Prince Albert man bringing laughs to Montreal
Getting on the bill for three days at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal is an accomplishment in itself, but Prince Albert’s Kelly Taylor has even higher hopes.
He notes on top of being funny, comedians are looking to sell their persona to agents who could cast them in a movie or television show, or hire them as a writer.
The need to do both means eight minutes of material needs to capture the audience.
“Montreal is more of, I’ll try to find my best eight, which describes what kind of person I am. These guys [agents] want to know who you are, what you are, what they could do with you. If they see something they like they want to know what kind of person you are and how they can put you in a TV show, Taylor said.
