RON JAMES - MENTAL AS ANYTHING Touring Select Theatres in Ontario TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23!! With an unprecedented five television comedy specials under his belt and a new CBC-TV comedy series airing Fridays at 8pm, Canada’s busiest and best-selling comedian RON JAMES takes to the road with a new "gut-bustingly, knee-slappingly funny" 90-minute rant MENTAL AS ANYTHING. Whether wrestling with society’s accelerated rate of change, stumbling on nostril drooling bull moose during forest hikes, or experiencing the virtues of backyard composting and its promise of immortality, James brings a ‘foot soldier’s perspective from the trenches’ in our collective march through Life’s bright fury. Incorporating a passionate love of language, with a physically charged word-perfect delivery, James takes the audience on a roller coaster ride of seat-soaking laughs: "a comedic tour de force" - Globe & Mail; "5 STARS - Utterly Brilliant" - Ottawa Sun; "fits of helpless laughter" - Halifax Chronicle Herald; "funniest man in Canada" - Victoria Times-Colonist; "4 STARS - a wheezing, snorting, chortling, gasping night of hilarity" - Edmonton Sun; "convulsed with laughter" - Toronto Star; "fast, funny and smart" - Montreal Gazette; "thunderous standing ovation" - Saskatoon Star Phoenix. From camping in leaky canvas-walled tent trailers in that idyllic summer of 1969 … to a man at the crossroads of mid-life, James traces a trajectory across the landscape of contemporary culture, satirizing everything from button-down-rule-righteous life insurance agents to sanctimonious eco-freaks ... just ‘connecting the dots’ while trying his best to clarify the chaos of this new century we’re all walking through before he goes Mental As Anything himself! Reserved seating tickets for RON JAMES - Mental As Anything - are $49.00 to $56.00 (depending on local facility charges; additional service charges may apply), go on sale Monday, Nov. 23, and are available from the box offices listed below. Showtime is 8pm. For more info, pics and comedy clips, visit www.shantero.com or www.ronjames.ca.
