Just For Laughs - Montreal Comedy Festival 2009

Sunday November 29 8.30pm

Crack open a beer, settle back on the sofa, and prepare to laugh as TEN kicks off a Summer of Comedy by heading straight to the comedian's mecca - Montreal's Just for Laugh's Festival.

Every comedian worth their salt pitches up to this annual month long festival, the world's largest, eager to impress the million's of spectators.

Highlights from this, the 27th annual festival, included a spin off British Comedy Gala hosted by iconic comedy legend John Cleese. The Brit's were out in force for the gala with appearances from straight talking comedian Jimmy Carr and Good News Week favourite Ross Noble.

Plus some of Hollywood's finest comedic actors from Whoopi Goldberg to Martin Short made special appearances, picking up the mike to take a stand up turn.

And not forgetting representatives from the impressive Aussie crew including the fabulous Wil Anderson, the irreverent Jim Jefferies and seasoned comic Akmal Saleh.

Hosted by our very own Paul McDermott, this one off show featuring festival highlights postpones the inevitable Sunday night fear, replacing it with some much needed fun.
