Darryl Lenox passed away earlier this week. He was a guest on our show 4 times over the years, and we're going back to his first time with us waaaaay back in 2007 to rerun. He was a great one, both as a comedian and a person. He'll be missed.

It's been a tough calendar year, with the deaths of former WSF? guests Norm Macdonald and Matt Billon. We lost another one this weekend when Bob Saget passed away at the age of 65. He was a super guy and we were lucky to have him guest with us in September 2020.

Norm Macdonald was just the greatest guest... and the greatest guy. In this, our most-listened-to episode, we had a semi-serious (okay, almost completely serious) 1.5 hour conversation ranging from family to science to God to comedy to literature to death to cancer. Some of it is especially hard to listen to now that he's gone. Recorded in 2012.

Ari Shaffir

Ari Shaffir was once a pious young seminary student. Now look at him, eating bacon and turning off lights willy-nilly. Ari talks about losing his religion on this elongated episode. Other topics under discussion: a recent review of his act, faking it in stand-up, and skepticism. Lots to chew on, but it's completely kosher so don't worry.

Susan Thompson

Susan Thompson is transitioning from the spotlight to behind-the-scenes. We talk about her experience going from auto mechanic shop to the standup stage to the management/producer side of things. We also find out she's a bit of a star in Japan. And also that she's dropped about a hundred pounds. Such a life!

Brett Martin

Brett Martin returns and gets the full Sam Tonning experience. Usually when the two get together, Martin is in charge at his monthly live talk show, The Brett Martin Show, where Tonning is the Ed McMahon to his Johnny Carson. But in this episode, Sammy got to talk as much as he wants because he was also in charge of pushing all the buttons.

Taz VanRassel

Taz VanRassel returns! All alone this time. He was last with us back in 2006, with two other guests. This time he gets the hour all to himself. Or most of the the hour since he was a titch late when his regular Sunday Service show ran long. In this episode, the improviser quizzes a 14-year-old on Big Chungus, talks about performing in schools, and he reveals his favourite animal. Shout-out to Graham Clark for interviewing Taz in 2010.

Levi McCachen

Levi McCachen has commitment issues, but he manages to stick through the hour with us. He leads us through his scattershot life, where he tried university a few times (law, philosophy), film school, spoken-word poetry, and finally standup. And we spend a good chunk of time going over various conspiracy theories.

Ed Hill joins us for the third time, this time smelling of Korean BBQ. We get to the bottom of his anglo-sounding name and talk about his upcoming album recording – also coincidentally his third. And he shares with us his favourite street joke – also coincidentally the only one he knows.

We also talk about the comedic influence of Sean Collins, the joy of being a road comic, and quiz him on his wrestling bona fides.

Colin Heath

Colin Heath is a clown. No, that's not a knock on the guy. He's a professional who has toured with Cirque du Soleil all over the world and is currently at Bacio Rosso in Vancouver. He's also a playwright, artist, actor, and has even done standup comedy... once. Not only that, but he went to junior high school with our host (not that Heath remembers that).

Brittany Lyseng

Brittany Lyseng is our first guest of 2019, the start of our 15th year doing this thing. Wow. The Calgary-born-reared-based standup talks about the ups and downs of the business... the elevator and escalator business, that is. We also talk about her favourite teacher and why she won't be invited to perform at her high school (go Ghosts!). Oh yes, and comedy. We talk about that, too.

Carl Turnbull

Carl Turnbull has comedy in his blood, as you'll learn in this episode. Sidekick Sam Tonning takes over the reins, but it's not because regular host Guy MacPherson was sick, as he incorrectly stated. He just wasn't there. No further questions. Carl and Sam talk about 90 Day Fiancé, Jay &amp; Dan, school detentions, and relationship advice.

Myrehaug tells us about his standing ovation while longboarding. And we all have a grand old time.

Jay Brown and Patrick Maliha have never been friends. They're still not, but they at least came to some kind of agreement and mutual respect on this, the most awkward episode in What's So Funny? history.
