Back in April 2011 I had the great pleasure of taking the stage with some of North America’s funniest comics that deal with and take on stereotypes head on in their acts. Tonight on CBC TV (9PM EST) the “Hystereotypes” gala from the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival is on and I can’t help but think what my Kookum (grandma) would have said to me had she been alive to see it…”you look real chubby on tv.”

Stereotypes are hysterical!  Just ask host Jason Priestley and comedians Chris Gibbs, Nile Seguin, Jimmy Tingle, Ryan McMahon, Darcy Michael, and Sherri D. Sutton.  It’s comedy that won’t be pigeonholed.

Produced by FRANTIC FILMS, JASON PRIESTLEY hosts this rip-roaring event – a one-hour television special that features some of the world’s best comedians - DON’T MISS IT!

In EP#7 of Red Man Laughing we say Chi-Miigwetch to our Aboriginal Veterans to commemorate Rememberance Day, we say hello to our old friends The Batshit Crazy Indian Conspiracy Theorest, The Really Really Deep Indian Flute Player, The Powwow Pickup Pimp is back and Clarence Two Toes tells us all about the value of family. We feature music from Old Style, Northern Straight drum group Morningstar River and we hear the ground breaking work of Montreal’s, Madeskimo (Geronimo Inutiq).

Some people have asked about Blackberry – well, let’s just say developing anything for Blackberry takes insane money and skills that I don’t have. There are rumours that the new Blackberry operating systems are going to allow for Android apps to patch over to Blackberry in the near future – so we’ll see.

This was a lot of work – I’ve done my best. …

In EP#6 of the Red Man Laughing we take on “Indian Halloween” and the great costume debate, we hear from Clarence Two Toes about why men are always in trouble, the Powwow Pickup Pimp is back, the Bat Shit Crazy Conspiracy Theorist makes his debut and we hear from a very “deep” Native American flute player.

Have jokes – will travel.  That’s the message that I’m spreading right now around Indian Country.  Last year, I was booked fairly solid in and around Christmas time – that’s when staff parties and community events get thrown to welcome the holidays with a little bit of laughter.  What was unmanageable though were the last minute requests for shows and the balancing act that came with it.

SO.

If you’re thinking about having some comedy at your event – BOOK NOW.  Traditionally, no – not “spiritually traditionally”, just, ya know, in times past, the beginning of November marks the start of the busy season.  Get your request in and we can go through the booking process.
