 David Pryde began referring to himself in the third person in 1997, shortly after earning a journalism degree in Halifax. During an in-depth investigative piece on post-grad unemployment David discovered stand-up, which he found refreshingly different from journalism in every way save the microphone and filtered point of view. After returning to his hometown of Montreal, David turned heads in 1999 when he won the first prize at the Comedy Night in Canada Competition at the Just for Laughs Festival. The slight bump in notoriety made David prone to brief, ego-centric spasms of speaking in the first person, which he now has relatively under control, but I digress. |

 If you’ve ever wondered what life would be like if a type-A, high strung, alpha male wound up raising three daughters, then look no further than a night of informative comedy with Eric McMahon. You will understand the struggle of trying to keep a marriage “blissful” after 20 years, trying to keep the high school boys away from his daughters and protecting their innocence, and dealing with an aging body that simply doesn’t function like the well oiled machine it used to be. |

 The first time I ever stepped into a Comedy Club it was to perform at an open mic. The Comedy Underground in Seattle Washington.. I saw a woman bomb horribly and told myself “No one in this room can beat me playing basketball, so I don’t care if I bomb” I didn’t. I told a made up story about a scene in a movie called Betrayed. I got invited to audition for the Seattle Comedy Competition the very next night. That was in October of 1989. My “ Amour Fou” with stand up has gotten me ran out of Seattle, LA, and the whole country of Canada. Kicked off of a USO Tour. Fired, Booed, told by a Cruise Director that I was “Horrible.. Not funny in anyway or shape.” If comedy was a woman and rejected me that much. Only Hell and My Space would have room for the stalker I’d become. My soul wants to have an impact on humanity. My mind and body have chosen stand up as its vehicle.
