This year's luncheon in Edmonton & Calgary features TV personality Mike Bullard.
Mike Bullard accomplished something no other Canadian had before: hosted Canada's first truly successful nightly talk show. Running for six unprecedented seasons, "Open Mike" (1997), was one of the longest running late-night talk shows in North America. The Gemini award-winning series was the most watched late-night talk show in Canada's largest market, comparable in popularity and success to late-night heavyweights Letterman and Leno.
Bullard's razor sharp, often self-deprecating humor, insightful jabs at the human condition and his ability to engage in unscripted banter with audience members made Open Mike a favorite with television viewers and in 2002 he was voted one of the top Funniest Canadians in a nationwide poll.
Reserve seats today for yourself, friends and colleagues. Laughter guaranteed!
