The Artistry of Marc Eliuk, is featuring:

Comedian Tracey MacDonald

Tracey and how it all started: "I started doing stand up comedy at Saint Francis Xavier University. I went in a contest and I think got third place. I never wanted to be a comedian but it just seemed to be a natural thing that I was meant to do. I did Yuk yuks in Ottawa and then all across Canada for years. Eventually I sent my tape out and got on Star Search on CBS and ended up winning it four times and getting a deal with CBS. I moved to Los Angeles and have been there ever since."

"I go to Canada as much as I can. As I write this I am visiting Nova Scotia and I can not tell you how beautiful it is and how peaceful it is. I am so lucky. I will be honest I am not the cleanest comedian all the time but the crowds here and the people have remained so loyal as fans that I better get working on some new jokes :)"

Tracey in Amsterdam: "On the way to entertain the troops we all stopped in Amsterdam. Yes it was 4am and no I am not high. I do think I got a contact high from being in the coffee shop."

Tracey in Afghanistan: "I went to Afghanistan, Kandahar and Kabul to entertain the Canadian Troops. I am not really for the war but I will say that I know that the Canadians are trying to make things better for the Afghan people that don't have rights. I did lots of shows and ended up giving free hugs to the troops..there was a long line..."

"I was visiting a Mosque and had to cover my hair. My friend on the tour took a photo of me."

Tracey very personal: "This is a painting of my Mother that Marc did, I know that my Mom would love this so much. After Marc emailed me the photo I can not even tell how how much she means to me. She was a nurse and then a mother of eight. With five grand daughters and two grandsons. She was a strong, graceful woman who was selfless. I love this painting of her."

"I know this is Marc's own website but I want to Thank him. It has been almost a year since I lost my Mother and his painting brought happiness to my family."
