Danny Bhoy: Song And Dance Man

One Man Show Dept: Carr delivers his zingers with machine-gun-like rapidity and invariably connects. And if you couldn't get enough of Carr's one-liners at a clip of three-a-minute in a 10-minute set at past Just for Laughs, you had best prepare yourself to split a gut with the news that the Brit wit will be bringing his 75-minute oneman show Laughter Therapy to this summer's fest, July 21 to 30, at 9: 30 p.m. at the Ges Theatre. That works out to more than 200 jokes, and that's some kind of bang for your buck, with tickets costing $32.50, according to Montreal Gazette. Back in Britain, Carr has managed to contain his enthusiasm for the upcoming Royal nuptials of Kate Middleton and Prince William and jimmy Carr is a throwback to another era: 1940s and '50s. He looks like slickeddown song-and-dance man Gene Kelly with a dollop of Pee-wee Herman. He sounds like an upper-crust British version of Henny Youngman, although his one-liners have more the acidity of Rodney Dangerfield with the surreal smarts of Steven Wright. The festival probably will be doubling audience pleasure at the Ges . Also performing his new one-man show, Wanderlust, will be another fest fave, Scottish comic Danny Bhoy, who will unwind July 21 to 30 at 7 p.m. As reported in the news.
