is Bro:,c1fooe,s• own -con-
ception; he . has written,
produced, and performs
most of the material. One
Toronto columnist wrote "If
ever you've wanted to take a
heaver to' lunch, now is the'
time to do it. 'We took a
beaver to „lunch via the
brilliant and hysterically
funny Di Broadfoot, and
new„„ comedy partner Carol
RobinSon, as we `smokey
beareds our way from one
hilarious skit to • another.
Broadfoot . . possibly the
top Canadian humorist in' the
country today,' made it all
com'e•true. Broadfoots come
a long way since the old
corn -hall days of playing the
nightly drinkeries. With
,plaudits • from Ed Sullivan,
Variety and the U-.K.'s
• Punch, his' •flair for the
comic has developed into an
extrabrdintry sense
timing."
Another praised his par-
ner. "Carol Robinson, is as
kooky • as ever, bringing to
the show experience 'that
dales back to the early 60's
at the .Bohemian Embassy.
Appearances with The Dirty
Shames, with the. Chitako
company of the Second City
ReVue and with the
Pomerantz -Michels CBS
Spec.ials have strengthened
her projectionfAs a balance
for Broadfoot Miss Robinson •
is intriguing. Her short
stature contrasts amusingly
-
wit?' his lanky, loping
,Josture.",.'
A Montreal journalist
closed his Column with the
following story - "As the ,
show ended - *to some of, the
most enthusiastic applause I
have ever heard, in any
theatre anywhere, - I
overheard a c,onversatton
that made me, feel typically,
Canadian. Two men, ob-
viously executives, had been,,,
seated in frontof, me and •
both enjoyed the' show im-
*rrieriseVy.,. After' much
laughter and applause, they -
both rose to go, as they did,
one asked, 'Who.' is he?'
.Gentlemen, he is Dave
Broadfoot - one of the fun-
niest unen in Canada, when
•'he has the right material.
this time he had just the
•right kind. The, results were.
the sort'of.thing we'dpay an
arm and. a leg for in 'New
York or Lohdpn. Don't miss
it! Your friends' will never
,forgive you!"
