Hey everybody! Not only do we have one of the best comedians, caricature artists and filmmakers on the podcast today but he is also an amazing guy and a great friend! Simon Glassman is one of the most talented comedians in Canada if not the world. Even though he is already head and shoulders above 99% of the comedians around he is always working to get better all while making movies and doing caricature gigs at the same time. To top that all of he has recently become a father and has finally settled into becoming the old man he was always destined to be! We riff about comedy, parenthood, Napoleon…. Okay actually a lot of napoleon lol. It is never a dull moment talking with the great Simon Glassman and this podcast is no different, go check him out on Instagram @simon_glassass and support anything he has going on, you will not regret it! 

Also come see me do comedy! @themoonyeg has shows almost every night of the week and we would love to see you there :) 

Got an amazing solo episode today chalked full of new and exciting news! We finally accomplished something that has been months in the making. We have set up a live studio recording space at the moon to start recording podcasts and starting next week you can come watch me record podcasts live! This is something I’ve wanted since I first started podcasting almost 4 years ago and I couldn’t be more excited about it! 

Also we have some other exciting news to report! Tonight I will be competing in the comic strips comedy competition so if you wanna see me get me get torn apart by judges come through lol. Also this Friday instead of competing with the oilers game we are going to do a watch party at the moon and people can come smoke some weed and watch me live and die on every play! Then we will do comedy after the game ends which will vastly impact my emotional state and should be hilarious either way! 

Come on out and join us! 

Hey sexy bitches, yall miss me?! I've had waaaay too many people over the last two weeks bug me about how much they miss the podcast and gosh dang it i've missed it!  I talked all about these last few months of comedy and how things have been going as well as cryptically hinting at some very exciting new things to come.  I love this podcast so much and I will never stop but I don't think I even truly realized how hard it has been to let it fall onto the back burner.  So not only is there more amazing comedy thigns coming down the pipe to compliment the amazing shows we are already running but I'm going to make it my goal to get consistent with this podcast so you can continue to take this journey with me.  I love every one of you and i'm so thankful for your patience xoxox.

Come on out to the best Comedy shows in Edmonton every Friday at @themoonyeg for @trishs.asylum, the Gen Pop open mic and the Panopticon.  I promise you will not have more fun anywhere else in this city on a friday!

We back baby! After a long 2 month hiatus the VonDubCast is back with a solo episode to let you know why I’ve been so quiet on the podcast front as well as everything i've been up to since you last heard from me.  I talk about these magical last few months and all the amazing things that have happened and a little bit about what’s to come in the future. I know a lot of you reached out when the podcast went quiet and I appreciate every one of you but just know that this podcast dream will never die and the VonDubCast ain’t going NOWHERE! It might be a little more sporadic until I find some help to make it what it was always meant to be but I’ll be dropping episodes here and there to keep you in the loop! 

Meanwhile the comedy game is booming!!! I’ve been performing all over Alberta, performing in theatres, my Friday show is the best show around and I’m middling at the comic strip this weekend! If you haven’t come out and experienced the magic of live stand up comedy hit me up and get in the mix!

You know what we haven't had on the podcast for a while?  A good ol' fashion bullshit with the homie.  Today we got the young king Brandon Peters on the cast to talk some shit and cracks some jokes. Brandon is one of the fastest rising comedians in Edmonton and he also has an amazing podcasts of his own called the Brandon Peters podcast.  He is a super talented kid and he is going to do some big things so come get to know him before he hits it big!

We are back with another amazing conversation with my friend Shawna Murphy! You can hear her entire journey through the ups and downs of life that led her to where she is today.  She and her amazing group are about to put on the most badass pop up shop in Leduc from Dec 2-17 at 5906 50th st and all the vendors stand for freedom not only of choice but of voice and so much more.  The entire event is put on by brave people who stand behind their products as strongly as they do their values and I personally love to support anyone who has that bravery this day in age.  If you can't make it out to Leduc they also have the shops online at www.thesovereignshop.ca and all vendor hours and information is there as well! 

I really enjoyed getting to talk opnely and honestly wiht someone else who experienced what the last few years were like if you spoke up about what you were seeing aroudn you and I think this conversation will make more people feel like they can share their experience as well.

Please follow Shawan at @shawnamariemurphy as well as their business page @thrivingoversurvivingevents and let her know you loved the podcast!

Today we have one of the Edmonton comedy scenes brightest rising stars, and she is one cool rat let me tell ya! It was fascinating to hear the experience of starting comedy from the lens of someone who has done a lot of performing in other arenas beforehand.  It's nice to know that the sheer terror of doing stand up does not fade with experience in other stagecrafts!  Katie is currently running an amazing show called The Rat Academy and it has already made major waves at the Edmonton and Vancouver Fringe festivals (among many others!) and is going all the way to Orlando next year!  Take a listen to hear more about what this show is all about and what makes it so special and then grab your tickets asap!  Katie has the most unique bright energy and it is a joy to take in whether its on the theatre stage or in a comedy club and you are doing yourself a disservice every day you go without seeing her!

Follow Katie at @katie_yoner_ as well as her show @the_rat_academy now!

And come see my show at @themoonyeg this Thursday at 8pm it's going to be extra wild!

I just got back early last night from Austin Texas and that may have been the greatest trip of my life! From seeing Shane Gillis, Bryan Simpson, Matt McCusker (and countless others) at the @comedymothership before going back in for another show as @Brianholtzman 's guest! (could not have been nicer) Got within inches of Joe Rogan sat with some huge comics and even had Shane Gillis watching the show right beside me! Then I got to go into the green room at redbans club, take another swing at killtony, watched the roast battle at the creek and the cave and so much more! I also went to my first music festival and had honestly the best time of my life! Got to see Of The Trees and Zeds Dead for the second time as well as Ganja White Knight and a ton of new Dj’s I’ll be a fan of for life! The crew we were with could not have been better and we met so many new friends I can’t wait to reunite with! I can't believe I poo poo'ed raving for so long when I was so clearly meant for it but I will rectify that by dancing my heart out every chance I get for the rest of my life!

I’m sick as a dog and my head feels like mashed potatoes but it was all worth it and I can’t wait to do it again! 

As always come check out @trishs.asylum this Thursday! The lineup is off the chain and we have some special surprises in store for gen pop so you don’t want to miss it!
