Vancouver Yuks/Dane Cook fallout

Here’s a link to an article that appeared last Tuesday in the Province (“Dane Cook gets the hook at Yuk Yuk’s”). The paper covers Vancouver. The article was penned by an eyewitness, journo Guy MacPherson.

The money quote(s) from Yuks CEO Mark Breslin:

“The tradition is stardom trumps everything,” said Breslin, on the phone from his home in Toronto. “It’s the novel factor and the fact that how often are these people even around? It’s too bad when someone is expecting to go on, but you’ve got to be a big boy and suck it up.”

Ouch!

Breslin is in heavy damage control mode, making super-nice with Cook and Cook’s manager. Stay tuned.
