Benji Crellin!
I saw this guy at the Victoria Fringe and he's fantastic! Make time to go see him all:
@WITSEND
Wit from the other end of the world. Standup comic Benjamin Crellin makes the most of the similarities between Canada and his homeland of New Zealand, "or the Shire, as you probably know it". There's our shared horror of the United States and its current president, who poses unique problems for a standup comic: "How do you mock someone who speaks in punch lines?" In a freewheeling one-hour set, Crellin takes on politics, the Internet, kids' toys, Christmas ("the time of year when everyone comes together to realize why they live apart"), and a whole lot else that's wrong with our world. He's very funny, often irreverent, and extremely skilled at working the audience. Go. Laugh. Enjoy. At Stage 3, Elliott Louis Gallery, on September 10 (10:15 p.m.), 11 (2 p.m.), 15 (7:30 p.m.), 17 (6:15 p.m.), 18 (1 p.m.), and 19 (9 p.m.)
Not only does he have a cool accent, he says cool things with it! You'll laugh yourself silly, especially if you like not so G-rated humour. I'm thinking of coming to Vancouver for a night just to see him again!
Luvs,
