The Movie Jerks – The Anne Frank of Podcasts

Danny is very special.

Danny Martinello – A Bad Kid

The Quik & Slow Comedy Show is out of the basement this week and proud to have the very special guest, Danny Martinello. Danny is a live wire with a short attention span and almost no filter. He is energetic and uproariously funny!

Once a self-proclaimed ‘bad kid’, Martinello turned his life around in the tenth grade after a run in with a bully’s fist. After finding his bearings in performing arts, he was offered a full-ride scholarship for acting. He turned down that offer in order to pursue his passion for improv and stand-up comedy.

Danny recants the tales that helped his life find focus including setting a playground on fire one afternoon, getting kicked out of elementary and high school, cleaning a hamster, and his successful audition for the Groundlings; an L.A. based theater group that preps young improvisers for Saturday Night Live.

Nick, Aaron and sound engineer, Sam Aquadollars, are joined by last week’s guest, Matt Labucki, social media intern and artist, Jamee Nall, and a short visit by Edmonton’s oldest, living hairless cat, Nathan Semenyna.

Danny Martinello – A Bad Kid

First most handsome comic in Edmonton, Matt Labucki.

Matt Labucki – 2nd is Last in Comedy

The most handsome comedian in all of Edmonton and all-around germaphobe, Matt Labucki, drops in this week on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show. He is just in time, too, because the basement flooded with shit! Matt hates that. It looks like old Nick McQuik‘s pipes backed up and the line couldn’t handle his load of dirty poop water. It also smelled like Aaron‘s breath and was as soft to touch as the soggy hair-flesh he calls his abs. Not to worry, though. Disaster is averted when Quik & Slow innovative prowess is activated and the show is moved upstairs.

This is the first episode to be recorded in the light of day…and what a day it becomes! Labucki shares his seemingly infinite wisdom on the subjective nature of comedy contests, explains how to turn a bad room around in one set, and what it’s like starting up in comedy in three different cities. Most important, is Matt outlines how George Lucas went from being a genius to a big piece of shit. This show has it all!

Aaron and Nick are joined by the maniacal heretics of Nathan Semenyna, the lovely company of media intern, Jamee Nall, our director of all things sound related, Sam Watterworth, and the early arrival of next week’s guest, Danny Martinello.

The whole team here at the Quik & Slow Comedy Show hope listeners enjoy this episode and want to thank everyone for tuning in! Enjoy.

Go see Matt June 11th – 15th opening for Mike Brody at the Comic Strip in the West Edmonton Mall!

Brandi CK La Perle can eats meat.

Brandi CK La Perle – Dropped a Tranny on the Way

This week, the Quik & Slow Comedy Show features comedienne, Brandi CK La Perle. Nick, Aaron, sound engineer, Sam Watterworth, and media intern, Jamee Nall, are blown out of their seats in this episode after Brandi reveals how battling for laughs in stand up comedy helps her cope with the debilitating pain of endometriosis; a disease where the lining inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. Yikes!

Raising awareness for endometriosis is not her only pursuit, however. La Perle goes on to tell about the one time at Denny’s when she prolapsed her rectum. Whoops!

After spilling her guts, Brandi expands on her certification in giving fellatio, growing as a person by living outside what’s comfortable, and a comedy road trip to Red Deer that left an old tranny dead on the side of the road.

The folks here in studio agree this is one of the funniest episodes produced! Enjoy.

Brandi will be featured on Julie Chang’s Fertility Revolution Podcast later this month.

She will also be performing June 1st at Western Canada Fashion Week at the Luxx official model party. This event is open to the public. Find pertinent information at Brandi’s website and help the endometriosis cause at brandicklaperle.wix.com

Celeste Lampa – Don’t Tell People You’re Pregnant

This week on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show, Nick and Aaron and their brand new sound engineer, Sam Watterworth, are joined by the funny and sweet comedienne, Celeste Lampa. Celeste is a mother of two who, before parenthood, was slinging jokes for nearly three years. After rearing her youth, she has recently made a triumphant return to comedy full of gusto! This episode is loaded with hilarious anecdotes and awesome information for comedians who deal with balancing ambition with real life. Celeste talks about performing in a swinger’s club, the most opportune time to drink as a comic, and striking a balance between meeting comedy goals and raising a family. The folks at the Quik & Slow Comedy Show know listeners are going to appreciate Celeste and all her talents. Thanks for stopping by!

Matt Alaeddine is back on this episode of the Quik & Slow Comedy Show. During his interview, Nick, Aaron, Brett, Jamee, Shawn, JP and Mark put Alaeddine on trial. In the process, they uncover some juicy stories that are just too good to throw out. This one is a collection of some of the anecdotes that Matt and the gang tell that didn’t quite fit in the standard format. Nonetheless, these are fantastic tales about Matt‘s dangerous tango with sandwiches, CJSR and the Comedy Clubhouse, Edmonton’s push-up Man, the picture of Jamee‘s boobs and lots more! The whole crew at the Quik & Slow Comedy Show think listeners are going to enjoy!

