Are you going to Just For Laughs?

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on May 19th, 2006

The WWW’s most beloved magazine about standup comedy fully intends to head to Montreal for the EIGHTH YEAR IN A ROW to bring you, our readers, the most fascinating, detailed, exciting and cantankerous coverage of the world’s largest comedy festival– Just For Laughs!

Is it that time already? Of course! If our plan comes to fruition, we will arrive in Montreal sometime around mid-day on Wednesday, July 19th. We’ll begin updating shortly after we rise on the 20th and we’ll provide you with four days of photos, text, observations, name-dropping and beer-soaked commentary– all that you’ve come to know, love and expect from SHECKYmagazine’s annual trek up north!

We have a question: Why haven’t you, our readers, attended? If you have always wanted to attend this sprawling comedy blowout, this may be the year! Hop onto the JFL website and check out the roster that is scheduled for 2006! (There’s a startling number of comedians slated for this summer’s fest– and the full sked isn’t even up yet!) Imagine yourself holding a Labatt’s at the Bar at the Delta, recapping the recently concluded evening of standup when, who walks not two feet away but– Drew Carey! Or Craig Ferguson! Or… three transvestites from New Zealand! You get the picture! (Or, Brian McKim and Traci Skene, editors and publishers of SHECKYmagazine, looking over their shoulder as they try to avoid someone they’ve pissed off via their snarky festival coverage!)

Well, just click on that banner above (the green one at the top of this column!) and you’ll be whisked to the page that spells out just how easy and affordable it is to book a package that will have you guffawing in Canada in July, seeing your comedy idols perform and staying at one of the many fine hotels. PLEASE tell them that SHECKYmagazine sent you and you’ll have a choice of a fine premium or a DISCOUNT!
