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.

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

A Human Cartoon Larry Smith is a road warrior that has remarkable stories. The Comedy Green Room should do an article on Larry. -- Bill Davern I usually do a one-hour interview before writing The Comedy Spotlight. With Larry the interview went two days and 5 hours in total.