Matt currently lives in British Columbia but originated from Edmonton. Credited as the co-parent of the Edmonton alternative comedy scene, Matt’s style does not pander to anyone. He does what he likes and in these shows listeners are going to hear all about it. From circus tricks in Iceland, Fringe shows that went awry, and a story about Doug Stanhope that is so spicy it may or may not be real. You be the judge.

Jason Cooper convention.

Jason Cooper – A Jason Cooper Convention

This week’s guest on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show is none other than Jason Cooper. “Which one?” you ask. Well, Aaron Maslow and Nick Nack McQuack try to determine that very question by asking Jason Cooper who he is. In the process, they accidentally unlock the secret to internet anonymity which is to share the same name as the other ten million Jason Coopers.

This JC doesn’t need to be nailed to a cross to know what’s funny. He is an avid fan and accomplished performer of stand up. Even though he loves comedy, he believes that listening to too much of another comic affects his delivery. After several years in the joke game, Jason Cooper is well on his way to achieving his goal of doing stand up for a living. That is just as soon as he puts together a few more bikes. His writing process is to think shit up and then say it. His favorite drug is hope and love. He is from Nova Scotia. Jason Cooper likes basketball.

Jason Cooper stands apart from the rest with his dry repartee and snappy jabs. He even addresses the painfully obvious fact that the hosts of this show have no chemistry together even after playing a competitive rendition of the Newlywed Game. Stick around. This week’s episode is fun and exciting and listeners are going to love it!

Nick and Aaron are joined in studio by guest producer, Simon Gorsak; intern, Jamee Nall; and last week’s comedian and future senator, Kerry Unger.

Kerry Unger – The B Team

This week on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show, the dudes are joined by seventeen-year veteran of comedy, Kerry Unger. Kerry once crushed a paint can with his spine and lived in Korea for three years. Koreans don’t even do that. On this episode, Unger talks about the woes of doing corporate comedy during the Christmas season and the benefits of DMT. He loves basketball and unranks his roommate, Jason Cooper, on his list of best friends. Recently, Kerry lost respect for chickens when, after helping kill a few, they didn’t seem to mind. Kerry is always debating walking away from stand up, but will never leave as long as Jamee Nall is in the game. He is going to crush her like a paint can.

Nick and Aaron are helped out in studio by Simon Gorsak, Jason Cooper and Jamee Nall. Stay tuned and enjoy this wonderful episode!

Kerry cancelled his Twitter. He is on Facebook, but you won’t find him. He doesn’t have a website. The only place to find him on the internet is here.

Charles Haycock is getting older.

Charles Haycock – Painting A Perfectly False Image

Comedian, Charles Haycock, joins Aaron and Nick this week on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show. Charles, who is a young upstart with the tenacity and discipline of seven Barack Obamas, is scared to death of one Nick McQuiks. Sit tight on this episode as it takes some gentle prompting from the hosts before Haycock comes alive, er, less not-dead, maybe? Once his modesty fades, however, he outlines the process of writing and testing jokes and how a lady once bought him a latte for not smiling enough.

Sitting in this week are elfish war-nymph, Clare Belford, and a mint-condition relic from the War of 1812, Shawn Gramiak.

As a child, Charles and his family immigrated from South Africa to Canada in order to find better opportunities. Weeks later, he found that opportunity in stand up comedy. At just 20-years-old, Haycock has developed a beautiful command over his comedic voice. His strong writing ability and unique sense of delivery makes him a favorite among audiences and comics alike.

In this episode, Charles dishes and gabs about, well, nothing really. His claptrap is tighter than a honey eating clam. Leave it to Clare to be the first to bring up blow jobs while Aaron tries his best at a South African accent. The trick is not to try. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Follow Charles on the street or Facebook. Or go see him. Charles is middling for Bryan Callan at the Comic Strip in the West Edmonton Mall May 15-18.

Clare Belford, not an elf.

Clare Belford – Bring Down the Umbilical Nubbin’

This episode of the Quik & Slow Comedy Show features comedienne and host of the world famous Empress Comedy Night, Clare Belford. Clare joins the boys including Nick, Aaron, Charles Haycock and, Father Time’s handsome uncle, Shawn Gramiak for a rinse-cycle spin in the podcast machine. This installment of the show is insightful and witty as Clare explains the motivators and goals informing her comedy life.

Belford’s success in comedy comes from her natural writing style and ability to unite audiences with graceful manipulation of social expectation. Take that societal mores and laws of conduct. Clare has always had the ability to make people laugh and always will. Always.

After encouragement from her less unsuccessful, older, comedian brother, Clare has carved her own name into the side of the Edmonton comedy circuit. In just one year’s time, she realized a sense of herself onstage, writing true-to-life stories about her character, “Clare”, opening an impressive comedy room at the Empress Ale House, and even taking her act on the road to places all over the place. It seems that nothing can get in her way; not Nick, not Aaron, and not even old, stiff-ankles himself, Nick.

