The always ebullient and erudite Cape Breton born, Toronto based comedian Ron James is excited to return to Lethbridge for two shows at the Yates Theatre, Nov. 22 and 23.
“ I’m doing Jim Dandy, I spent October in Nova Scotia ,” enthused James from Toronto, where the first snow of winter is falling.
He is excited to be “Back Where I Belong”— on the road making people laugh all across Canada “from Cornerbrook to Courtney -Comox.”
He always enjoys performing in Lethbridge.
“ I love Southern Alberta. I’ve been to Waterton and the hoodoos, Writing on Stone Provincial Park. Audiences always come to laugh,” he said.
“ The last time I was here was 2018, I think and I heard the Yates theatre had just been renovated. And a lot has happened since then,” James observed.
He kept busy during the pandemic doing a few online shows, working on a couple of television shows and completing his book.“All Over the Map.”
“I had to keep the muscle I’ve spent the last 25 years building and strengthening from travelling from Cornerbrook to Courtney-Comox, from atrophying,” he said.
The paperback edition of Ron James’ best selling new book “All Over the Map” was just released on Nov. 1. The hardcover version was released last October and has done well.
“It was in the Top 50 between Steve Martin and Jerry Seinfeld,” he said.
