Podcast episode 389ish: Mark B. Hughes & Jason Kryska

Here's an episode with a couple of raw dogs: Mark Hughes and Jason Kryska. These bad boys perform comedy that tilts toward the dark, but their backstories couldn't be more different. Jason has lived a button-down life and been married for 18 long years; Mark has overcome a heroin and cocaine addiction that landed him ten years in the slammer. Another difference? Hughes has performed comedy in the nude (and will again on June 13 at 303 Columbia in Exposed!: A Night of Naked Comedy), whereas Jason doesn't even like to see himself naked, let alone anyone else seeing him. The two are the creators of Comedy Shocker and they're putting on another show July 4 at the Rickshaw called Downward Spiral. Check it out. No nudity in that one. Not planned, anyway.

May 17: Mark B. Hughes & Jason Kryska

Put the kids to bed early tonight. We've got a couple of comics on who love to push boundaries. Not sure what boundaries will be pushed tonight on the radio, but they for sure will be doing that at the Comedy Shocker presents: Downward Spiral at the Rickshaw Theatre on July 4. It's a tripe-X show but we'll knock at least one of the X's off for our show tonight. Mark B. Hughes is, by his own admission, a "bad boy" with the drugs, alcohol and willingness to do crime removed. And Jason Kryska is billed as "fat and dirty." His words, not mine. He's kinda new to Vancouver, I hear. I've never met either of these fine gentlemen so I'll learn along with you tonight.

We're on the air at 11 pm on CFRO 100.5 FM. If you're not near a radio, listen online at coopradio.org or TuneIn Radio.
