There's No Business Like Show Business

This is a personal appeal, faithful readers, on behalf of the truly talented member of my family, my brother Pat. You may have seen him recently at your local movie house in the trailer for the upcoming Trailer Park Boys movie, or, giving former Prime Minister Paul Martin the "headshake heard 'round the world".

An actor/comic/playwright/screenwriter/director/producer among other things (I think impresario is not too strong a word), his main, if not most profitable focus, is his sketch troupe The Sketchersons and their weekly live show Sunday Night Live.

This Sunday, the 9th, the show is marking its 100th episode (112th technically, but who's counting?) with a big show at the historic Winter Garden Theatre. For details how you might be a part of history, visit the Sketchersons' website. Guest stars will include such Canadian comedy luminaries as Colin Mochrie, Don Ferguson, and Sean Cullen - and all proceeds go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Don't delay. Act today. Tell them the Nine Inch Column sent you. It won't get you a discount, but it will make me feel like a big man.
