"It's the 'in' thing."

So, yes, WhoserCon. I got to see a whole whack of delightful comedy or improv shows in Toronto (aside from one complete bomb--false advertising), and I got to spend time with what are now becoming old friends. Not to mention the geeky thrill of walking around a big city with a bunch of weirdos wearing the same shirt and noticing the responses one gets from passersby.

These are the Canadian improv/comedy actors, most of whom I idolize, that I recognized in the shows we saw in Toronto. Tell me if you know all the names; you're just as obsessed as me, and I need someone else to accompany me to all the shows I'm seeing these days.

Andrew Bush, Peter Wilman, Kevin Frank, Melissa Ade, Aurora Browne, Jennifer Goodhue, Carolyn Taylor, David Raitt, Paul Constable, Bob Derkach, Albert Howell, Rob Hawke (from Fast & Dirty), Matt Baram, Lex Vaughn, Rebecca Northan, Peter Oldring, Herbie Barnes, Bruce Hunter, Barry from Theatresports.

Another, completely unexpected, recognized performer: I saw someone in the student show at Second City who used to perform in the local amateur theatre productions. Not exactly interesting to anyone else, but I thought it was nifty...

The title was one of two lines I was allowed to say in a game I played.
