RON JAMES

FULL TILT

COMING TO ATLANTIC CANADA - NOVEMBER

 

With his unique poetic style and performance-driven physicality, Ron James catapults audiences everywhere to paroxysms of wheezing delight. His mastery of the comedic rant has critics from coast to coast revelling in his pyrotechnic display of wit and wisdom: "5 STARS - Utterly Brilliant" (Ottawa Sun); "fits of helpless laughter" (Halifax ChronicleHerald); "Winspear crowd in hysterics" (Edmonton Journal); "convulsed with laughter" (Toronto Star); "funniest man in Canada" (Victoria Times-Colonist); "4 STARS - a wheezing, snorting, chortling, gasping night of hilarity" (Edmonton Sun); "a comedic tour de force" (Globe & Mail); "a gut-bustingly, knee-slappingly funny man" (Ottawa Citizen); "members of the audience all around me were choking and wheezing in delight" (Halifax Daily News); "fast, funny and smart" (Montreal Gazette); "4-½ STARS - closest thing we’ve produced on stage to a Robin Williams" (Toronto Sun).

So, strap in tight as Canada’s number one selling comedian goes FULL TILT in a new rocket-fuelled rant that runs the gamut on everything from the vacuous pinheads of celebrity culture, to the disappearing Seven-Toed Lemurs of Madagascar! Be it roasting politicians, skewering the sanctimonious totems of political correctness, or trying his darndest to make sense of the media overkill and their doomsday hype, he has something for everyone. As a self-proclaimed ‘equal opportunity slagger’, James takes on the left, the right and all points in between ... a ‘high wire act of hilarity’ familiar to all who have experienced it LIVE, or watched his critically acclaimed comedy specials: Up & Down In Shakey Town, The Road Between My Ears, Quest for the West and West Coast Wild. His newest special, Back Home, filmed in Halifax, will air nation-wide on CBC-TV December 31. However, LIVE is where his comedy sings the loudest ... a kinetically charged, pedal-to-the-metal FULL TILT ride.
