DEREK EDWARDS - THE OTHER SHOE DROPS A 14 - CITY TOUR OF ONTARIO Tickets On Sale Monday, September 10TH!! Derek Edwards’ new one-man show, The Other Shoe Drops, is a riotously funny 90-minute ‘unguarded moment’ with a Canadian comic icon. With his unique curve ball delivery and inimitable quirky perspective, Edwards probes the Myth of Maturity ... peeling back the carpet/façade of Adult Behaviour to reveal the perfectly good hardwood floor of truth and belly laughs. A ten-year vet of the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and the only Canadian to win the prestigious Vail, Colorado, Invitational Comedy Competition, Edwards is universally considered to be among the top comics in the country. Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee and recent winner of Best Standup Comic - Canadian Comedy Awards, and by his Best Performance In A Comedy nomination at the last Geminis. Edwards’ gentle brand of humour, delivered with an ever-increasing incredulity as he delves into the oddities of everyday situations, has been showcased on A&E's Comedy Hits the Road, CTV's Comedy Now, CBC TV’s Comics (garnering him another Gemini nomination for best comedy) and CBC Radio's Madly Off In All Directions. He was also a regular guest on the Red Green Show. The most recent Just for Laughs Festival hailed Edwards as a “a virtuoso at the peak of performance”, echoing the kudos of critics across the country: “5 STARS - the funniest man on Earth” - Winnipeg Free Press; “4 STARS - a first-rate comic...the crowd howled” - Victoria Times Colonist; “one of the top comic talents in our country” - Charlottetown Guardian; “Derek Edwards is hysterical” - Calgary Sun; “Edwards takes stand-up to next stage” - Georgia Straight; “a master of the craft” - Summerside Journal-Pioneer; “the epitome of timing & storytelling” - Halifax ChronicleHerald; “the comedian’s comedian” - London Free Press. The Other Shoe Drops, more of what Derek Edwards does best ... making us laugh and laugh and laugh ...
