He’s extremely talented. The best emcee there is. Charming beyond belief. A super nice guy. Funny. And good looking to boot. Ya, I hate him too. Kidding, of course. Dave Kelly is, beyond question, destined for (more) greatness. And I would suggest Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Falllon had best keep an eye in the rear-view mirror as if Kelly wants, he could easily host his own late-nite talk show.
Witness the lengthy standing ovation at the end of Kelly’s recent Dave Kelly Live show held at Theatre Junction Grand. Clever staging, Kelly’s spot-on musings about life and all it has to offer, killer band Michael Bernard Fitzgerald with Russell Broom and Andrew Ball, Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s Skype from New York City, Jim Button’s five favourite things bit and a guest appearance by Jann Arden left the SRO crowd begging for more.
Appreciative fans in attendance at the one-night-only show included: Bob and Julie Hamilton; the Calgary Zoo’s Trish Exton-Parder; better half of Kelly, wife Blythe Butler; Tracey Button; National Music Centre’s Jeni Piepgrass; Pengo Monitoring CEO Derek Krivak; e=mc2’s Kathy Randle; FIO Consulting’s Karen Hounjet; Calgary Arts Development president and CEO Patti Pon; ATB Financial managing director, community investment, Sandra Huculak; Calgary Meals on Wheels excutive director Janice Curtis; arts diva Kerry Miller; A Happier Mind founder Karen Judge; and RBC’s Jeff Boyd and his wife Michelle.
