‘Live from the Annex’ is pleased to announce a special co-production partnership with the Canadian Comedy Foundation for Excellence for its cabaret on September. In advance of the Canadian Comedy Awards show on September 13, the ‘Live from the Annex’ event on September 1 will feature live performances by 2015 CCA nominees Keesha Brownie (Comic Artist), Weaker Vessels (Sketch troupe replacing Tony Ho), Sarah Hillier (Improv) and Matt Folliott (Improv). Also, Brian G. Smith (MC) will do a special guest interview of CCFE/CCA president Tim Progosh. This Live from the Annex special event will also mark, for the first time in 15 years of CCAs, a ‘Salon des Refusés,’ the live-audience screening of select submissions from CCA Short Film and Web Series media categories. ‘Salon des Refusés’ is a film festival tradition dating back to the late 1800s, where submitters that are not chosen for featured festival screening hold their own screening and party. In addition, the show features Lisa Merchant directing Brunswick Stew (Annex Improv) and Lee Cohen (keyboards). The ‘Live from the Annex’ show runs the first Tuesday of every month, 8 p.m. – 10 p.m., and takes place in ‘The Garage,’ at the Centre for Social Innovation - Annex location, 720 Bathurst Street, Toronto. $15 tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at livefromtheannex.com.

The comedy and music show is broadcast live to the world-wide web via Dailymotion.com/YouAndMedia.
