Another Comedy Spotlight coming soon!













Kathleen McGee:


Another devastating loss to the Canadian Comedy Community!

RIP young lady, you were a shooting star in Canadian Comedy,,,

A celebration of life TBA

My condolences to her family and friends. God Bless...


Hello friends,

It's been a blast!

It's been the best

It's been the worst

In the future, present

For me now in the past.

I loved you all

.....mostly all

But my love is undying

And to, my forgiveness

Even to those who had hurt me.

I know I fought some fights with vigor and passion

Those ones meant a lot to me because they involved you and yours

The ones that thought of me and cared to talk,

Not only on my brightest days

But on the ones, that were not

I'll miss you lots, and lots

And I know you will miss me too

So think of me often, but only happy thoughts.

It's time for me to go now. Many questions have been answered, and many still not.

I leave you tonight with one more,

Question open-hearted,

"Who farted?"

Kathleen Eleanor McGee

April 5th 1981 - November 3rd 2024

I first met Paul Adams through his father, comedy writer Charlie Adams. Charlie was the first UK comic on The Comedy Green Room. Charlie suggested I check out his son, stand-up comic Paul Adams.


We hit it off and Paul was invited to perform at The HogTown Comedy Festival (TM) in Toronto ON Canada. Paul decided to move to Toronto and performed in comedy clubs and bars throughout Canada and the USA for about 2 years. Paul's clean and funny comedy style was a refreshing change to the Toronto Comedy Community from 2004 to 2006.


Mr. Paul Adams new book Diary of a Locked Down Comedian is a funny, charming, and insightful look into his pandemic experience. Check it out!
