  Hey guys,
  
  I'm a Canadian actor/writer who performs regularly at Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre (and toured with Second City in Toronto!!). I'm putting together a Canada Day Show at UCB that is going to be full of Canadian comedians and actors that is going to be great. I would love the Canadian support...
  
  Fortunately, UCB sells out most of the shows I perform in, so book your reservations now and come support Canadians in LA!
