Podcast episode 311ish: Karen O'Keefe

When Toronto-based stand-up comic Karen O'Keefe made her first professional foray into Vancouver, we felt we had to commemorate the occasion with an appearance on What's So Funny? In this episode, I learned more about the Northwest Territories, where she grew up, than I knew before, which, granted, wasn't a lot to begin with. We also got to the bottom of her issue with men, figured out what celebrities she looks like, and cross-referenced a checklist of red-head traits even though she's just an "enhanced" ginger.

That's all you need to get started. Now go to it. You can also download the episode on iTunes if your druthers prefer.

Mar. 31: Karen O'Keefe

Happy Easter. I've got to work off this sugar high, so the show is a go tonight. Karen O'Keefe is in town and will make her What's So Funny? debut tonight. In fact, it was O'Keefe's first ever working weekend in Vancouver, so what better way to commemorate this auspicious occasion than with an appearance on Canada's favourite comedy-based radio show-slash-podcast? (I figure if I describe it that way, it might come true.) What do I know of Ms. O'Keefe? I know she lives in Toronto, got started in Alberta, and grew up in one of the territories. I know she went to Catholic school. I know she's a tall drink of water. And if I'm wrong on any of those, we'll find out tonight.

Amen.

So join us, will ya? It's a holiday tomorrow, kind of. Live a little on a Sunday night. We're on the air from 11(ish) to midnight(ish) PST on CFRO, 100.5 FM, in Vancouver. If you're far, far away, you can always livestream the show at coopradio.org. And if you absolutely can't tune in tonight, the episode will be available as a podcast next week(ish).
