Just for Laughs Presents Sugar Sammy Cross-Canada - February and March

[metal2000]

The Just for Laughs people are sponsoring a soft-seat tour by Sugar Sammy, beginning in Winnipeg on February 5th and ending February 21st in Ottawa (though the site lists a show in Montreal on March 12th as part of the tour).

I've never actually seen him live yet, though I did interview him a little over a year ago. I'm finally going to this show, and will be doing a follow-up interview with him. Anyone familiar with his stand-up? Like/dislike him? Have any suggestions for questions to ask him?

Anyway, here are the dates:

I've seen him a bunch of times (not by choice) and he's got a few good bits. Some of it is Russel Peters version 2.1 and A LOT of it is misogynistic that I really can't stomach.

He's a nice guy off stage so you shouldn't have a problem with the interview. He's a good self-promoter so it's no surprise he's been able to get this tour set up with JFL. (a festival that obsesses with promoting any comedy that can be classified as multi cutural)
