If I was going to be stuck on a desert island and could only bring along five reasons to go see Will Franken perform in Montreal at the Just For Laughs Festival, July 23rd to the 26th, I think there’d be no question as to what the first reason would be:
REASON 1: MONTREAL IS BETTER THAN A DESERT ISLAND
Montreal is a much better place to be than a desert island. Please bear in mind that I have neither been to Montreal nor a desert island before–but I can imagine that the latter is not as much fun as the former. If you are in Montreal, for example, there are plenty of people you could ask to help you get off of a desert island. But if you’re on a desert island–good luck finding someone to help you get off of a desert island!
The shows have been terrific, and competition has been fierce. Here’s the results of the first 3 weeks- these are the comics moving on to the semi-finals.

Dana Carvey recently appeared on Kevin Pollak’s new online chat show. The Dana Carvey part doesn’t start until about 4 minutes in, but it’s a LONG interview and well worth the wait for Carvey fans.
And if you’re still not Carvey-ed out, check out The Dana Carvey Show. All 8 episodes are available for free at Hulu.
Kevin Camia is one of San Francisco’s rising stars of comedy. In fact, he just won “The Golden Shingle” award as most outstanding rising stand-up star at the 2009 Rooftop Comedy Festival. Around town he’s known as the “comedians’ comedian” with his tightly written material, dry wit, and laid-back “tell it like it is” style. His credits include Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham,” AZN’s “ Asia Street Comedy,” and the SF Sketchfest. On July 17th & 18th, he’ll be headlining the Opening Weekend of “LIVE at the Purple Onion,” a new dinner & stand-up series at the legendary SF nightclub.
July 17th & 18th @ The Purple Onion
8pm, 10pm

The very funny David Feldman, Emmy award-winning TV writer and former SF comic, appeared on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last Thursday. (After what was probably one of the most awkward intros ever given to a comedian on a late night show.)
