+oa + +o e â€"Comedian Glen Fosteri at Chaps Dorval tonight Prepare yourself Oakville. Glen Foster is coming to town. Foster has been turning the comedy world upside down for the past couple of years making a name for himself not only across the country but around the world, in particular south of the border where this past August, he finâ€" ished in the top 10 of the 19th annual San Francisco International Standâ€"Up comedy competition. Foster was one of 600 comediâ€" ans from around the world to subâ€" mit an entryâ€"video and one of just 40 to be invited to compete. In being a finalist, Foster joined a league that includes such renowned comedians as Robin Williams and Dana Carvey. "Competing in this competition has given me exposure toimporâ€" tant players in the comedy ionâ€" dustry: that I might not otherwise have had access to," said Foster, a headliner at. Yuk .Yuk‘s KomedyKabarets as well as a TV performer on shows such as Evening at the Improv and Just for Laffs. "Exposure in America is good; in Canada, it‘s just someâ€" thing you die from." Foster‘s routine prompts Canadians to laugh at themselves, despite their staid nature. He has been described as typifying the big friendly Canadian who has just snapped Foster promises he has not fallâ€" en over the edge but is teetering. He is a thinking man‘s comic whose fodder includes subjects like the Canadian justice system and multiculturalism and someâ€" thing that really irks him: political correctness. Foster even found an issue of political correctness while receiving a speeding ticket during a recent trip out west. He promises to reveal the story to audiences tonight. Foster‘s metamorphosis into a confrontational comic has made a phenomenal difference in the sucâ€" cess of his career. Canadians laugh inspite of themselves and it‘s humor that sells on the road as well, whether in Australia or England. As an aside, Foster launched his series of Politically Incorrect Tâ€"shirts â€" Shirt Disturbers which have also become big hits with Canadians, although Foster has yet to see someone walking around with one on. He is conâ€" vinced, however, that people are wearing them under their clothes and he has his own secret army of Canadian rebels. (Foster‘s most popular shirt is one that reads: My Canada includes every bitching, whining province, aboriginal, feminist, minority and special interest group." Foster will be appearing at Chaps Dorval tonight. ADITION!*" : + H HO 0O NO DOWN PAYMEN NO INTEREST Santa told us it was better to give than to receive.
