Last night, Greg Morton performed at the Class Act Dinner Theatre in Whitby Ontario with a couple of close friends. Glenn Ottaway and David Merry.   Actor, Director and Entertainer Glenn Ottaway is a 25 year veteran of the business and someone I have known for at least 20 of those 25.  It was great to see him again and catch up on old times.  Before the show we laughed about one of our more memorable gigs we had worked together in Oshawa, with another comedian friend of ours; Mike Bullard.  I was being heckled, mercilessly, by a female patron when Mike threw her over his shoulder and physically carried her out of the bar.

Later the audience was then given a taste of the rapid fire comedy  and magic of David Merry!  David and I go way back.  He was one of the first performers I’d seen on stage at a London Yuk Yuks and was my primary inspiration for getting into the business.  David and I recently performed together in both Atlantic City and Las Vegas, so this was a real reunion for us.

Speaking of Vegas, a couple who had previously seen me at the The Comedy Stop at the Trop in Las Vegas, drove two hours from Burlington to see the show.  I want to send a special shout out to all the people who came out to the show last night.

I spoke with David Merry this morning and he told me that he had a lot of positive feedback from last night’s show.  People stood up at the end!  “They all commented on how it was one of the funniest shows they had ever seen.”

It was a pleasure meeting and chatting with everyone afterward, and it made me realize that I have a new stage that I can now call home.  It’s called the Class Act Dinner Theatre.

If you’d like to see David Merry, don’t miss his David Merry Christmas Special, featuring John Pattison and Friends!  Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2011. at the Class Act Dinner Theatre.  I know John Pattison and trust me, this is a show you don’t want to miss!

You can’t watch a movie on your @$#%! phone! I said it before and I’ll say it again.

When I performed at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival this past year, my monologue was all about superheroes. One of the jokes was about watching movies on your phone. I saw this ad in the city square which said, watch Spiderman 3 on your cel phone. I’ve always felt that this was ridiculous, and now I’ve finally found someone who agrees with me. Director and Film Maker, David Lynch!

Watch this hilarious video. I don’t think I can say it any better. You can’t watch a movie on your @$#%! phone. Unless the movie is Valentines Day. Then it doesn’t matter.
