Still more podcasts

A bunch of new podcasts have been added to the library. Eight, to be exact. You can listen to them here, or over at ye olde Comedy Couch, or download them on iTunes, among other places. I haven't heard them in a while, but if memory serves these are all good ones. At least I had fun:

Dave Shumka from June 15, 2008:


Richard Lett from August 31, 2008:


Marcus Ryan from January 4, 2009:


Reza Peyk from January 18, 2009:


John Wing from March 8, 2009:


Toby Hargraves from March 22, 2009:

Bee's Knees Comedy Arrangement video

Monday night is my basketball night. For another few weeks, anyway. So I missed most of the big opening night of the Bee's Knees Comedy Arrangement at the Cellar jazz club. I got there as headliner Jamie Hutchinson hit the stage. There was a decent-sized crowd and the room, as I keep telling you, is really great. And Jamie was en fuego. Made me wish I had been there all night.

But now, through the magic of video, it's like I was. Each week on their website, they're going to show excerpts from the previous week. I love this idea. Hopefully, though, it won't keep people away, figuring they can just watch on-line. I'm sure the idea is to whet their comedic appetites, if you will, so they'll make it down to Broadway and Alma one Monday night. To that end, maybe they need to give smaller tastes of the acts, and edit them all together for some one-stop viewing. But I'm glad I was able to catch most of what I missed. Here are the first two on their page, all really funny.

City-TV superstar Charlie Demers:


Kelly "In my day" Dixon:

To watch all the other acts (minus Hutchinson, for some reason, and Dave Shumka for another reason), check out their video page. You'll see A.J. McKenzie, Paul Breau, musical act Janet Panic, Barry Greenfeld, and host Tim Rykert.

March 29: Jamie Hutchinson & Tim Rykert

What a gorgeous day. I think, just maybe, it might be the time to hang the long-johns up for the year. That's always a special day. (If you're reading this from a far-off land, don't get the wrong idea. Vancouver is barely in Canada, temperature-wise. I just like to feel snug and warm all the time.)

Speaking of special days, since our show went on the air in 2004 I've been trying to get Jamie Hutchinson on as a guest. Persistence finally paid off. He'll be joining us, along with his good buddy, and former guest, Tim Rykert. The two of them have a new room opening up at the Cellar Jazz Restaurant every Monday night. I'm looking forward to it. Fans of Corner Gas may remember Jamie as Rocket Ronnie from season one. And if you've ever seen Brent Butt live, chances are you saw Jamie open for him.

Fans of The Newsroom might remember Tim as a recurring character. Or if you've ever seen Michael Bublé in concert, chances are you saw Tim opening for the young crooner.

There you have it. That's all you need to know.
