I have never been, but keep hearing how much fun it is. Sigh, I wish Ottawa had these festivals :(

Montreal gets all the good stuff :(.

I've seen those comedians on TV, boy are some of them funny. The most memorable, for me, was when David Fisher (Niles Crane from Fraiser) came up there and sang a little song and did some wicked dancing. Pablo Francisco was also hilarious.
