Just For Laughs: Getting Loud and Going Ethnic with Orny Adams

C

omedian Orny Adams has been performing at Just For Laughs off and on for nearly 20 years, whether it be doing solo shows, or being part of a line-up of a club series or gala (in fact, he calls Montreal his “summer home”).

raeli flag is shown behind me.That’s more of a political statement. They should have put a picture of a dreidel or a menorah behind me. What’s going on here?!?,” he said during a recent phone interview. …But we’ll get back to that a little bit later.

Adams will be performing as a special guest at the Ethnic Show, which has been a long time staple of Just For Laughs’ Club Series, and will run from July 11 to 26 at both Club Soda and MTelus.

Joining him on this United Nations of comedy are Gina Brillon, Arthur Simeon, Matteo Lane, Francisco Lane and veteran Ethnic Show host Maz Jobrani.

DEDICATION • DEVOTION • DETERMINATION

ney in 1996, and a development deal from Warner Brothers as a result from his performance at Just For Laughs four years later, helped to increase Orny’s presence in the comedy spotlight. It led to being featured on the documentary “Jerry Seinfeld: Comedian”, appearances on the late night talk show circuit (especially Jay Leno, David Letterman and Conan O’Brien), three solo stand-up comedy specials (including his most recent special, “Orny Adams: More Than Loud”, which aired on Showtime), and a recurring role as Coach Bobby Finstock on the MTV series “Teen Wolf”.

However, when you see Adams in his natural habitat on the stand-up comedy stage, you see an individual who appears to be rather stressed and harried, as he loudly spews out a whole series of issues, concerns and things that he sees are wrong with the world today, in which his audiences react with a great deal of laughter … and understanding.

“When I’m onstage, I tell them about the experiences I go through that happen to people every day, yet they don’t understand the absurdities that go with it. They are subjects that not only people can relate to, but needs to be talked about,” he admits. “I am not a divisive person. Through my comedy, I prove how we are more similar than dissimilar. In a way, I am you, but an angry version of you at a more heightened level.

And people should be angry at the world’s absurdities, whether they want to admit it or not.”

As for being the Jewish representative at this year’s Ethnic Show, Orny

www.mtltimes.ca

admits he is more of a Jewish-centric comic. “My mind works in a Jewish way. I sound like the people in my family, yet doing comedy like an old-fashioned, Borscht Belt-style Yiddish–speaking person is not my thing,” he said.

“And I have a lot of favorite comics, yet it’s weird that many of those comics that I idolize I can’t talk about anymore, such as Woody Allen,” he added. “However, I find that the late Alan King was the quintessential Jewish comic. His ‘survived by his wife’ routine should be taught at the highest levels of comedy education, especially how he interacted with the audience, and how he speeded up his voice with each audience member he spoke with and cut them off with the ‘survived by his wife’ catchphrase.”

Beyond the Ethnic Show, Orny will continue to tour with his stand-up act, will shoot another

stand-up special next year, and has several TV projects in the works. However, Orny gets a little philosophical when it comes to how far he has gone in the world of comedy, and where he is now in that world.

“At the end of the day, what does it really matter? I want people show up at the Ethnic Show to have a wonderful experience. The line-up is filled with heavy hitters and it’s a really good show to see.

In fact, it should be packaged and made into a tour,“ he said. “As for me, I always enjoy the challenge of performing new material. And wouldn’t it be great if I can do something different, whether it be telling longer stories onstage or change my comic rhythm?”

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," says an ancient phrase whose origin is disputed, although it seems to have been written first in Greek in the 3rd century. Even long before that reference, the notion that beauty (as well as other values such as goodness or virtue) was a subjective concept resonated in the teachings of the Sophists. Protagoras, for instance, said that "man is the measure of all things."

Of course Socrates, in the dialogue Hippias Major, contradicts and indeed destroys the Sophist view, but the idea that beauty is subjective remains very prevalent until today.

