Masters and New Faces at Montreal

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 21st, 2009

This weekend, The Masters showcases at the Festival Just For Laughs will feature:

Ed Byrne
Godfrey
Kevin Brennan
Christian Finnegan
David Feldman
Rich Vos
Mike MacRae

We’re not there this year, as you may have guessed. We didn’t go last year either. We went for nine years straight and developed a case of Fest-igue. (We spent a good chunk of our discretionary funds on a nine-day adventure vacation to The Big Island… plus we’re going to BlogWorldExpo in October.)

And Just For Laughs will present New Faces tonight, tomorrow and Thursday night.

Eleanor Tiernan
Andrew Lawrence
Alex Koll
Andy Ritchie
Chris D’Elia
Dan Adhoot
Duncan Trussell
Erik Krug
Kumail Nanjiani
Mary Mack
Matt Knudsen
Myq Kaplan
Mike Bridentstein
Moshe Kasher
Pete Holmes
Renee Gaulthier
Rory Scovel

Tuesday? Has the New Faces showcase lost its luster? Who’s in town on Tuesday? Perhaps it’s a warmup. A way to head off any of the meltdowns that have plagued the festival rookies in the past.

Our advice: Drink plenty of water and don’t forget to eat.
