Edit: This is the 7000 message posted on AIN! Congrats everyone! :cheers:

Awsome idea! Hmm, Is it ok if my comedian is Quebecer only speaking French? Cuz he's the best!

Blakeway - That's fine. Redding is Arcacia's francophone district. Almost all of the French speakers in Arcacia live there and it was settle by the French. It's sister city is Montreal.

Of course! But I'm sure no one of AIN will understand a word of this humorist/comedian... Marc Labrèche all the way! If you want to see this, it's a parody of the TV Show: Showbiz at TQS (Nos called V TÉLÉ)

This is the real Monsieur Showbiz, TV show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OYFtYv45Bc&feature=related

LOL Save it for the festival!

Don't worry, there's alot of other videos! xD

Just a quick warning:

To anyone who is thinking about posting material from Jim Carey, don't. He, along with his wife, Jenny McCarthy, have been refused entry into Arcacia due to their discouraging parents from vaccinating their children. If they attempt to enter Arcacia or Lycanthia, they will both be arrested.

sonds great! i know a great Frenchman, Remi Galliard, you may have heard of him. he does social/public pranks...he's hilarious, but not my pic.

Liberater444, French from France?

no way!

I've reserved Ellen DeGeneres for Redding Performing Arts Center.

Oh YAY!!!

yes he's france french ::

Okay, so I think the best way to go about this with as little confusion as possible is to do the following:

PM me with the following details:
- Name of comedian
- Country of origin
- Venue
- Link to YouTube clip. Just send me the link, don't embed it or anything. I'll do that myself.

This is to prevent double-bookings.

Oh, and you will need to submit acts before February 1.
