The Twins' Parade at the Comedy Festival

We used to go to the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival on rue St-Denis (https://www.hahaha.com/en). During the day there were activities, a twins' parade for instance, and twins from all over the province and elsewhere would celebrate their "twinness". It was lots of fun and reminds me of twins I've seen; for instance, two old men, identical twins, who lived on Girouard Avenue and dressed alike, they even had the same white beards. I think the best show I saw at the Comedy Festival was hosted by Dame Edna (John Barry Humphries) in 2005; Dame Edna was brilliant as were the comics she introduced. There was also Whoopie Goldberg (in 2009), and others. For years they rebroadcast these performances on TV; sometimes, to great surprise, you'd see someone you knew in the audience. After the show at Théâtre St-Denis we'd go to an Italian restaurant on the same street, seating was on the second floor and it would be packed with tourists and Montrealers; doors to a balcony, where some people were eating, were left open and you'd see the heads of giant mannequins passing by from the second floor. Outside it was full of people, wall to wall people, everybody eating, talking, laughing, enjoying a summer evening, or watching someone who was painted grey and appeared to be a statue that came to life; these performances, and others, were amazing. The good news is that, all going well, the Comedy Festival returns this summer!
