Central Roasts. HSP was in attendance for both shows and it was a solid comedy show filled with lots of laughing. It's a staple at the fest and a must see this year. Limited tickets are still available for shows tonight. Check hahaha.com for ticket availabilities. If you cannot attend tonight, JFL just added two new shows on July 29 at 8pm and 10:30pm.
Jeffrey Ross makes an appearance on the Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda to promote Just For Laughs. He returns again to host the July 29 Nasty Show's as well.
I love Montreal for so many reasons but my absolute favourite thing about Montreal is the CREATIVITY! When I heard about the Pinkarnaval as part of Just For Laughs street festivities, I knew right away it will be awesome.
Inspired by fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier's humour in his designs, Pinkarnaval will host two events on Saturday and Sunday night. Tonight kicks off with a parade paying tribute to Jean Paul Gaultier. In collaboration with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, more than 1,600 volunteers will take part in this parade that starts at 7:30pm. Costumes inspired by Gaultier's looks and giant 20-foot inflatable puppets (the first of their kind) will light up the streets of Montreal where Gaultier will be in attendance.
On Sunday, at Place des Festivals, a staged outdoor version of the parade will be presented.
Jean Paul Gaultier's iconic stripes have been taking over the city. Even on a taxi!
One final note, don't forget that the Ethnic Show begins next Thursday. hahaha.com for ticket info.
