Just For Laughs Road Show Announces Line-up for Centre In The Square Show
Kitchener, ON - The Just For Laughs Road Show is back at the Centre In The Square on Thursday April 10, 2008, 8:00 p.m. Get ready to laugh as the line-up this year will have you rolling in the aisles! The comedian’s booked for this performance are Jim Short, Joe Starr, Andrew Goose and Tim Nutt.
Jim Short is an Australian-born comic who began his stand-up career in Dallas, Texas, and now lives in San Francisco. In 2007, Jim made his debut on The Late Show with David Letterman. He has also appeared several times on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, as well as Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. Jim has appeared three times at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and was the 2004 winner of the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition.
Joe Starr has show business in his blood. Combining a “Rat Pack” retro-cool with a masterful eye for absurdities of modern life, Joe is a favourite everywhere he performs. He has worked with a host of luminaries including Tim Allen, Kevin James, Wendy Liebman, Soupy Sales and most recently, Robert Klein and in 2004 was featured on the Just For Laughs Comedy Tour across Canada. Joe has also appeared in venues ranging from comedy clubs to theatres to Caesar’s in Atlantic City and was chosen to perform at the Just For Laughs Festival 5.
Andrew Grose is a Canadian comedy veteran with some of the most impressive credentials in the industry. He has appeared in his own sitcom on The Comedy Network as well as Comedy Now, Comics!, Help TV, Comedy At Club 54, Madly Off In All Directions and Debaters. Andrew received nominations for a Canadian Comedy Award and a Gemini for outstanding television writing for CTV’s Double Exposure as well as a Leo for his outstanding writing on the television series Point Blank. Grose has also appeared on two Just For Laughs Tours, has performed at Just For Laughs four times and entertained our Canadian military overseas in Afghanistan.
Tim Nutt is a comic book that cannot be judged by his cover. Long-haired, bearded and "Rough around the edges", audiences expect Nutt's material to match. But he surprises with razored-down punch lines and well conjured-up premises that place him as one of the top comics working today. Tim was recently recognized with a Canadian Comedy Award for his performance on CBC's Just For Laughs.
