Lots of laughs at Cracking up the Capital
by jcree on 2/11/14National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaThis was an excellent stand up comedy event, with the added bonus of the award presented to Rick Mercer at the show. The event was a fundraiser for mental health programs and for that reason, the second last comedian, a school teacher who was not very funny in any case, was completely inappropriate for this show, because his attempts at getting laughter were mostly at the expense of kids who may have been having trouble in school for any number of reasons such as ADHD, dyslexia etc.