Nowhere subjectivity is more present than in the

A year after all the debate about the maligned pieces, they have been vindicated—sort of. "On June 9, 2018, two Quebec firms Civiliti and Julie Margot Design won a prestigious award from the Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) during its annual gala held in Minneapolis," reads a press release from V2com, a website specialized in publishing information on design and architecture.

"Their project, Escales découvertes (Discovery Halts), was selected for an Honour Award among

353 entries submitted from numerous countries around the world. The scheme combines landscape architecture, wayfinding and poetry, adding a subtle layer to the much-celebrated Mount-Royal Park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 19th century" continues the bulletin.

So far it seems a reasonable justification of the questioned public art pieces, which concludes adding that "The conical place-markers, clustered in groups of two or three, vary in size, some as small as stepping-stones, others large enough to sit or lean on. With their bronze inscriptions, they provide

Free Report Reveals How to Avoid Getting Stuck Owning Two Homes

MONTREAL - West Island - Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first.You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It's what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it's an extremely anxious position to find yourself in.

This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn't sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you never get caught in the Real Estate • June 30, 2018

clues to the more intimate characteristics of the mountain's historical and natural features such as notable rock formations, prairies, the traces of a now-buried river or a vanished ski slope.

Twenty-five of these granite cones clusters were initially planned for the project."

Well, next time you visit Mount Royal or some of the other sites (in Outremont and Westmount) where the stumps were placed, perhaps a revision of previous preconceptions about these pieces will be in order. And maybe, the old saying, based on the Sophist subjectivist view, could have some foundation after all.

Catch 22. Before you hire any professional, you should research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you'll find that most agents simply cannot make such a guarantee.

To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled "How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes".

4. Safety and Security This is a common reason why families consider a move.They noticed that their loved ones are not as sure on their feet as they used to be or their eyesight is less clear, causing them to be a fall risk.

According to the Canadian Public Health Agency, falls remain the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among Canadian seniors.

5. Loneliness It’s normal for activity to decrease with age. But if your loved one once enjoyed spending time in the yard gardening, or simply being with friends, and then chooses to no longer engage in these activities, or rarely leaves the house, it may be time to consider a senior living residence. This is a sign that behavioral changes are underway.

Helping your loved ones to recognize the signs of when it is time to move, having an open dialogue with the family members involved and taking the time to discuss the options will go a long way in making the transition to senior care residence more agreeable for everyone.

year. According to the Sûreté du Québec, even though the number of dangerous crashes have seen somewhat of a decline in recent years, a steady increase in the deaths from these acci-

dents have been on the rise.

This summer could prove to be a deadly one for drivers, if heed is not taken towards better and safer driving practices. According to a June 22nd press release by the CAA-Quebec Foundation, every year an average of 100 people die on Quebec roads during the 75 days between the Saint-Jean-Baptiste holiday and Labour Day. In 2017 it did not get better, but actually got worse in some ways according to data from the SAAQ (Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec): - 92 people died in 88 collisions, representing 26% of all the 359 deaths of 2017.

- There was a 4% increase in the number of fatal collisions, compared with the average of 85 deaths in the five years prior.

- An average 27% of fatal crashes occurred during a period that represented 20% of the year.According to Marco Harrison, Director of the CAA-Quebec Foundation, beside speed and fatigue at the wheel when we look more

closely at the causes of accidents during this period, distracted driving clearly stands out. “A cellphone, infotainment system, food or even a passenger... it doesn’t matter. Distraction doesn’t discriminate, and the risk of an accident is real,” he said.

And unfortunately it is young drivers who form a disproportionately large percentage in road safety statistics. Alcohol is an issue, but distracted driving followed by speed and fatigue are also leading causes of accidents in the summer.

Here are some facts that were listed: - At 100 km/h, our field of vision is reduced by 50%.

- An impact at 50 km/h is equivalent to a fall from four storeys. At 100 km/h, it’s equivalent to a fall from 14 storeys.

- Over a distance of 20 km, driving at 110 km/h instead of 90 km/h saves barely two minutes.

