Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.

Sixteen months ago I was directionless.  I had moved back from London, England where I had been living and working as a missionary for six months to my home town. I decided it was time to move on to something, anything different and that meant Winnipeg. I worked as a delivery driver, made new friends, starting listening to more comedy than evert before, and felt like maybe I was turning into a person I wanted to be.  A good friend pushed me to take a hard look at myself, and move forward in life. It wasn't that I was particularly...

Photo Essay - C4 Wonderland

I had the opportunity to shoot a photo essay as part of my Journalism course. I'm still gaining experience as a photographer, so I searched online for events in Winnipeg that seemed interesting and were  within my time frame. I was elated to find that C4 Wonderland (essentially a mini version of Central Canadian Comic-Con) was on. I've...

Austin Powers Totally Holds Up

I watched all three Austin Powers movies on Netflix this weekend, and you know what I learned? They totally hold up. That's right, I threw it back and watched International Man of Mystery, The Spy Who Shagged Me, and Goldmember and they still made me laugh. These movies are silly and ridiculous, but like Airplane! (which is the most timeless...

He recorded the whole thing an it's up for free on Comedy Central's website and YouTube. Here's the first of nine episodes, the whole thing is about an hour and you should definitely watch it. ...

Bo Burnham: what

Bo Burnham's first hour-long special what has been on Netflix for around two years now and I can not think of a more fitting name for it. I started watching it when it first came out and was immediately turned off. If you're not familiar with Burnham, he first rose to popularity on YouTube as a teenager with some wholly original, if strange, comedy. I really didn't like his YouTube stuff so I was not coming into this with high hopes. I really didn't like what the first time I watched it, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why. I...
