Comedian and musician Tom Liske performed at Yorkton Crossing today.

Liske grew up in rural Manitoba and found a lot of humour in and around the farming community where he lived until about 15 years old, details his website. 聽

鈥淓vents in his life unexpectedly found him living in Los Angeles for most of his high school years where his life experience broadened and he found more humour in being a "fish out of water" in his new environment,鈥� notes his bio.

鈥淯pon returning to Canada, Liske bounced around with living in Victoria, BC, Calgary. AB and Winnipeg, MB. 聽Eventually he settled in the place he really calls home - Saskatoon, SK. 聽

Liske's show is based on observational humour, gentle sarcasm, boyish innocence and an "outsider's" view of the world in general. 聽

鈥淲hat makes Tom stand apart from other comedic talent is the songs.... oh, the songs that you'll be singing on the way home after his show! 聽When he picks up the guitar it is apparent that Tom really enjoys performing and is having as good of a time as you are,鈥� again notes his bio.

Liske鈥檚 career includes;

• having 聽headlined the Calgary Comedy Festival, Edmonton's Comedy Factory and the Rotary International Comedy Festival
• is a veteran writer/performer for CBC radio
• Performed with Mike McDonald, Derek Edwards, Smokey Robinson, Brent Butt , and the Smothers Brothers聽

The day鈥檚 entertainment was started by the music of Len Gadica聽who was born and raised in Melville, and has been performing music practically his entire life.

鈥淚 first performed at a Christmas concert at age four,鈥� he said in a recent Yorkton This Week article. 鈥淚 sang聽and played the ukulele.聽My dad was an accordion player too and played for local dances as a young man. I became interested in taking accordion lessons when I was seven.聽At that time, before the electronic age of instruments, accordion was a very popular instrument.鈥�

With those musical roots set so deeply, it is not surprising Gadica has stayed with music his entire life, recently releasing a new disc; 鈥楳y Work is all Play鈥�.

鈥淭his is my seventh old time album, and all the music on all the albums is original,鈥� he said.
