Trade Finally Completed: Montreal Expos for Seaton Smith

Seaton Smith traded to "2008 Just for Laughs Comedy Festival" in Montreal, Canada--negotiated deal to bring Montreal Expos to Washington DC officially done.

In what people are calling the comedic equivalent of the Baltimore Colts moving to Indianapolis under the cover of darkness, the final piece was set into place just hours ago as Seaton Smith was taken from his apartment in Adams Morgan and traded to the prestigious 2008 “Just for Laughs Festival”.
Though surprised by the move and sworn to secrecy until he arrived in Montreal, Smith was visibly pleased as he left his one-bedroom place, as witnessed by neighbor Nicholas Turner,

“He was dancing in the hallway, dancing I tell you! Dancing! I asked him what is the matter with you? But he wouldn’t answer! He wouldn’t answer! He just kept dancing! And giggling! Oh the giggling!...I can still hear the giggling!”. (Turner then became very animated and incoherent as he walked out of the building).

Smith will be performing three sets up at the ‘Just for Laughs Festival’ and will also have to two speaking engagements with bereaved Expos fans at one of Montreal’s public libraries in the early afternoons. His first speech, "You Know...Just Fuck It", a comment on loss, modern sport and business will be Wednesday at 1pm (English) and Thursday at 1 pm (French).

Dccomedy4now congratulates Seaton on his current success via all his hard-work and dedication. Well done, sir.
