This week’s guest is Hamilton-based comedian and finder of lost engagement rings, Anthony Mlekuz. Anthony used to live down the street from me in Hamilton, and we recount a terrible incident (that turned out redemptive for him and his then-fiance) that I then tried to use to riff onstage while introducing him at a show we were on. There’s a lot of laneway talk in this episode.  We talk about our different comedy styles (me being regimented to a script, and him never really having one) and how the pandemic is likely to change how we approach standup whenever we get back to it. Anthony talks about the process of working material out on stage, and needing to be your authentic self to do so. He also talks about performing for his son and getting nothing, and details his story on being signed by Yuk Yuks.. Thanks for listening, please share, rate and review. Music by Devin Bateson.
