My Favorite Comedy Skit, Today

July Talk

I've been lucky enough to see the Toronto band July Talk a couple of times now, and they put on a great show.  Fronted by Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay, the songs are good and the presentation quite engaging, as should be evident from these photos taken at Buffalo's Canalside last summer.
