After a tonne of work, many hours of imagining and re-imagining what my APP would look like – it’s finally here! Together with the awesome people at LIBSYN we’ve come up with a ground breaker!

You can now pick up the “NDN CMDY” app in the iTunes Market Place ($2.99) for iPhone, iPad, iPad 2 and iPod Touch and you can grab the Android version of the APP in the Amazon Market Place ($2.99) for your Android Devices.

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. … Read More »

In this episode of Red Man Laughing we explore “the great Indian paradox,” as it pertains to art and entertainment – the question asked is “how do we in Indian Country deal with the ying and the yang of living with Traditional teachings and ideals in this contemporary society guided by capitalism. Of course, the Powwow Pickup Pimp is back, Clarence Two Toes helps a Grass Dancer get out of a pickle and we have a Clarence Two Toes standup clip from Red Lake, MN. It’s ranty, it’s angry, it’s funny and it’s a work in progress – it’s Red Man Laughing!

In this first episode I rant and rave about death and why people lose their minds when celebrities die. A new character, The Powwow Pickup Pimp,  gets introduced and gives his snaggin’ advice. You get to hear a track, my “Rapist Shark” bit, from a live show in Shakopee, MN and in this episode I break down how the podcast is going to roll out over the next few weeks. And finally, the “Life According to Clarence Two Toes” segment this week explores what “the highway” means to us Indians and Clarence Two Toes breaks down a story of lost love at the redneck fair. In closing, I give shoutouts to A Tribe Called Red, RPM.FM, Cody Bigjohn of Warpaint Clothing Company.

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.

Here are the steps to booking:

I’ll email you my phone number and we’ll talk about your event.

I make no secret about my goal of breaking into Indian Country down in the US to spread the good work of my comedy.  I’m doing well in Canada (in relative terms anyway), but, I’ve not yet broken into the market down in the States.  I want to – badly.  I have a decent following in Canada and most of my web traffic comes from Canada.  Over the past few months, after joining twitter, my comedy has become more accessible and I’ve been getting increasing numbers of emails/messages from people in the US that really dig my stuff.

I think the time will come when I’ll break through in Indian Country in the US.  I’ve done some big things here in Canada and I’ve been looking for … Read More »

I’ve been lucky enough to have done a bunch of voice work on Darrel Dennis’ CBC Radio Series, “Revision Quest”, this past couple of weeks and I’ve really been impressed by not only the staff working on it, the writing and comedy found therein, but mostly by what the series IS SAYING.  Many of the sketches are political and social in nature – taking strong stands against the system, fighting against stereotypes, and shining a bright light on the positives and the contributions Indian Peoples bring/give to the mainstream on a daily basis.

There is a poignant piece that I voiced on Friday that started with a couple of old friends that “play catch up” as they hadn’t seen each other in a long time.  The sketch opens with a line about the Native character, “becoming a lawyer, NOT a real … Read More »

a couple of weeks ago i was honoured to be a part of the cbc radio series – NDN ACTION.  i was asked by a kick ass producer, ruth shead (@ruthlesstravels on twitter), at the cbc to be a part of the series as they were profiling a handful of indian people around manitoba that are taking action to make change/create change/be the change in their communities.  it was a fantastic interview and we talked for nearly an hour about a whole bunch of different things.  i generally hate talking about myself but ruth had a sensibility and an understanding that i hadn’t experienced with the media before – a breathe of fresh air really.
