A great show!

Gavin Crawford is terrific. I am so glad he won. He went on after this to have his own show The Gavin Crawford Show, on the comedy network which was a really good show and showcased his great talents and the very many characters he can do. The other acts were all pretty funny too in this show but just not as funny as Gavin Crawford. The production value of this award show goes up every year and I am always impressed by the talent in these shows, it is a great thing that the comedy network runs this award show and they give away the Tim Sims award to an upcoming Canadian comedy performer or group so that we can continue to have such a great comedy industry here.
