Luke Lynndale
Mathematics Teaches Us Logic. Stand-Up Comedy Breaks Logic! “Luke Lynndale is the hardest working comic I know. He inspires me everyday. His killer bits and energy are ground-breaking. When you catch Luke Lynndale live, you will never regret it. It’s a fun, silly, goofy night, a great night of funny. Comedy at its best, your face will hurt from laughing so hard. Luke Lynndale is a really funny guy.” -- Angela Maiorano-Thurston Comedian “What I admire most about Luke is that h

Ron Vaudry
Intelligent, witty and sardonic, Ron Vaudry is the thinking man's comedian. Ron is one of The originals in Canadian stand-up comedy both in terms of having been there right near the beginning and having a unique style and point of view. there were essentially three types of comedians at the time - entertainers, smart asses and silly guys. Ron was something else. He was sharp as a tack but came from a much tougher and angrier perspective than most. Ron's act was a little darke

Comedy Tip_6
The author, David Reuben, is not the most naturally talent stand-up comic. I have worked very hard over my 40 year career to become a better joke writer. Since I see life from a very dark place, I find the dark in every situation. Finding my voice was a long journey and has made joke writing easier for me.

Bill Davern
"The Steelworker Comic" In the Pre-Covid world of 2019, I had an hour-long telephone conversation with veteran Canadian Stand- Up Comic and; Documentary Filmmaker Mr. Bill Davern. Bill and the author, David Reuben, have only crossed paths a couple of times over the last 30 years, but have many friends and colleagues in common. The conversation was lively, honest, and a bit vulgar. Within 5 minutes you feel like Mr. Davern is your lifelong best friend. So how did this Hamilto

Never Be Done-The Richard Glenn Lett Story
September 5, 2022 Well it looks like the Richard Glen Lett mystery has been solved. Shane J. Davis let me know that he just saw Richard about an hour or so ago, he did suffer a mild heart attack but the reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.. He's presently checking into a recovery house and will most likely be off the grid while he regains his health Martha Chaves passed along a photo from Marty Burtwell Hopefully this is solved. #canadiancomedy #comedyfriends Ri

Comedy Tip_5
There is no perfect way to understand the theory of "Joke Writing" Some comics carry a note pad and pen, others carry a voice recorder to remember ideas.
Do you have the discipline to set a segment of time everyday to write new material? Or do you prefer to do your daily routine and write when an idea strikes you?

Renée Percy
Showbiz In My Blood In the early 2000’s many young comics started their careers in Toronto. Some of the reasons for the influx of comedy talent in Toronto were the growth of Open Mic rooms, the Humber School of Comedy and the Toronto Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club Head Office. If you had the desire a young comic could do one or more shows a night. Some of the new comics were trying to learn the craft, some were great writers, some were great performers, but one young lady stood out
