Kevin MacDougal - Laurie Jones - Bob Mann - Marc Sauve

"In life, there are some people you just can't take seriously. Marc is one of those people. This, as it turns out, is a good thing for Canadians. Marc's effortless delivery and bent sense of humour has taken him across the country and back. Whether it's performing at the Legion in Red Deer or in the bistros of Montreal, his show is sure to hit. Fast-paced, and topical, leaping from an everyday perspective to “what if?” world, his act reflects his personal trials, travels, romances all embraced with an adventurer's spirit. Not known for pulling any punches, his view on the world gets woven into a shtick that has you asking, is he serious? This is Marc's second appearance at Ha!ifax Comedy Fest."

"Definitely one of the sharper knives in the draw!" Bill Brownstein Montreal Gazette

There was a BBQ, games and prizes and a great time was had by all participants. The Metro Shelter would like to thank Pug Pals of HRM, all of their supporters and “furry” friends from Pugapalooza for their support. Part of the donation money was used to purchase new easy walk harnesses for the dogs at the shelter, a gift that was greatly appreciated!
