He’s been called “The Dean of Dust,” the “Squire of the Squeegee,” the CEO of CLR, but mostly he’s been called to entertain audiences across Canada and the United States for the past 25 years.

Sandy Gillis, a spokesperson for Jimmy the Janitor, said in an e-mail interview the show is made for the whole family. “Jimmy’s show is a good clean stand-up comedy show (no profanity) recommended for those 13 and over. Our show in Ponoka is a comedy cabaret with bar service.”

Jimmy the Janitor brings his hilarious show to Ponoka, Oct. 25 at the Ponoka Legion. It’s good clean fun, and starts at 7:30 p.m. with two sets and an intermission in between.

The comedian usually travels for three-to six-day tours and about one to two weeks per month. He has 10 comedy CDs and his comedy feature “Jimmy Live” is heard daily in 70 radio markets across Canada. The jovial janitor has appeared on CBC Radio/Television, CTV and the Comedy Network.

Gillis feels Jimmy does a “very funny show. You’ll be glad you attended.”

What some people have said about the show:

“Our audience loved Jimmy. He had us laughing ‘til we cried!” Dryden Cultural Centre.

“Great performance! There will be plenty of Jimmy the Janitor stories told around the water coolers for days to come.” Encana, Medicine Hat.
