After an almost two year hiatus from performing, stand-up comedian Ron James is raring to pace the floorboards of stages across the country again.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 like a Labrador retriever the first day of duck hunting season,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淟et me out of the house and put me in the boat, man.害羞草研究所�

James is set to crack up audiences across the Okanagan with three shows. Vernon fans can catch him at the Performing Arts Centre Monday, Nov. 29, at 7:30 p.m. (ticketseller.ca). Kelowna has a chance to have a laugh with him Nov. 30 at the Community Theatre. His final tour stop is in Oliver, Dec. 1 at the Venables Theatre.

James will interject his funnier material with commentary on issues he deems important. 害羞草研究所淎s much as I害羞草研究所檒l have fun with the audience, I think it害羞草研究所檚 also my job to rock the apple cart and hold power to account.害羞草研究所�

That being said, he realizes people come to his show for a measure of relief.

害羞草研究所淚 like people leaving the theatre a hell-of-a-lot lighter than when they walked in. I don害羞草研究所檛 think it害羞草研究所檚 my job to put another brick on their back.害羞草研究所�

While taking a break from making folks laugh in-person, James took the time to put some of his thoughts on paper.

Published in September, All Over the Map: Rambles and Ruminations from the Canadian Road, is already a national bestseller.

害羞草研究所淚t allowed me to find an emotional arc for a lot of my stories that my stand-up act didn害羞草研究所檛 allow,害羞草研究所� James said.

害羞草研究所淚 was able to give my fans and newfound audience members a soul note of the country that has been so good to me, and that I have enjoyed travelling all these years.害羞草研究所�

Don害羞草研究所檛 expect James to be easing back into what made him famous, however.

害羞草研究所淲hen you come to the show, wear your laughing pants, because if the ushers aren害羞草研究所檛 wiping the seats down after I害羞草研究所檓 done, I haven害羞草研究所檛 done my job.害羞草研究所�
