Ron James: West Coast Wild
Ron James scores a ‘hattrick’ with his third in a series of regional comedy specials, and this time he’s gone 'West Coast Wild'!Strap in for another critically acclaimed sixty minutes of non-stop laughs, as Canada’s hardest working comedian wraps his noggin’ ‘round that province of polarities called British Columbia…where you're either chained to a tree or chopping it down! Shot over two sold out performances at the 2000 seat Royal Theatre in Victoria, ‘WestCoast Wild’ is Ron at the top of his game, blending a comedian’s eye for satire with apoet’s ear for language, as he cuts a wide comedic swath cross the cultural landscape in‘Canada’s California’.You don't have to be a card carrying member of a LotusLand Life Coach Tai Chi Co-Op to know what James is on about though, ‘cause it's chock full of road tested material relevant to everyone from Cornerbrook to Courtney-Comox, covering everything from mid-life meltdowns and macrobiotic vegans to legless pigs. He might be travelling BC but you'll know what he's talking about without leaving your couch!

Ron James is an amazing, brilliant comedian. How he manages to keep all that material in his head is beyond me. If you like "stream of consciousness" type comedy, then you will love Ron James. He talks endlessly about Canada and its many idiosyncrasies with love and just the right amount of sarcasm. In one breath, he's joining westerners in making fun of Ontario, but in his next, he's poking fun at them. The end result is a wonderful program of little digs and barbs that could offend, but you soon realize the nature of James' comedy, and only the most militant of Canadians could be offended. Pop some popcorn, sit back and laugh until it hurts.Laugh Until The Tears Flow - newdaysof
I've seen all three of Ron James's DVDs and they are all fanstastic, but this one is the funniest of them all. The first time I watched it I laughed so hard there were tears in my eyes for almost the whole show. The guy is truly a brilliant comedian.
How refreshing to see a stand-up comic talk about what it is like to be a Canadian and all the various Canadian experiences unique to our lifestyle and geography. I also appreciate the fact that he does not use profanity or crude sexual references to get laughs - just his brilliant mind and wit. Listening to some of his routine is like listening to prose or poetry - he has a wide-ranging vocabulary and knows how to use it to great effect.
This is the type of DVD you are going to want to watch at least three or four times to catch all the jokes because once he gets started, they fly by fast and furious and you may miss quite a few because you will be laughing so hard. This is definitely one of the funniest stand-up routines I've ever seen. Ron James ranks up there with the all-time comedy greats.
