More Canadian radio; Interview w/Brian McKim!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 26th, 2005

After recently plugging Laugh Tracks in a Nov. 2 posting, we received an email from Guy MacPherson, plugging his radio show!

Well, as long as you’re on the subject of Canadian radio, let me plug my own show. It’s called What’s So Funny? on CFRO 102.7 FM in Vancouver on Sunday nights from 11 to midnight (PST), and at
http://www.coopradio.org/listen/ on your fancy computers. It’s a comedy discussion show. Each week we have a guest from the world of comedy (mostly standup, but also sketch, improv, screenwriters, etc.) and talk for an hour commercial-free. We usually play two or three comedy cuts in the hour. Our November lineup featured Jay Brown, John Beuhler, Sarah Silverman and Rachael DesLauriers. In December, we’ve got the king of Canadian comedy, Brent Butt (date TBA).

Fortunate are those Canadian comics and those Canadian comedy fans– There’s no shortage of media types willing to treat the art of standup seriously enough to stake out perfectly good radio airtime for the purpose of interviewing comedians!

We’re familiar with Mr. MacPherson from many meetings in Montreal at the JFL fest. (And from sweating alongside him during that festival’s Industry/Artists basketball scrim, adds the Male Half!) Mr. McPherson even managed to record an interview with the Male Half of the Staff at the most recent JFL, a brief encounter at the exhausted, boozy end of an evening late in the week. See the transcript of that here.
