Brent Butt

Oh Man!

The show was AWESOME!

I was cryin'. Carol was cryin'. It was great.

At one point he started in on a back-and-forth with a lady in the audience that was hilarious.

The guy who opened for Brent, Jamie Hutchinson, was also on Corner Gas:

Brent opened the last 15 minutes or so up to questions from the audience. That was pretty cool. Apparently Butt is only 5'9" and the guy that plays Davis is actually the tallest at 6". Wanda is apparently 5".

Someone asked about Wanda's kid...and Butt said he thought seeing the world through the eyes of her kid would be nice and creepy (can't say I've seen that episode, though).

Also, apparently, Oscar is modelled on his father. Except he's apparently the exact opposite. Brent originally wrote Oscar like his father, but both Oscar and Brent's characters were so laid back that it didn't lead to anything...he needed the conflict of Oscar's constant anger.
