P.K. Subban tries hand at stand-up comedy, ‘pokes fun’ at Canadiens brass
The Montreal crowd is chanting: “P.K.! P.K.! P.K.!”
Only P.K. Subban is not on the ice wearing a Montreal Canadiens sweater, nor even part of the original-six franchise any longer. It’s the first day of August and Subban is back in Montreal, about a month after the shocking trade which sent him to Nashville for fellow all-star defenceman Shea Weber.
He’s in front of a sea of loyal fans on this day, not as a star hockey player, but a first-time stand-up comedian. The crowd stands and applauds to open the “P.K. Subban: Shots Fired” special (which airs Jan. 2 on CBC) before Subban finally gets around to “the elephant in the room.”
He pauses and then delivers the punch line: “I went to Europe this summer.”
