Just for Laughs Comedy Festival Showcase at Zanies
by Julie Seabaugh
How do the names Seth Rogen, Mike Birbiglia, Tom Papa, Gabriel Iglesias, Joan Rivers, Jimmy Fallon, Bob Odenkirk, Kathy Griffin and British lightning rod Russell Brand hit ya? And how about the prospect of seeing them in one place? It's not that the boldfaced performers will be appearing on the same evening, but all are 2008 vets of July's 26th annual Just For Laughs comedy festival. Now consider Sunday an opportunity to catch the next wave of comedy superstars live, eager and nervous as hell. The best sets of the night from a crop of potential next-big-things can earn a pair of spots on the hallowed New Faces shows in Montreal, where reactions from both industry and the public have launched many a development deal, and, eventually, a career. And you'll have spotted them first.
