Julien Dionne Show

Haaye! Episode 8 is upon us and Jen Grant joins Julien in studios. Jen has an impressive resume in where her best credit is “Julien Dionne’s girlfriend”. But seriously, Jen is a 16 year veteran of the stand up game and done every major festival and TV appearance Canada has to offer. They talk about her years in the business and if that weren’t enough, Jen also spent 3 years killing it in New York, the City. Tune in as they discuss entertaining the troops in Egypt and Israel, opening for “Puppetry of the Penis” and the aggravating nature of being pigeon-holed a “female” comic.

Jen and Julien square off in a hilarious “Mariah or Yoko” segment where the listeners (that’s YOU), decide the winner.

One of the most fascinating guests joins Julien in Lemon Press Studios. Fabio Mantoan, chef, art curator, event emcee, world traveler, Mexican cartel escaper, is one interesting dude. He tells his story and you want to hear it (trust me). Hailing from Italy, now making his home in Mexico, they discuss Fabio’s career as a traveling chef, and all the sidelines that make his story so damn captivating. One story finds Fabio fleeing from Los Zetas cartel in Mexico to protect him and his family.
