Shot At the Empire [DVD] [DVD] [DVD]

Hey, it's "That Canadian Guy". You might now know the name, but you probably know the face. Glen Foster has been a top headlining comedian in Canada for over twenty years. He has performed on numerous television shows, including five appearances with "Just for Laughs", the Montreal International Comedy Festival, and his own comedy special "That Canadian Guy", which was nominated for a Gemini award for outstanding achievement in Canadian television. Recorded live at the brand new, state of the art Empire Theatre, this masterful performance combines the best of Foster's "TV stuff" with his decidedly darker, but equally hilarous observations on more recent events. With "Shot at The Empire", Foster lays down a barrage of high powered comedic commentary on the "War on Terror" and our growing culture of paranoia. Ha blasts away at everything from mosquitoes to mad cows and still has plenty of ammunition left over for his favourite targets - Canadians. What makes them tick? What ticks them off? And what makes them laugh? Foster unloads on taxes, apathy, the "armed" forces and his own personal battle with the Federal Gun Registry; all in his own unique, angry, confused, apologetic, trademark "Canadian" style. Topical, politically incorrect, and devastatingly funny, "Shot at The Empire" is "That Canadian Guy" at his crankiest curmudgeonly best! An unforgettable show... from a guy whose name you probably won't remember! Also included on this DVD: Backstage moments, traditional blues from friends Jonathan and Tim Knight, plus a selection of clips from Glen's own home video collection - Twenty years of stand up comedy (and hairstyles)!
