Comedy Now!

Damonde Tschritter works at a pace that suggests he has absolutely nowhere else to be. His style is conversational to a fault, mimicking the easy, unbothered rhythm of a friend holding court in a quiet corner of a house party. Filmed at the Masonic Temple in Toronto and broadcast in June 2004 on CTV and The Comedy Network, this taping captures the Vancouver stand-up years before he made history as the first Canadian to win the Seattle International Comedy Competition. Instead of rushing toward punchlines, he lets his setups breathe, trusting his relaxed demeanor and dry, observational storytelling to carry a set that favors patient narratives over cheap, high-energy setups.
