Wade McElwain - The Littlest Hobo

It’s a pity that this Canadian comic found someone in the audience who shared a farming background as the ensuing banter takes the fizz from the head of steam he gains early on with a series of eloquently taste-busting lines. Naming his show after The Littlest Hobo, this maverick shouldn’t be a comedy loner for much longer.
