Since I have gotten back into improv, I have taken a lot of pride in considering myself as someone who is into comedy. Yet, I very rarely spend time out at comedy shows. I feel like I was living in Montreal, I actually went to see stand-up comedy shows fairly frequently. And there have been a few times since living in Vancouver that I went to a couple of shows at Yuk Yuk's with friends, and every time was absolutely awesome - so why do I not go to see more comedy? One quick answer could be that I might not actually have the time, but that's a silly excuse. If it's something that I really love then I should be making the time, right? Well that's what I did about a month ago when I found out that one of my favourite comedians, Jon Lajoie, was going to be performing in Vancouver.
I wasn't sure what kind of show it was going to be. Was it a comedy routine, a concert, some sort of combination of the two? Would they be showing his YouTube videos? What the heck was the night going to be? The answer: AWESOME! He did an awesome job. The songs were great, the stand-up comedy was hilarious, and the handling of the hecklers was down-right impressive! As always I walked away wondering why the heck I don't go to more live stand-up shows. Clearly I need to make it a priority again.
Generally I would say that Jon Lajoie's type of humour might not be suited to some of the readers of this blog (Hi Mom and Gramma!), but I think I found a song of Jon's that everyone can enjoy. There's still some language in it, but it's fleeting - so if anyone wants to avoid the language then you can just stop listening as soon as the rap starts!
ENJOY!!!
