Podcast episode 362ish: Kevin Banner

Here you go, duckies. Kevin Banner made his triumphant return to What's So Funny? last week. He's had a good year, which we talk about. It hasn't gone to his head, either. Au contraire, judging from our conversation. What else did we talk about? Let's see... being special, his ugly tattoo, cool comedians, Robin Williams, supportive family, the Drewski Dictionary, and, of course, wrestling.

Oct. 19: Kevin Banner

The triumphant return of standup comic Kevin Banner happens tonight. Kevin made his first appearance on What's So Funny? in 2012. Since he's gone on to be featured in The Georgia Straight and open for his hero Norm Macdonald at the Vogue Theatre, we thought it's time he returned. Thankfully, he agreed. When he's not playing strip poker with Garrett Clark, the big boss man from Sooke loves his wrestling. But he's also really funny, which is a wonderful trait for a professional comedian, I think you'll agree.

We are on the air at 11 pm PST on CFRO, 100.5 FM, in Vancouver. If that doesn't suit you, try livestreaming us at coopradio.org. You'll find that works, too.

Podcast episode 298ish: Kevin Banner

Sooke's own Kevin Banner made his What's So Funny? debut last week. We talked about his lady-soft hands, travelling with giant novelty cheques, going undefeated between the ropes in pro wrestling, and being snubbed by a comedy hero. It was a solid first effort for the kid. I'm sure we'll see him on the show again.

Not only was it his first time on, the episode is the first one I've posted on my fancy new computer. Turns out it's something called an m4a rather than an mp3. But it works from my end. If you find a difference, let me know. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy. Hell, lean forward if you must. Or even walk about. However you choose to listen, though, you'll enjoy. Click below or go find it on iTunes. You know how to do it.




If that doesn't work, for sure it will work by following this link: Yeah, this one that's highlighted.

Nov. 25: Kevin Banner

I'm a bit late posting this today but I've been running around all over the lower mainland and, well, I'm not that organized. Forgive me. Tonight's guest is a first-timer and homeboy. Actually, I think he's from Sooke, but we're all island people. I first saw Kevin Banner at Laffline's a year or two ago when he was competing in a Bite-TV competition. "How good can he be? He's from Sooke," I thought. No disrespect intended but I didn't know of any other Sooke comics. Turns out he was pretty good. And is even better now. He recently broke free from the island and moved to the big city. We'll see how that's going tonight. Talk to you then. 11 pm PST. 100.5 FM. Livestream at coopradio.org.
