Fog in Sydney harbour.
Fading summer green.
Another parking lot view,
Just living the showbiz dream.

White caps on the river, Covered pool, beneath November skies. Herald a world on its way to winter.

Standing at Signal Hill, the historic touchstone of St. John's, Nfld. Looking to kick off my national tour tonight in North America's oldest city and one of Canada's coolest. This is where you'll hear the 'soul note' of people and place singing loud and clear!

Had fun on Canada AM speaking about a good cause and a 'lost cause'. Click on the link below for the full scoop on Gilda's "It's Always Something," and Rob Ford.

Canada Am

With six critically acclaimed one-hour comedy specials under his belt and a television series entering its fifth successful season, RON JAMES is back doing what he does best: delivering laughs face to face and coast to coast, with a patented, poetically charged, non-stop performance of brand new material. Whether launching blistering attacks on the micro-managing Harpercons who pinch pennies with one hand, while the other rewards gravy train riding Senators with back-room cash grabs, or probing the plight of the harried Canadian Everyman, fighting for small victories in Life's daily struggle against forces that mess with his mojo, Ron 'TAKES NO PRISONERS' in pursuit of the funny. Topics as diverse as battles with Bell Customer Service, professional sports, visiting pandas, international conflict, trash TV, religion, sex, hope, Hell and apocalyptic weather, Ron's comedic perspective is guaranteed to lighten the load of your daily grind in what the Globe and Mail has called,'two hours of non-stop hilarity'.

This week, Ron looks at the increasingly complex world of LANGUAGE & COMMUNICATION and tries to figure out what’s getting lost in translation. Two guys hiking in the Chilean rainforest wish they’d paid closer attention in Spanish class when they encounter some angry guerillas in the mist; A puny reward shows a wife just how much her husband values their lost cat. When L’il Ronnie and his family participate in a Lobster Race, naturally things come to a boil; And in this week’s ‘Ode to the Road’, Ron pays tribute to a picturesque town with a past that’s still in ship shape, home of the Bluenose – Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Special Guests: Deb McGrath, Christian Potenza

In this week’s episode, Ron puts the world of SCIENCE under the microscope. H.G. Wells gets to test drive his famous Time Machine and discovers that as much as things change, they stay the same; Thanks to the new ‘Drone’ technology, our military finds its next wave of ‘Top Guns’ from the local arcade. L’il Ronnie sees an elderly neighbour naked and finds it’s a sight he cannot unsee; And conservative radio host Buell Crawford refuses to evolve when it comes to evolution. Special Guests: Alanna Harkin, Marty Adams, Jonas Chernick, Sugith Varughese.

When Ron looks at the subject of BELONGING & LONELINESS, he wonders out loud just how much people need people (and chooses his words carefully in case Barbra Streisand shows up looking for royalties); Exasperated parents realize their 30 year old son is addicted to video games and the only way they can intervene is to ‘get in the game’; A couple gets much more than they bargained for when the child they’ve adopted arrives and is old enough to collect a pension. L’il Ronnie has his hands full with the class rabbit; And in this week’s ‘Ode to the Road’, Ron hops the ferry to Saltspring Island, where the scenery is divine, and ‘odd’ is everywhere. Special Guests: Ryan Belleville, Linda Kash, Cliff Saunders.
