UPDATE
The event has been postponed due to the state of emergency in Medicine Hat from the flooding. The new date is Saturday, July 20th, 2013.
Medicine Hat Fan Roundup is back this year and is happening… tomorrow! The event is a one day expo in Medicine Hat for fans of anime, fantasy, sci-fi, video games, card games, board games, and pretty much anything else geeky.
You can expect lots of game playing, lots of anime, art, vendors, and plenty of presentations and workshops. You can kind of think of it as a mini Otafest.
Guests for 2013 include Force Start Comedy, The 404s, and featuring (as the special guest): James Davidge (of Driftwood Saga fame).

Joe Rogan is done his stop in Medicine Hat, but there is another huge name in comedy coming to the Esplanade. Mark your calendars – Wednesday, October 21 at 8pm, Deal or no Deal Host, Howie Mandel will be making his way into the Gas City.
The Canadian comedic icon from Kingston, Ontario has had much success in the last few years as he has stared in many Boston Pizza commercials, appeared many times on Live with Regis and Kelly, hosted Deal or No Deal and Deal or No Deal Canada, as well as his comedy show Howie Do It premiered on NBC and Global TV earlier this year. So this is a show you don’t want to miss.
The cost to see Howie is $56.00 + S/C, GST.
Looks like we are playing catch-up with listing some of the popular/big events happening in the near future. Joe Rogan will be stopping by in Medicine Hat for his recent stand-up tour. Rogan is mostly known today as a UFC commentator, and previously as the Fear Factory host, but he is also a stand-up comedian with tons of performances under his belt. His performances are usually jam-packed with very mature content, so for that reason I won’t embed any videos for your amusement, but there is tons of his stuff available on YouTube including some very funny heckler dissing routines.
The event is presented by ROCK 105.3 and will be happening at the Esplanade Theatre on October 3rd, 2009 at 8:00PM. Tickets will be $42 each (or $48 for VIP) and are available online at Tixx.ca or at the Medicine Hat Mall ticket kiosk.
Ron James, the #1 selling comedian in Canada, is hitting Medicine Hat on Sunday, December 7, 2008 at the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre.
Ron James is a Canadian comedian with fifteen years of experience under his belt. He was in such television shows such as Blackfly and Made in Canada and the movie Ernest Rides Again. He has won two Canadian Comedy Awards for his stand-up comedy.
Always at home on the road, James is touring to perform his 90-minute show entitled ‘Mental As Anything’ which should appeal to Canadians of all walks of life. The show touches on different aspects of his life, including family camping trips when he was twelve years old to his current mid-life with some random surprises that he brings up during every show.

“I guess if there’s any themes in my show it’s the average man just trying to make sense of this rapidly changing planet.” James describes in a Medicine Hat News interview by Kim Dick.
Ron James ‘Mental As Anything’ will be performed twice on December 7, one at 4PM and one at 8PM. Tickets are $47 each. Do not miss out on this one!
