Tickets went on sale last week for Ron James and his Mental as Anything tour that is coming to the Centre in the Square on March 5.
With an unprecedented five television comedy specials under his belt and a new CBC-TV comedy series airing Fridays at 8pm, Canada’s busiest and best-selling comedian is taking to the road with a new 90-minute rant.
Whether wrestling with society’s accelerated rate of change, stumbling on nostril drooling bull moose during forest hikes, or experiencing the virtues of backyard composting and its promise of immortality, James brings a foot soldier’s perspective from the trenches in the collective march through life’s bright fury.
Incorporating a passionate love of language James takes the audience on a ride laughs. From camping in leaky canvas walled tent to a man at the crossroads of mid-life, James traces the landscape of contemporary culture, satirizing everything from button-down-rule-righteous life insurance agents to sanctimonious eco-freaks.
