A Canadian comic icon takes to the stage at the Capitol Centre tonight.

Howie Mandel is back in North Bay for the first time in five years.

He says coming to Canada is like his homecoming tour and no matter what else he’s done, stand up is his favourite thing to do.

He says stand up is the most freeing and best experience he can have, pointing out it’s very interactive, anything can happen and it’s full of improve with no editing.

He says he looks at it like it’s a giant party and he’s trying to be the centre of attention.

Tonight’s show goes at 730. The doors open at 630. At last check there are a few tickets left for the show, mostly in the balcony. For more details, check out capitolcentre.org.
