Podcast episode 402ish: Mark Friebe & Sheila Sharma

It had been a long time since Mark Friebe and Sheila Sharma visited us. They were last in studio way back in 2006. But they're so fun, I really should have them back more often. That is, if they want to make the trip in from Po-Co. That's where they own, run and star in The Giggle Dam. I described it as dinner theatre, but they're not sure what to call it. There's dinner involved, though. And sketches. And music. Like them, it's a whole lotta fun. In this
episode they told us about the fire that nearly destroyed them a few months ago. They also talked about the challenges of doing politically incorrect material – or at least the offence people take at the slightest silly reference. Also, Sheila sings all 66 books of the Bible in 43 seconds! Not bad for an atheist.

Here's the link for ya. If you don't see it, or you'd rather get this "to go," you can always download the episode on iTunes or Stitcher or wherever fine podcasts are handed out.

Sept. 27: Mark Friebe & Sheila Sharma

Just flew in from Ontario and boy are my set-ups hackneyed. Anyway, a bit late with this. But as jet-lagged as I am, we still have live guests this evening. And I'm looking forward to them. They've only visited us once before and that was way back in '06. I recently took out-of-town friends to the Giggle Dam out in quaint Port Coquitlam and I said to myself, "I need to have Mark Friebe and Sheila Sharma on the show again." Then I said it to them and they agreed. So here we are. If you're not familiar with the Giggle Dam, it's dinner theatre that doesn't quit. The crew down there entertains from the minute you walk in the door until after the show is over. The hardest-working people in all of... Port Coquitlam, at least, anyway. Maybe all of show business. Anyway, it's a ton a fun and you should check them out.

Tune in tonight to CFRO 100.5 FM in Vancouver or online at coopradio.org to get an even better sense of what it is they do.
