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!

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. …

MUSICAL GUESTS

This week at Red Man Laughing we wanted to really amp up the musical portion of the show so we picked THREE of the dopest artists we could find and invited them to be a part of the madness here at the podcast. This week we’re proud to present The Bastard Fairies, Indian Nick and …

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!

Last night I performed at the 2010 CBC WINNIPEG COMEDY FESTIVAL and I had a blast.  This is my first major comedy festival as a standup comic (I’ve performed in numerous Improv and Sketch comedy fests) and I’ll admit that yesterday morning was a rough morning for me.  The CBC WINNIPEG COMEDY FESTIVAL is one of Canada’s premiere comedy festivals.  Every comedian I know wants a shot to play at the festival because of the crowds, the camera’s and the general awesomeness of Winnipeg and the amazing crew of people that host the festival every year.  I’ve heard it said that it’s “a performers festival,” which simply put, your treated well, the crowds are amazing and the shows are top notch for the comics.

But yesterday, something happened.  Suddenly, every joke I’d ever written didn’t seem funny.  …

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 good ways to get exposure, interviews, etc. to get the ball rolling.  Last night …
