I had the privilege of watching these guys flex their funny muscles when they were in Winnipeg from November 17th to the 20th. As a self-proclaimed amateur comedian, I found their combined and separate talents to be awfully daunting. Just having a conversation with them either had me laughing hysterically or thinking provocatively (depending on whom I was talking to). Their combined talents make for a serious comedic force that entertains crowds on levels that they aren’t even aware of. Pat Thornton is a walking, talking punchline that can make anything outrageously and uproariously funny. Jason Derosse has a fire in his eyes and passion in his belly that let’s you know he’s very serious about the very funny. And Bob Banks is a spilly bag of brilliance, heart and hilarity. ‘Twas an honour to witness their comedic skills and chat with them on and off camera. Cheers,
Tim “Sincere Compliments” Gray
