Oct. 13: Michael Gelbart

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm glad I've got tonight's episode in the can because I'm going to be tripping on tryptophan after a big turkey dinner. I spoke to Montreal-raised, Toronto standup comic now residing in Los Angeles, Michael Gelbart. Perhaps you've seen him on Speaker's Corner... No, wait, there's got to be a more current credit... Got it: Open Mic with Mike Bullard... No, hang on. Yes, here it is: Late Night with Craig Ferguson. And here's a piece of trivia for you: Gelbart – born in Montreal, you'll recall from four sentences ago – is the only Canadian comic who's appeared on an American late-night talk show who has never performed at the Just For Laughs festival. Go figure! We talk about that, as well as all sorts of other stuff. And Michael is his inimitable ebullient, funny and positive self.

Show starts at 11 pm PT on CFRO, 100.5 FM, in Vancouver. Livestream it at coopradio.org. Or wait a week for the podcast to drop. Your call.