- You can’t shake off fatigue; your body decides.

Cracking open the window or drinking an energy drink doesn’t help much. The only thing that

14.75/

works is taking a break.

- A 15 to 30 minute stop can make all the difference. In some cases, you just have to give up on the idea of driving.

- One in five fatal accidents occurs at night.

- Going 24 hours without sleep is equivalent to having a blood alcohol level of 0.10.

In the Sûreté du Québec’s annual report for 2017 released last January, driver distraction, including cell phone use, was involved in close to 10% of fatal collisions surpassing the 9% mark of driving while impaired.

"We're realizing that distracted driving is about a lot more than just using a phone," SQ spokesperson Lt. Jason Allard had said in a CTV report.

"People are reading books, they're playing on their GPS's, they're playing with their dash, sometimes not knowing how their car actually works, trying to find the cruise control. There's all kinds of things that can distract you when you're driving a vehicle."

Distracted driving, especially cell phone use, has

become the number two reason for fatal collisions in the province - with speeding being number one. It is not only a major concern with young drivers, it also a big problem with adults. Addiction to the devices is causing people to put aside all logic and rationale, disregarding its clear and potentially fatal danger.

With the new changes to the Highway Safety Code coming into effect on June 30th, the fines for using a cell phone while driving will be far more significant: the minimum fine will now be $300 instead of $80, and the maximum will be $600 instead of $100, with five demerit points and an immediate license suspension for up to 30 days, depending on whether it is a repeat offence within a two year period.

But the question remains, will it be enough for logic to prevail - or will it take one too many tragic deaths for drivers who break the law to come to their senses?

“Rad Dads!” show set to invade OFF-JFL

A

s I met up with local comics – and recent first time fathers – Walter J. Lyng and Reese Turner at a pub on Monkland Avenue to discuss their upcoming show “Rad Dads!”, which will be part of the OFF-JFL line-up at Café Cleopatra for one performance only on July 19 at 9 p.m., the first topics of conversation didn’t concern their show, but subjects that rad dads like them would talk about, such as composting, recycling, Kevin Spacey movies and why 1970s pop star Gary Glitter is not a rad dad.

“The show is going to be a slightly more accessible – and slightly insane -look at the continuing adventures at what it’s like to be a ‘rad dad’,” said Turner.

“And there will be plenty of no B.S. material of what it’s like to be a first time dad … and all of it will be rad,” added Lyng.

Lyng, a veteran of the Montreal comedy scene for the past 10 years, and Turner, a native of Mississauga, Ontario who has been performing at Montreal clubs since 2014 (and has performed at a number of comedy festivals, including JFL42 in Toronto), came up with the idea of “Rad Dads!” while they were attending the same pre-natal classes with their wives (and their children were born eight days apart). “We originally wanted to start a birth coaching service and call it the ‘Dude-las’,” said Lyng.

aging, especially for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).

“There are people who not only dread getting a cancer diagnosis, but also dread the treatments that go with it,” said Dr. Sleiman in a recent phone interview. “TNBC affects 15 to 20 percent of cancer patients that take women at a young age, yet there is no target therapy for it.”

Through the next 1 ½ to two years, Dr. Sleiman plans to utilize the fellowship, funds to continue her work in developing structures that are made from molecular DNA that will deliver chemotherapy drugs to cancer cells without affecting normal cells, This will be done through biodegradable, non-toxic capsules that are going to be filled with that vital medication that will respond exclusively to those tumours in question. The goal is to eliminate the highly toxic side effects of chemotherapy treatments, bypass any drug resistance and greatly improve the quality of life for TNBC patients.

“Once we go through the clinical trials for these capsules, we will extend it towards different types of therapy and develop different types of resistance, and how it can be extended towards treating other types of cancer, because each cancer is a different disease. This is going to be very promising, yet difficult work in the years ahead,” said Dr. Sleiman.

of Montreal's designated artistic quarter. This year the festival is humorously billing itself as a worldwide musical journey "with no jet lag" - a fitting description given its scope with 700 artists from 30 countries and 125 concerts + activities packed into 13 nights & days of fun-filled music and dance.

