Joe Avati called it in on this episode. Literally. This "classic" lost show dates back to 2005 and was recently found while going through the vaults. The Italo-Aussie comic became our first phone guest on this 40th edition of What's So Funny? We also played clips from Emo Philips, Frank Spadone, Ray Romano and Avati himself.

Richard Lett returns to Vancouver kinder and gentler from his new home in Toronto for his sixth appearance on What's So Funny? He discusses his newfound sobriety and what led him to it.

Bill Reiter crawls out from the Sasquatch cave to talk about his legendary career. Along the way I surprise him with a biographical fact, he lays a smackdown on the Air Farce from his vantage point in Dr. Bundolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show, and reveals what Biff learned from Bart before the big Zig Zag feud. And Bill supplies some lyrics to the What's So Funny? closing theme.

Sam Easton returns after a six-year absence and talks about his transition from man-child to man-man, his relationship with the late Irwin Barker (draw your own conclusions) and who's the most disappointing famous comedian he's ever seen.

James Danderfer adds a touch of class to the show. The jazz clarinetist recounts his days working with a very famous comedian on a cruise ship and claims jazz has a sense of humour. We also listen to clips from Paul F. Tompkins, the Fast Show, Martin Mull, Mike Storck, Bill Burr and the Mighty Boosh.

Kyle Bottom is specially selected by special co-host Scott McLean to guest on What's So Funny? Kyle talks about bombing (figuratively) and almost dying (literally) while Scott relives his magical ten hours with podcaster extraordinaire Paul F. Tompkins.

The Comedy Round-Table reconvenes with Chuck Byrn, Dylan Rhymer, Steve Bays and Toby Hargrave. Is Vancouver a No Fun City? How superstitious are performers? What comedy legend doesn't deserve legend status? Who are some comedic guilty pleasures? We discuss all this and more, and throw in some podcast recommendations to boot.

Steve Bays took time out from his busy rock-n-roll lifestyle (he's the lead singer of Hot Hot Heat) to jam with his favourite comedy podcast. He tells us what Letterman and Kimmel are really like and who the funniest musician he's met is.

A double-whammy: Lisa Lampanelli chats on the phone from NYC about the right way of being mean, and Chris Porter weighs in on alt-comics and hipster rooms. Two for the price of none!

Sunee Dhaliwal called five minutes before airtime saying he'd be late. Car trouble was the excuse, which I doubted, and said so, not knowing Sunee was listening on his drive to the studio. So he calls in to defend his honour and most of the show is done over the phone, but he arrives with 15 minutes to spare. Warning: there's lots of basketball talk but we also talk about him opening for Jo Koy and Charlie Murphy, he talks smack about Ivan Decker, and explains how Graham Clark saved his life.
