Just for Laughs in Photos Wednesday July 27

Just for laughs in photos

We’ve been here all week, but the real rush of the comedy superstars smashed into Montreal at full force today and you can’t throw a rock without hitting someone funny.

Wednesday, we watched comedy’s New Faces erupt at Montreal’s oldest theater- Monument National, showing off the next wave in comedy, and later checked out the biggest stars fill the room at the hottest ticket in town as Comedy Central taped the first episode of Roast Battle- (you can watch it Thursday night). At 2am, we stumbled into the Netflix party which was jam packed and spilling onto the balcony. We shared poutine with the funniest people in America and managed to get a few photos along the way.

The crowd at the Netflix Party at 2am, still going strong despite that all the Schwartz’s smoked meats were long gone, and the poutine was down to scraps.  Somehow we saw Rich Vos manage to get one of the last bowls of fries.

Before grabbing the last bowl of poutine, Rich Vos posed for a photo with Roast Battle combatant Chris Cubas out in front of the Hyatt.

Christine Marie Evans, Bert Kreischer and Big Jay Oakerson led us to the secret elevator up to the Netflix party. Jay did warm up at the Roast Battle, and may have had the most shocking, despicable, hilarious joke of the night. And Happy Birthday Christine!
