Yuk Yuk’s Great Canadian Laugh-Off [EVENTS]

*UPDATE: Thanks to my homegirl Fatima for allowing me to judge this event, it was a great time. Anyone looking for some laughs, whether by laughing at jokes by some really talented comedians, or just laughing at the joke that is some really bad comedians, hit up Yuk Yuk's. Also, congrats to Boston's Tom Dustin for winning this thing. 25K in the bank...I'd like my cut in 5 days...I have paypal!

Do you like to laugh? Oh, you don't? Well...umm...Xanax? If the answer was actually a resounding "yes" then you'd be interested in checking out Yuk Yuk’s Great Canadian Laugh-Off. The competition which kicks off tonight brings to together pro's and amateurs from across the country, continent, and globe alike for a shot at 25K and the bragging rights which will undoubtedly ruin or make their career. Yours truly will be on hand to judge the pre-lim competition round on Wednesday March 24th (who is rolling with me?) at the downtown Toronto Yuk Yuk's location. The finals are set for Sunday March 28th, where the comedic champion will be crowned.

The Warner Bros. comedy "The Hangover" drew larger audiences than earlier projected to raise its weekend ticket sales to $45 million, about $1.8 million more than the studio estimated Sunday.

That made it the No. 1 draw for the weekend instead of Disney and Pixar Animation's "Up," which came in second with $44.1 million. Sunday studio estimates had "Up" edging "The Hangover" by about $1 million.
