In August/September of last year I took a brief contract working with WorldSkills TV.  The reason I found out about the position was because of my good friend, Geoff Schoenberg.  He was working in the volunteer department, noticed the job posting, and sent it over my way.  Since that time he’s embarked on a new [...]

I don’t watch the TV news, I don’t read newspapers, and I don’t follow current events in any way.  I have several friends that think this is to my detriment.  My comedian friends may think that it’s impossible for me to write anything living in isolation.  Neither of these arguments will change my opinion.  There [...]

Twelve days into 2010 and it’s off to a great start for both myself and one of my best friends.  Granted; my first few days of the decade haven’t been quite as news-filled as his… but it’s my blog so I’m going to share my news first.  (I hope that this is a slow work [...]

Last year at about this time I posted a complete summary of what my 2008 looked like.  This was kind of an open Christmas letter to my readership.  I wanted to do that again, however, to mix it up this year I’ve decided to summarize 2009 with some significant numbers.  You might say that it [...]

I’ve spent the last six weeks performing for various corporations’ holiday parties all across Alberta and Saskatchewan (and I’ve got just one more show to go Friday night).  In that time I have met a number of great people and had numerous conversations with those that were curious about what I do for a living.  [...]

On Thursday I presented to a group of local magicians on 10 ways that they could make sure their shows go well. With the holiday performing season just beginning I had some thoughts that my corporate clients (and other event organizers that will be using entertainment in the near future) may find helpful in getting [...]

A lot of people (that aren’t night owls) have been asking about my interview last week on CJSW to promote Wednesday night’s Red Carpet Comedy and it not only went really well but was a LOT of fun to do.  (A big thanks to Evan for having me on!) If you would like to listen [...]

Tomorrow night I’ve been asked to appear on “Am I Right??” – it is Calgary’s only comedy radio show (on CJSW).  The show airs every week at 11:00pm on 90.9fm.  I’ll be joining the regular hosts, Evan and Jesse, to talk about next week’s Red Carpet Comedy.  In addition to the details on what Red [...]

Within in the next month I have a number of shows coming up for a bunch of different reasons (and not the usual “I’m performing a show” type of reasons).  In each case I get to work with a lot of other comics and that always excites me because normally you don’t get the opportunity [...]

I’m back in Calgary after an extended trip (some work and some vacation) but I won’t have much of a break as on Friday I start another weekend of comedy shows at the Edmonton Yuk Yuk’s.  I’ll be working with headliner Kevin Foxx and I have heard nothing but great things about his show.  If [...]
