Saw this guy on Live at the Apollo the other evening, some of his puns made me groan, but damn funny all in all.

Does he get much Canadian TV exposure?

Nope, never heard of him. I liked the Craig Ferguson late night show, but can't recall seeing the comedian. If he isn't on one of the comedy tours going across the country, or on the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival tv specials, he's flying under the radar.
Edit: Turns out he's been on Just For Laughs several times, and I just didn't see him.

Becoming a regular event in this building. Appears to be false alarm again. But man these alarms are getting annoying.

James Holzhauer is making a slow start today on Jeopardy, this could be interesting.
edit; nah, he made 80,000 and left them in the dust anyway.

We needed some cash today to pay a water system guy, OH said have you got any cash ( he knows I usually have a little srash) We paid the guy and after he Mr Piff says, it's a good job you've got some money tucked away I forgot to get some out. I just replied, i took it from the puppy fund....

We've got a puppy fund??? He says. Yep, I've been saving tips, was supposed to be a vacation fund but it's probably a puppy fund😉🤣🤣🤣

Always forget Easter weekend is a holiday weekend here and that it's not just a typical Friday.

One of the classics; I used to show this at film night back in the 80's.

I nearly saw The Dave Matthews Band at Jones Beach in the late '90s. I'd been working just up the road in Hauppauge for a few weeks, got called back to Switzerland three days before the gig.

Swapped the two tickets for a week's car 'rental' on my next trip out... Still miffed at not seeing DMB though.
