I met Dean Haglund!
Last night I went to Rumour's Comedy Club here in Winnipeg, Manitoba with some friends because Dean Haglund was the headliner! I remember my good friend [info]lsugaralmond talking about a show he did in London a few months ago and how great it was, so I dropped my original Saturday night plans and went (because hello, getting to see someone from XF in Winnipeg?? Very rare indeed!!).

To sum it up, it was a GREAT show! I wasn't sure what to expect since it's not like he's overly funny on XF. But I was laughing so hard my stomach was hurting and I thought I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen. Anyone else ever go see his stand up/improv act?? It's a lot like Whose Line is it Anyway?: The X-Files Edition. :D And I had totally forgotten that he's from the Winnipeg area! (how did I forget that!). So it was really great hearing him joke about the city.

After the show,, I saw him off to the side talking with some people and I told my friend that I needed to go meet him. It was a really tiny club and he had been walking around/sitting not too far from us when the opening act was on. So we walked up to him and he was SUPER nice and we got a picture with him!

Apparently he's here till the 12th doing shows and I really want to go see him again! He's hilarious!

Hey, a fellow Winnipegger! I'm not currently living in the city, which is too bad given this show seems to be great and I can't go see it, but I'll return in a couple of months and make it my hometown again.

XF people in Winnipeg! It kinda makes the city just that extra bit cooler. :0)

Yay! Always happy to meet other Winnipeg Philes :D I was looking at some of your Wpg pics... very nice! You got one of my old school, Collège universitaire de Saint Boniface :) I love St.B. So pretty! I'm going to have my wedding pictures taken at the Cathédrale.

I'm glad you enjoy the city... as someone who has lived here her whole life, sometimes the long, cold winters get to me and I wonder why anyone would ever want to come here ;)

You're the first Winnipeg Phile I've ever met, so YAY! :0)

OMG, the pictures! I haven't actually looked at them in quite a while because I've been feeling rather homesick lately and it just hurts too much. I feel in love with the city right away and it's quickly become what I consider my home. I even love the long and cold winters but maybe I'm nuts. *lol*

Saint Boniface is indeed beautiful and certainly a really cool choice for wedding pictures. It's interesting too because most people have their wedding pictures taken in the Legislative Building, or so I have been told.

Oh man, I can only imagine how great it would have been having other fans around :D No one there really seemed to know/care who he was except me and my friends! haha

How awesome! Way back in the day I sent him an e-mail from his website, and actually got a response. It's so cool that he's that approachable and nice to his fans. I wish I could see his stand-up!

Awesome! I've always wanted to see one of his shows, I've heard they're absolutely hilarious. Isn't he sweet? I met him at Paley, and he was wonderful. Go Dean!

I met him at Icon last year (this year's Icon just ended, le sigh!) and he's SO awesome! He's funny as hell and sweet too. We spent like 20 minutes while I was standing around waiting for an assignment (volunteer minion here :D) and we ended up with like, an inside joke. Oy. It was great. He's so awesome!
