Mike Storck zoomed into town just to speak with us. Well, and he was headlining one of the local clubs. We were so rushed, though, we had to record in the roving studio. He talked about the ethics of pranking, Star Wars, heckling, and storytelling.

Sara Bynoe is all over the Vancouver comedy scene, creating and hosting a variety of comedy shows that aren't standup, sketch or improv. We try to get to the bottom of the correct label. We also talk about the Puppy Bowl, partying clean, being Kliph Nesteroff's muse, and being creeped out by Jian Ghomeshi.

Chris James recorded this episode of What's So Funny? in one take. Impressive. He tells us about a horrifying real-life experience that he's weaved into comedy gold. And we talk a bit to his friend Vishal Ramesh, a comedian from India now living in Vancouver.

Shauna Johannesen comes to us sleep-deprived. As she should be, too. She was in the middle of a theatre run of her own play, Common Grace, and was starting work on a short film for the Crazy8s festival (which has since been completed). We talk about both those projects as well as auditioning, kids vs animals, and thievery.

Ivan Decker returns to What's So Funny? just in the nick of time. Literally. This time we discuss Bill Burr, wisdom teeth extractions, approaching industry types, observational comedy, his upcoming album, and science! He does a knock-up job.

Byron Bertram stops by the What's So Funny? studio before he takes off to Australia for a few months where he'll perform his one-man show and do some street performing. In this episode, we give him a dry shave as he talks about finding love on Tinder, the politics of accents, coming from an artistic family, playing dives, and his quest for fests.

Erica Sigurdson is the Duchess of Canadian Comedy. In this pre-Christmas episode, we brainstorm the rest of the royal line. She also talks about hitting people, doing corporate gigs, staying home instead of moving to the US, being engaged for nine years, and bombing... in Afghanistan. Plus she explains why giving is better than receiving. This episode brought to you by the Omnipod, your number one choice in Diabetic pumps. (Not really, but we're open to offers.)

Norm Macdonald will talk for as long as he's talked to. Or until there's a knock at the door. Thankfully that knock didn't come for 90 minutes so he sat talking about hypochondria, God, science, childhood memories, and comedy among other topics. Deep stuff.

Robert Kelly is a standup comic, podcaster and actor. What's worse is that he's successful in all three! But to show he's human, he's only passable on a drum kit. In this episode he talks about his need to be liked, his love of honesty, his falling away from friends after having a kid, and his mother's love of... Well, just listen.

Kate Davis has been entertaining audiences and embarrassing her children for 18 years. The Toronto standup started out as an adorable little English girl with a posh accent before moving to Canada with her cockney parents. Theatre gave way to standup and she hasn't looked back. Fun fact: Davis has been nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award 13 times (and never won)!