The whole concept of a world music festival is to bring new currents of music and expression to a broad cross-section of the population while spotlighting emerging artists along with top performers on the international scene. By the same token, this opens up new musical vistas for music buffs who are always looking to expand their musical horizons.

Journalist and presenter Herby Moreau is thrilled to be the official ambassador of the Montreal festival which has become the greatest gathering place for world music on the planet.

"Thanks to Nuits D'Afrique, I can reach the other end of the world in the course of a festival," he says. In a cosmopolitan city that never sleeps Moreau is right on the mark when he says that Nuits D'Afrique is the "true face of today's Montréal."

The concert lasted just over two hours and she nailed every song. The 52 year old Country Super Star sounded amazing.

Song after song the crowd was dancing on their feet singing along. At one point in the show Shania yelled out, “Montreal you guys are awesomely load!”

Shania also did a tribute and thanked all the men and women who serve in the Armed Forces. She was sitting on a guitar case and lifted to a smaller stage at the other end of the arena while she sang, “Your Still the One!” A surprise to the fans was WWE Superstar wrestler Kevin Owens was in the house and was waving a sign that said “I love you Shania!” Shania noticed the sign and asked Kevin to escort her back

Shania entered the Bell Centre in the middle of the Reds section (115) at 9:05 P.M. All of a sudden spot lights shinned on the entrance and there Shania was in a glitter dress and cowboy hat. As she made her way to the stage her Montreal fans sure let her know how much they were looking forward to her show with a standing ovation. It was electric inside the Bell Centre. It sounded like the Canadiens had just won the Stanley Cup. Shania made her way through the crowd with security all around her, making sure to wave at everyone.

W

e know that medicine can save lives. That is not in question here. It is just that there are perhaps too many choices out there and conflicts can occur. Marketing is a powerful tool. We are inundated with ads and unfortunately believe too much of what we hear. If you have become ‘allergic’ to the sun, at least understand the ‘how’s and the ‘why’s’ of your sensitivity. If you are taking medications, there may be an interference.

If you wear commercial sunscreen make sure it is safe. It may be making it worse rather than serving as protection. If you wish to reduce the amount of ‘foreign invaders’ in your life, at least consider natural oils and zinc to help protect your skin. Wear proper clothing and sunhats and respect the rays. You do have some control. You can do something about it. You might like to read our article, 'Less Pink With Zinc' to learn about more natural weather protection skin care.

“A phototoxic means the drug reacts to sunlight. In phototoxic reactions, the drug may become activated by exposure to sunlight and cause damage to the skin.

The skin's appearance resembles sunburn, and the process is generally acute (has a fast onset). Ultravi-

olet A (UVA) radiation is most commonly associated with phototoxicity, but ultraviolet B (UVB) and visible light may also contribute to this reaction. A phototoxic reaction typically clears up once the drug is discontinued and has been cleared from the body, even after re-exposure to light. **In photoallergic reactions, the ultraviolet exposure changes the structure of the drug so that it is seen by the body's immune system as an invader (antigen). The immune system initiates an allergic response and causes inflammation of the skin in the sun-exposed areas. These usually resemble eczema and are generally chronic (long-lasting). Many drugs in this family are topical drugs.This type of photosensitivity may recur after sun exposure even after the drug has cleared from the system.

I

n 1922, legendary comedian W.C. Fields had this to say about fellow comedian and vaudevillian (and Ziegfeld Follies co-star) Bert Williams when he passed away that year: “He was the funniest man I ever saw, and was the saddest man I ever met”.

Those remarks that was uttered by Fields nearly a century ago about Bert Williams can ironically be

all, that of the visiting alien from the planet Ork on the ABC hit sitcom “Mork and Mindy”.

