Blogging With Kerry gives great updates on Calgary’s stand-up comedy community

January 28, 2009 by vongsundara 

The backbone of the stand-up comedy world is its fans, and there is no fan out there more dedicated than the lovely Kerry Rasmussen. Kerry has become a fixture of the Calgary stand-up comedy scene with her dependable presence at Comedy Monday Night and a source of great information with her amazing comedy blog.

Kerry takes notes on all the performers during the comedy shows and writes her blog the following day. What amazes me most are Kerry’s thought-out commentary and blunt honesty. There were a few comedians who didn’t wish to be reviewed for sure, but my opinion is that if you’re going to perform (even at an open mic) then you are opening yourself up for people’s opinions, otherwise just stay at home and talk to your mirror.

Since moving away from Calgary to Toronto, I have been reading Kerry’s blogs every week, and it has made me feel good to know what’s happening in my home comedy scene. Keep up the great work Kerry!
