Fresh off the release of his special, As Good As Or Better Than directed by Rory Scovel, King is excited to share his new hour of material with the audiences across B.C.
乌鸦传媒淚 write all of my material on stage, just sort of go up with an idea and work it out in front of crowds. I乌鸦传媒檝e always done it that way but needless to say the pandemic made stage time scarce and working new material difficult,乌鸦传媒� King said.
乌鸦传媒淚 filmed my latest special at the end of 2019 but we weren乌鸦传媒檛 able to release it until earlier this year, however, it乌鸦传媒檚 out it乌鸦传媒檚 been received extremely well and has freed me up to work on a whole new hour. Now I can tour again, I乌鸦传媒檓 really looking forward to honing new material and getting ready to tape the next special. It乌鸦传媒檚 a fun process and I乌鸦传媒檓 so glad I乌鸦传媒檓 able to get back out there, get to work and share that journey with audiences.乌鸦传媒�
King was Park乌鸦传媒檚 first choice for this sophomore tour, which visited the region earlier this spring, and felt lucky to have landed him.
乌鸦传媒淔or the second OK, DOPE Stand-up Comedy Tour I really wanted to come out swinging and bring out the best comedians I could think of. I swung for the fences and was lucky enough to hit a home run with Simon King,乌鸦传媒� Park said. 乌鸦传媒淔rom the very inception of this tour, my goal was to bring the best comedy possible to the parts of B.C. that don乌鸦传媒檛 normally see this kind of calibre of comedy and Simon乌鸦传媒檚 as good as it can get.
乌鸦传媒淭hen when Matt Baker joined the tour made me think to myself, 乌鸦传媒榊ou couldn乌鸦传媒檛 ask for a better evening of comedy.乌鸦传媒櫸谘淮綕
