Podcast episode 314ish: Shaun Majumder

Breaking new ground with this podcast episode, folks. The hilarious Shaun Majumder has done standup in clubs and theatres all over the place, he's been on tons of TV shows as a regular, and acted in movies but until this show he'd never done a podcast before. I guess he was just waiting for the right vehicle. Glad he chose What's So Funny? to break into the podcasting world.

His agile and improv-trained mind made this a lively chat as we sat in an empty Comedy MIX showroom one afternoon. We talked about all sorts of things, from his obvious desire to become the premier of Newfoundland (which he denies, as all politicians would), to getting critiqued by Mike Bullard and Ron Vaudry, from the soul-sucking world of auditions to getting fired from Ellen DeGeneres' sketch show, which begat his unbridled optimism.

Have a listen. You won't be disappointed. Click below or go download the thing at iTunes (where you'll dutifully give the show a 5-star rating, I know).

May 5: Shaun Majumder

We've got a(n) historic episode of What's So Funny? tomorrow night (or Sunday, May 5, to make it clearer). Yesterday afternoon (i.e. Friday) I sat down with Shaun Majumder and recorded an hour of fun conversation as only Majumder can deliver. Why historic, you ask? Because this Canadian comedy veteran has never done a podcast before. Can you believe it? I guess he's been too busy with all his other projects: touring Canada with his stand-up act, producing and starring in the reality series Majumder Manor, writing movie projects for himself and his lovely bride Shelby Fenner, acting in any prime time TV series with numbers in the title, like Detroit 1-8-7 and 24 in the US, or This Hour Has 22 Minutes in Canada. But he made time for us. We're glad to have popped his podcast cherry.

So tune in at 11 pm PST for this unique experience. We're at 100.5 FM in Vancouver, or you can livestream us at coopradio.org. And if those options aren't to your liking, wait a week and you can download the podcast on iTunes.
