S6 - E8 - A Healthy Diet of Improv with Andrea Buchholz

In this episode, Sarah gets to interview one of her dear friends and learns some things about her, like what a dietitian is and how to pronounce her last name properly! Fun! Dr. Andrea Buchholz is a registered dietitian. She has been a professor of applied nutrition at the University of Guelph since 2004. When Andrea is not teaching, doing research and enjoying life as an academic, she is enjoying the other side of her brain with improv. She has studied, taught and performed comedic improv for the past 20+ years and she enjoys improv because it teaches us that it’s okay to take risks and fail. She also loves to explore and learn about fun hobbies like tap dancing and how to lift fingerprints from crime scenes. Sarah has some serious troupe-envy for Andrea’s long standing improv troup, TriCity Comedy. They perform monthly in Waterloo, Ontario.

Matt is currently a PhD student in Biomedical Sciences at the Baylor College of Medicine.

Forcing the Plateau with Dr. Ruben Rajah 

Ruben Rajah is a comedian and doctor who embodies the concept of a global citizenry. Born in Malaysia, educated in Australia, and an American citizen for over 10 years, he is culturally comfortable everywhere and nowhere. Ruben likes to keep his medical career as a radiologist separate from his life as a comedian. We talk about what is involved with keeping your left and right brain from talking to each other and how to work 9 hours a day as a radiologist and still have energy left over to head into Manhattan to hit open mics. It was fun to find a kindred spirit who can’t keep the comedian inside of him down! Loved this chat with Dr Ruben Rajah.

Judy has some feedback for you 

In this episode, we have another certified veterinary practice manager and improv afficianado, Judith Asséo. (But you can call her Judy.) Judy has a life long love of helping animals and people, which has led to a career in veterinary medicine. She is currently the Senior Director of Operations at Western Veterinary Partners. At the same time, she has been an improv performer for over 30 years and performs regularly in San Francisco as part of the Secret Improv Society. How much has improv influenced her career managing people? A lot? Are veterinarians challenging to work with as a group? Maybe. Are veterinary specialists special, but maybe not in a good way? I think we are. I loved meeting Judy and I know you will too. She is like a hot cup of tea on a cold day.

S6 - E2 - Comedy is a Tool for Power with Lynn Harris 

Lynn Harris is a comedian, journalist, novelist, political activist and story teller who is the founder of GOLD Comedy. Gold Comedy is,the comedy school, professional network, and content studio where women and non-binary folks grow their comedy careers. I know what you are thinking, but is she a doctor? Nope. She is not a health care professional. We broke the rules on this episode because Sarah just really wanted to have her on the show. We are dipping our toes into the world of other professions that do comedy. Lynn is an award-winning journalist and novelist. She is the author of six humorous fiction and non-fiction books, including Death By Chick Lit and Breakup Girl to the Rescue! Her writing on gender, culture, and a range of social issues—has appeared in The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Salon, Glamour, national newspapers, magazines, and anthologies. Lynn believes that comedy is a tool for power and she uses it to make change. I loved talking to her!!

Another season of Comedicine has come to a close! I want to sincerely thank all of our wonderful guests from season 5. It is wonderful to have you as part of our Comedicine community! As is now our tradition, this is just a tiny episode-let, a mini-epi, with a compilation of our guests’ invitations, pleas, requests and demands to Ken Jeong to be a guest on Comedicine. And yes, I know this is a long shot, but now it’s a bit, and I have to commit to it. Right now it’s win-win, either Ken agrees to be a guest (win!) or I can keep doing this bit (small win, but still a win!). Thanks for listening to Comedicine! Season 6 is coming soon and it’s fab!
