Jon Lajoie's Fredericton Show: An Incredibly Bias Fan Revue

I don't want to discredit the Derham Elementary School's ballet recital, but the place to be last night was Jon Lajoie's performance at The Playhouse in downtown Fredericton. Lajoie's highly anticipated arrival in Fredericton lands on his last tour date for his Live As Fuck comedy tour. He played to a nearly packed house and performed some of his Youtube favorites along with a whole raft of new material made specifically for his show.

Lajoie was opened by Kyle Dooley who prepped the audience for what was to come with some raunchy comedy that got a lot of laughs. You may recognize Kyle Dooley's name from his highly successful Halifax-based Picnicface comedy group. If you haven't heard of them, you're lying because everyone in the world has heard of POWERTHIRST, and they were the genious's that brought it to us. They have a whole lot more to keep you laughing at their website http://picnicface.com.

When Lajoie burst out on to the Playhouse stage he was adorning some pretty G'd out apparel while he performed the hit that made everyone wonder how to spell his name properly so they could Youtube him correctly, Everyday Normal Guy. After getting the crowd pumped he performed some stand up that would make your grandmother puke, a completely unexpected path for those who have come to expect Lajoie to be a purely comedy singer/songwriter.

The laughs kept going when Lajoie started the songs with High as Fuck and continued on with some new songs and some older favorites, such as Two Girls One Cup Song among others. Lajoie finished the night with the over-the-top sexist persona, MC Vagina's Show Me Your Genitals.

Lajoie had to deal with one heckler in the crowd who he handled with poise much to the crowds pleasure. The heckler was later found passed out in his chair after the show (If ANYONE has a picture of this guy - Since I saw several camera phones taking pictures, please contact me!)

The entire night was a great success and saw drones of fans flood the lobby for a chance to get an autograph and a picture with the comedian. Rumor says the rest of the night went very well for Lajoie, and Fredericton's tour date will be etched in his memory for quite some time. Supposing he wasn't stoned and forgot.

Here's Ali and I with Jon after the show moments before he excused himself to the bathroom.
