With a billing in 2009 as big as King Kong - the 8th Wonder of World - the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival is the brainchild of Winnipeg comedian Al Rae. A Winnipeg stand-up comic and writer, Al Rae won the Just for Laughs National Homegrown Comic Competition in 2000. A writer on the CBC comedy series Little Mosque on the Prairie, Al also contributed to the sitcoms Blackfly and Big Sound (Global). He hosted two comedy information shows for CBC Radio: the finance-themed That's Capital; and the election satire Spin Off. His eight-part comedy drama series Monsoon House with Russell Peters aired on CBC Radio in 2006. Al launched the Winnipeg Comedy Festival in 2002, with longtime friend and collaborator, CBC Radio's Tom Anniko. Now in its eighth year, the festival has come to include year-round outreach programs, rural tours, workshops and television broadcasts that attract more than two million viewers annually. One of several stops on CBC Television's Canadian comedy circuit, the Winnipeg festival proudly boasts the highest ratings for CBC's comedy festival series. In 2009, the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival partnered with Frantic Films to produce five television broadcasts of the festival galas. These one-hour specials were shot live-to-tape, recording themed humour, unscripted and spontaneous audience reaction, and the magic of the moment only television can capture. The five one-hour specials present comedy performances along the following themes: - Savings & Groans - The Holiday Show - Queer As Jokes - The Deadly Seven - Cradle To Grave

Comedienne Judy Toll's parody of comic Andrew Dice Clay.

Australia's MOST WANTED comedian Chopper is back, and this time, he's brought a big pad of paper with your name on it. Some people have a shopping list. Some have a To-Do list. Chopper has a Shitlist. Because sometimes when you get angry, you have to get organised. Restaurant serves your dinner cold. Put it on the Shitlist. The word 'chillax'. Shitlist. Friend stabbed you. Shitlist. Just saw a romantic comedy you didn't like - well maybe put yourself on the shitlist for that one, what did you expect? Finding fame on Network Ten's The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, Logie and ARIA award-nominated comedian Heath Franklin has built a reputation around the world as one of Australia's funniest comics. As Chopper, his YouTube hits rank in the millions. He's performed to over 200,000 people, released two live DVDs, and toured the world. Now, he dusts of the mo', dons the sunnies and leaves no stone unstabbed in his brand new show, The (s)Hitlist. It's like Santa's naughty and nice list; but with more sack, and no one is getting toys. Everybody has a shitlist. And Chopper creates one with suggestions from the audience, in this interactive comedy slapdown, filmed live in New Zealand. So, buy this DVD. Put it on your To Do list, just above laughing your arse off. Easily the best list since Schindler's.
