COMEDY SENSATION RON JAMES

8 PM Thursday, May 3A Shantero Productions Presentation

Abbotsford Arts Centre2329 Cresent Way, Abbotsford, BC

Tickets $54

With an unprecedented five television comedy specials under his belt and season three of his

CBC-TV comedy series airing Fridays at 8pm, Canada’s busiest and best-selling comedian RON

JAMES takes to the road with a new “gut-bustingly, knee-slappingly funny” 90-minute

rant. From MAC-savvy twenty-something tat-tooed techno-geeks to the mid-life angst of

whiny, aging Baby Boomers, James weaves a verbal tapestry of trademark laughs that audi-

ences and media alike have endorsed from coast to coast: “devastatingly funny” - Globe & Mail

“a high wire act of hilarity” - Edmonton Journal “utterly Brilliant” - Ottawa Sun “funniest man in

Canada” - Victoria Times-Colonist “fits of helpless laughter” - Halifax Chronicle Herald

“thunderous standing ovation” - Saskatoon Star Phoenix.

ART NOUVEAU. . . there was an art movement called Art Nouveau? Most popular during 1890 - 1920, the name Art Nouveau is french for new art. A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it was inspired by nautral forms and structures, not only in flowers and

plants but also in curved lines. The syle was inflused strongly by Czech artist

Alphonse Mucha.
