A Conversation with Carol where the Audience Asks the Questions

 

If there is one thing this renowned entertainer can do better than anyone else, it is talk at length, impromptu, before a live audience. Laughter and Reflection, Burnett's off-the-cuff banter with the audience, is a format that grew out of the question-and-answer sessions she shared with her studio audience on each episode of The Carol Burnett Show.  Laughter and Reflection with Carol Burnett.

 

As a weekly visitor in American living rooms, Carol Burnett always opened her show with a few minutes of hilarious banter with the audience.  Vancouver ComedyFest is proud to present a rare opportunity to talk to the first lady of comedy in the same enjoyable and intimate audience-interactive format.  Carol says , "I love the spontaneity of these evening.  I never know what anybody is going to say or do or ask."

 

Six-time Emmy Award winner Carol Burnett has demonstrated such versatility since ending the 11 year run of the The Carol Burnett Show that she is now as widely recognized for her dramatic abilities as she is for her comedic and musical talents.
