Western Canadian Tour Dates Announced Tickets go on sale Friday, October 4 at 10:00am
Vancouver, BC ~ Paul Mercs Concerts is pleased to present the following Western Canadian tour dates for the all-new live show MythBusters: Behind the Myths starring Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, co-hosts of the Emmy-nominated Discovery channel series MythBusters: November 28 Calgary, AB Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium November 29 Edmonton, AB Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium November 30 Saskatoon, SK TCU Place December 1 Regina, SK Conexus Arts Centre MythBusters: Behind the Myths presents a fantastical evening of on-stage experiments, audience participation, rocking video, and behind-the-scenes stories. With this show, for the first time, fans join Jamie and Adam on stage and assist in their mind-blowing and mind-twisting approach to science. MythBusters: Behind the Myths brings you face-to-face with the curious world of Jamie and Adam as the duo matches wits on stage with each other and members of the audience. In 2012, the show played a sold out 28-city North American tour. One of the Discovery Channels most highly regarded and watched series, MythBusters is now in its tenth season. Co-hosted by Hyneman and Savage, MythBusters mixes scientific method with gleeful curiosity and plain old-fashioned ingenuity to create its own signature style of explosive experimentation and the supporting or de-bunking of urban myths that we live with day to day.

Adam and Jamie have become spokespersons at large for applying science to real life most recently as hosts of the Discovery Channel special iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World, and have appeared on numerous shows including Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Colbert Report, NPRs All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and many more. They were also invited to participate in Jon Stewart and Stephen Colberts Rally to Restore Fear and/or Sanity and have received the Young Artist Award for inspiring young people in the interest of science. MythBusters has been invited to participate on a panel at Comic-Con, where their appearances have sold-out four years running.