Yet through all those memorable performances – and a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for “Good Will Hunting” – Robin Williams lived a life that was filled with so much emotional and physical pain, whether it be endless self-doubt, a constant drubbing from critics, drug addiction and alcoholism, and finally, a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia – a severe degenerative neurological disease – that compelled him to take his own life in August of 2014 at the age of 63.

man and yet so very human. But I don’t think he ever felt he was anything special.”

With the massive biography Robin by New York Times cultural reporter David Itzkoff, we finally get to crack that eggshell to discover the human and superhuman sides to the man who gave us Mork from Ork, Adrian Cronauer, John Keating and the Genie, with all the sadness and complexities that went with it.

To put it succinctly, Itzkoff has done an tremendous job of giving his many fans a much clearer picture of the public and private Robin Williams through contemporary press accounts and reviews, and countless interviews with friends, colleagues (within the comedy and film communities), surviving family members, as well as introspective interviews that Williams conducted with the press throughout his lifetime. The end result is probably one of the most deep biographical treatments of the comedian as tragic figure since Albert Goldman’s “Ladies and Gentlemen … Lenny Bruce!” and Bob Woodward’s John Belushi biography “Wired”.

Born a chlld of privilege (his father was a highranking executive at the Ford Motor Company), Williams decided early in

life that a career in show business (particularly in comedy) was more preferable than being a lawyer. Through his studies at the prestigious Julliard School in New York (in which one of his classmates was the late Christopher Reeve), and then paying his dues as a street mime in San Francisco and as a manic, free form stand-up comic who became a must-see at the legendary Comedy Store (rainbow suspenders and all).

But it was in 1978 that Williams’ manic style of comedy made him a star: first in a guest shot as Mork in an episode of Happy Days called “My Favorite Orkan”, and then expanding the role that fall on the series “Mork and Mindy”, which he dominated until its run ended in 1982.

What Itzkoff argues is that the key reason Robin Williams became such a comedy superstar on “Mork and Mindy” and later in many of his best known starring movie roles was that the directors he worked with (especially Barry Levinson and Chris Columbus) gave him the necessary breath-

ing room to allow him to improvise several scenes, and use the best routines in the final cut. However, Williams’ tendency to practice his wild style of improv comedy could at times be a detriment to the production he was working on, which was ev-

elled in his collection of toy soldiers and found pleasure in shopping for comic books, not to mention taking many critical pans of his later movies quite personally (especially his Broadway debut in 2011 in the serio-comic play “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo”, which although he gained the muchneeded critical praise, was passed over for a Tony Award nomination).

“Robin” is probably the definitive biography of a man whos goal in life was to just make a lot of people laugh with his own brand of comedy.

And through his standup specials, and memorable movie performances, Robin Williams became one of the most beloved comedians/comic actors of his time. ident when he performed Yet because of his deliwith Steve Martin on a cate, fragile personal side, Lincoln Center produc- Robin Williams was like tion of “Waiting for his showbiz namesake Godot”, which led to the from a century ago: he production’s abbreviated was the funniest man you run. ever saw, and was the sadThe book also paints a dest man you ever met. portrait of Robin Williams But thanks to David who was a mass of pain, Itzkoff’s fascinating book, self-doubt and chemical you can readily underdependency, not to men- stand why he was both. tion a man-child who rev(Henry Holt, $39)

There are some warning signs though.

Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging, but it becomes a problem when a person becomes forgetful on a regular basis. If you notice a loved one forgetting important dates, relying on post-its to remind themselves of appointments, visitor dates and times or repetitive questioning, start to pay attention.

2017 facts and figures: lzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that affects thinking and memory. While the disease usually progresses slowly, it becomes more severe with time and can be difficult to diagnose.

“An estimated 5.5 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer’s dementia in 2017.

As of 2016 there were an estimated 564,000 Canadians with the disease with 25,000 new cases diagnosed each year. By 2031 the number is expected to rise to 937,000 an increase of 66%.

Approximately 56,000 Canadians with dementia are being cared for in hospitals. We have to do better than that!

Worldwide, nearly 44 million people have Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, according to Alzheimer’s Disease International.
