Review:

    A bitter/sweet show tonight - Some amazing guests (Jenn Boyd, Christopher Doucet, Helen Rose, and more) made for a special night and a unique performance, however it is lil' Kyle Nishimura's last show - He is the host/tech assistant who has been with the numbers show since the beginning! His positive energy and hard work always make the show special. He will be missed. Tonight's show was all about him - the gang sang many of his favourites.
    Some new songs were performed tonight - Chris & Matt did an amazing version of the Scissor Sisters' LAURA, Helen Rose did an incredible job on BLOWIN' IN THE WIND, and a fun original FUCKIN' MIRACLE. Matt made a half attempt at Jeff Buckley's LOVER YOU SHOULD HAVE COME OVER, and Chris & Jenn tried on Fleetwood Mac's SONGBIRD.
    The highlight of the night was the encore - Jenn Boyd performed Kyle's favourite song ANGELS by Robbie Williams, and then Matt sang while Chris played on a heartbreaking rendition of THE LAST TIME I SAW RICHARD.
