There are two things that most Montrealers thoroughly enjoy: food and comedy shows. With that said, it seems only natural that these two important cultural facets should come together once in a while for a tasty yet side-splitting evening, this month brought to us by the ravishingly hilarious comedienne Jessica Salomon. On May 11, Bistro Le Parc des Princes will present ‘Le Comedy Bistro’, an evening of stand-up comedy produced and hosted by Salomon and her gang of comics.

Headlined by Canadian Comedy Award winner and Just For Laughs regular Heidi Foss, the show will also include sets by Andrea Stanford, Benjamin Marquis, Jeff Schouela, Dan Bingham and Eman.

When asked to describe the event in five words or less, Salomon replied: “Stand-up comedy in a bistro! C’est delicieux!” Her inability to count sure doesn’t hinder her stellar joke-telling, so we’ll still be front-row-centre for this up-coming evening of laughs.

The show begins at 8pm at Bistro Le Parc des Princes (5293 Parc). Call 514-678-5727 for reservations; tickets are $7 at the door.
