S02E14: Precious Chong & Erin Keaney

We keep far from mum with Precious Chong and Erin Keaney.

We drop this episode early in order to get some word on the street about Erin and Precious’ show “Push…one Mother of a Show”.

Join tva, Erin, Precious, and Ian as put on a sweater because it’s cold outside, finish our vegetables, and speak when we’re spoken to about:

– We talk about their show going on at the Tarragon Theatre Push…one Mother of a Show
The results of the election…before it happens
The Royal Wedding
– The joys of motherhood
– Their show’s great director Linda Kash

Thanks and enjoy!

S02E13: Freedom of Speech w/ Nile Seguin

We have our way with words with Nile Seguin.

This episode is devoted for the most part on the Guy Earle case on the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal that has been talked about quite a bit in the comedy community and beyond. Ian gets useful as he was actually at the night in question, so he provides his insights. We thank Nile Seguin for coming in to discuss it with us.

Join tva, Nile, and Nile as we pass judgement on the following:

A well-written blog by comedian Simon Rakoff that captures some good points
– What happened that night
– What does this do to freedom of speech?
Nile’s got a great podcast that he does with Debra DiGiovanni

Thanks and enjoy!

S02E11: Andrew Schulz

We double up with New York’s Andrew Schulz and Toronto’s Rob Mailloux.

We’re fortunate to have Andrew Schulz come in from New York while he tours Canada, and also lucky to have Rob Mailloux, the gent that brought him there.

Join tva, Andrew, Rob, and Ian as we throw down on (do people still say “throw down”? Throw down, then):

– The difference between the New York comedy scene and that found in Canada
– The different creative processes that allow different people to come up with the same joke about poo
– Touring horror stories

Thanks and enjoy!
