Lock down that Pied Piper stock – the cast and creators of HBO’s beloved Silicon Valley series are heading to Just for Laughs. The cast, including Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Martin Starr, and Zach Woods, will join series co-creator / writer Mike Judge (of Beavis and Butt-head and Office Space fame) and writer / director Alan Berg for a panel discussion on July 25 at 2:00 pm at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Ellie Kemper, star of Netflix’s The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – whose theme song is likely still stuck in your head – has been confirmed to host a Gala show on July 24 at 9:45 pm at Place des Arts. Earlier that night, Quebec native and former Saturday Night Live Weekend Update host Norm Macdonald will host his own gala at 7:00 pm at Place des Arts.
Roastmaster Jeff Ross presides over all of the Comedy Central roasts, and will now use his take-down prowesses to judge the inaugural Roastmaster Invitational: The 2015 World Championship of Competitive Roasting, running from July 21 to 25 at L’Astral. 16 stand-up comedians will compete over the five days for the Roastmasters 2015 trophy, and for unlimited bragging rights at the next celebrity roast special.
Finally, Montrealers really love NPH. Neil Patrick Harris has been confirmed to host two additional Galas on July 28, upping his hosting duties to a total of four Galas in 48 hours.
Tickets for Silicon Valley, Ellie Kemper, and The Roastmaster Invitational go on-sale Friday, June 19 at 10am. The Neil Patrick Harris Galas go on-sale Wednesday, June 17 at 10am. To purchase tickets, visit hahaha.com.
