Jim Jefferies - HBO I swear to God.


Just a little comedy plug!

I first saw this comic a couple years back at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.  I caught him on the Nasty Show at Club Soda, and it he was great.  I love a "dirty comic", but the best ones are the ones who serve it up with a bit of truth and honesty.  Never taking themselves too serious, and always putting there own ego on the line for the sake of a laugh.  It's also refreshing to see the UK style in America.  There is a theatricality to performers over the pond that comes from all the Theatre Performances, unlike in America where most of us spend the majority of our time performing in  comedy clubs.

Check out his  special which you can catch this month, on HBO and On Demand, or next Month in Chicago at the new JFL comedy festival.

Swine Flu

The worst time for a pork based flu to break out is during flu season.  Everyone  is sick, and everyone is sure that they have the swine flu.   You don't have it!  You didn't have Bird flu, and you didn't have SARS, and now you DO NOT have swine flu!

That being said I have a little tickle at the back of my throat and I'm pretty sure it is Swine Flu.

I have the weekend off in Halifax, and Jason is coming out so The Flying Bellevilles shall take to the streets!
