Comedians Jon Dore and Jason
Harper kept
the crowd entertained, amused and often befuddled.
Judges
Cory Atkins (the New RO), Fateema Sayani (the Ottawa Citizen) and
journalist Gary Dimmock were on hand to officiate a great night of
fun and laughter, music and song.

guitar work.

is a regular performer at Lieutenant's Pump.
What?
A "Sweet Transvestite" without the fishnet stockings???
The judges were mortified. Nevertheless, biny brought the house
down.
Everybody's
darling, Sally Quinn raised more than a few eyebrows with her
steamy rendition of "I Touch Myself"
"Woo!

$50 (out of Jon Dore's own pocket.)
Just one more reason to visit the Lieutenant's Pump...the staff
is so friendly.

that usual either.
The
