Who's Up for Some CreCommedy?

Get ready, your funny bone is in for some serious tickling!

This Sunday and Monday night, 32 comics-to-be who are also second year students in Creative Communications at Red River College will compete to see who’s the funniest.

But there’s a lot more to this exercise than just getting up on stage and telling jokes.

Since we’re all people who enjoy communicating, most of us can be funny in conversation every so often, but it’s a whole other matter to get up on stage and make an audience laugh.

These students are part of a Comedy Writing class, so they’ve had a chance to learn what it means to be funny, to develop their material, and practice it on family and friends. But when they’re up on that stage facing the crowd, a new kind of nervousness sets in.

Being able to face that nervousness head-on takes courage, and I’d say that’s something worth supporting.

This year’s CreCommedy nights will be held at Rumor’s Restaurant & Comedy Club. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or by calling 204-488-4520.

Who knows, we may see a comedy star in the making!
