They handed out the 2006 Canadian Comedy Awards (They call their awards “Beavers!”) last night in London (Ontario, ya hoser!), according to an article in the London Free Press.
Pete Zedlacher and Laurie Elliot took the Beavers as best male and female stand-up comic, respectively, while Jon Dore drew the best newcomer prize. His win ranked as ironic since Dore, 30, has been doing professional stand-up routines for nine years and spent three seasons as the resident comic on the Canadian Idol series.
They also gave Mike McDonald a genius award. Thanks to Simon Rakoff for the alert!
