Dane Cook...Vancouver...controversy

So, this past Saturday night, while a huge chunk of the comedy business is having a swingin' soiree in Montreal, there's a controversy on the other side of the country, in Vancouver. Dane Cook, newly arrived in Vancouver (in town, for the next six weeks or so to shoot a movie, from what we can piece together), calls up the local comedy club (or one of them-- Vancouver Yuk Yuks) and asks if he can go on.

Jackpot, right?

Long story short, he gets there, asks to go on before the headliner, gets permission, goes on, and, at the 33-minute mark-- they play him off with Elvis Costello music and cut his mike.

We hasten to add, that, from all acounts of the Vancouver incident, Cook was doing well onstage.

Cook jokes about it from stage, the mike is turned back on and he picks up exactly where he leaves off. He continues for another 5 minutes when-- they play him off with music and cut off his mike again. He gets pissed, drops the mike and bolts.

All this is pieced together from eyewitness accounts posted on an internet forum for Vancouver comics. There are details there.

Uh, Dane Cook - who's he?

There's a reality show involving him on HBO. I caught a few minutes and found him spectacularly unfunny. I guess the kids like him.
