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.

含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 like a Labrador retriever the first day of duck hunting season,含羞草研究社� he said. 含羞草研究社淟et me out of the house and put me in the boat, man.含羞草研究社�

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. 含羞草研究社淎s much as I含羞草研究社檒l have fun with the audience, I think it含羞草研究社檚 also my job to rock the apple cart and hold power to account.含羞草研究社�

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

含羞草研究社淚 like people leaving the theatre a hell-of-a-lot lighter than when they walked in. I don含羞草研究社檛 think it含羞草研究社檚 my job to put another brick on their back.含羞草研究社�

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.

含羞草研究社淚t allowed me to find an emotional arc for a lot of my stories that my stand-up act didn含羞草研究社檛 allow,含羞草研究社� James said.

含羞草研究社淚 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.含羞草研究社�

Don含羞草研究社檛 expect James to be easing back into what made him famous, however.

含羞草研究社淲hen you come to the show, wear your laughing pants, because if the ushers aren含羞草研究社檛 wiping the seats down after I含羞草研究社檓 done, I haven含羞草研究社檛 done my job.含羞草研究社�
