Devin Bateson joins to talk about growing up in an artistic household, validation from an older sibling, the constant search to create things, and throwing those things away just as they are starting to work for you.

David Brennan joins us from his home in Ottawa to regale with tales of running around the Hamilton comedy scene at 17 with Manolis and Jason Rouse, winning competitions, getting into clubs, and experiencing success almost immediately. He transferred those successes to a 12-year sketch and improve tour with The Imponderables, storyteller shows, and so much more. And of course we spend time discussing our mutual love for one Paul Myerhaug. Music by Devin Bateson (along with one song from David himself!).

Inspired by seeing Sinbad and George Wallace perform live at 16, Gavin Stephens started stand-up only a few years later. Gavin discusses the naive confidence that youth affords us, being prepared to drop a 30-minute set his first time out, and what it was like to be part of a cultural minority movement in the Toronto comedy scene that featured him, Russel Peters, Mista Mo, Ron Josol and others. We also discuss the common mistakes new comedians make starting out. Music provided by Devin Bateson.

The first episode of Starting Out is a practice in self-indulgence. It's just me, and my over-thinking, overly-complicated story about doing stand-up for the first time. Music by Polyester Heart.
