janeane did and amazing job at Yuk Yuks last night. Unlike most American performers, she did her whole set about Canadian news. It's rare to see a Canuck do that much about Canadian politics, let alone an American whose been in town just a few days. Guy MacPhearson complains about her shows all the time, wanting her to be more polished, but what she does it the most fearless thing, allowing us to watch the creative process in front of our very eyes. And she in no way pander to Canada, as she pointed out Harper's being in support of Bush. It's not the style of comedy I would feel comfortable doing, but I was very impressed and entertained by her. And she bummed me one of her cigarettes, an "English Oval".