Belford puts the Clare in “clairvoyance” this week by shedding light on what it takes to be a good comic. Ironically, it’s weed. Listeners should dig in for another fantastic comedy driven comedic tell-all by comedians on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show!

Jamee Nall represents gift.

Jamee Nall – It’s Dexatrim Part 2

In this episode of the Quik & Slow Comedy Show, Jamee Nall joins Nick and Aaron alongside Nathan Semenyna, Mark McCue and Shawn Gramiak for the conclusion of her interview. Things get weird for a while and then boring when Nathan starts talking. Leave it to Aaron and Nick to save the day on this wonky ride through the Lower South District (LSD) of Podcast City.

Jamee tries explaining her comedy goals while she is bombarded with questions from the peanut gallery about her life as a human being. As she answers in a terrifyingly honest way, she realizes that everything is becoming the greatest. Nobody can quite give Mark a compliment. No one is certain why Shawn is in the room. And no one asks the best question of all which is if Nathan will shut the fuck up.

This episode is fun and crazy all at the same time. The cast of the Quik & Slow Comedy Show hope that listeners enjoy.

Jamee Knows All

Jamee Nall – It’s Dexatrim Part 1

Jamee Nall joins Aaron and Nick this week on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show for an episode so grand, it has two parts. In the first edition, the gang including stowaway from last week, Mark McCue, rage-enraged, denim jacket aficionado, Nathan Semenyna, and, Shawn ‘the Insaniac’ Gramiak, assist in turning this show into a spectacle. The real fun begins when Nall reveals the myriad of prescription drugs in her purse are enough for the whole team.*

Jamee has been performing stand up for six months but attests she has been practicing comedy her whole life. She draws inspiration from the ‘Kids in the Hall’ (especially her godfather of comedy, Bruce McCullough) and the incessant mania she calls ADHD.

In this first of two episodes, Jamee tries to quiet the voices while she talks about the first joke she told on stage and her job at Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club; then she arm-wrestles Mark as the others in studio test the strength of her meds. Stick around after the interview for some excellent clips off the cutting room floor.

This is another wonderful episode. Everyone at the podcast hope listeners enjoy the hysteria because it is great! Stay tuned for part two early next week when things get really weird!

Mark McCue – This Is A Story That Does Not Make Me Look Cool At All

This week on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show, Nick, Aaron along with shout-master supreme, Nathan Semenyna, speak to comedian Marcus (Mark) Robert McCue. In five years of comedy, Mark has been active for two. McCue’s persona is revealed as the hosts uncover his overt nerd-rage with their nonstop criticism of his existence. It becomes clear that Mark is in on the fun which creates the most hilarious conversation the podcast has ever had!

It doesn’t take a flying candy bar to the face for today’s guest to show himself. McCue’s shirt comes off early as push comes to shove. Aaron is off his rocker. Nathan can’t stop yelling. And, Nick is there, too. There are laughs every minute as the team discuss Mark and Nick‘s opinions on comedy in Entwistle, Alberta, spreads of eagle, Mark’s new body issues, and a host of other comedy gems listeners will want to hear over and over.

Mark McCue started his comedy career at an open-stage in Nelson, British Columbia where he learned he wasn’t good. After wrestling with several disappointing performances, he hung up his hat. Mark was called back to the stage when he was invited to perform in an exclusive comedy event in front of a packed auditorium. He fell in love with the laughter and continues to pursue it.

You do not want to miss this episode! Not only is it funny as all get out, but next week’s guest Jamee Nall pops in to say, “Hi.” Also, the audio is now audible thanks to the help of the guest sound engineer, Nathan Semenyna. Have a good listen and let us know what you think.

Neil Rhodes – Met A Girl In Thunder Bay

This special edition of the Quik & Slow Comedy Show is devoted to the fun-sized, Neil Rhodes. Neil joins Aaron, Nick, Hilton, Simon Gorsak and, pop-culture aficionado, Welby Santos for a stint in the “rape basement”. Don’t let the name trick you. It is more of a cellar. Neil is an eleven-year-veteran of the joke game.

Looking for more stage time, the always agreeable Neil hit the road for Alberta from Toronto on advice from a friend who did not move. In his time, he has learned that living with comedians is both real and unreal. Justin Littlechild, if you are out there, pay Neil the $400 you owe him you piece of shit.

In addition to expelling stand up knowledge, Neil expands on his favorite kind of porn, the least winnable set he has ever had, and a girl he met in Thunder Bay. This one is a hoot and the whole crew down here at the podcast hopes you enjoy it!

Simon Gorsak is glad it’s plaid.

Simon Gorsak – Won’t Be Censored

Simon Gorsak is this week’s featured comedian on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show. Simon is a visionary who always has something in the works despite his self-heralded laziness. He runs the outstanding Underdog Comedy Show with cohort and tickle buddy, Brett McCrindle. He is a veteran of Edmonton’s popular Fringe Festival and is currently planning unique comedy shows for the summer season.

In this episode, Simon explains to Aaron, Nick and hold-over from last week, Welby Santos, how acting in plays stoked his long-time passion for stand up comedy. In just over a year of performing, he has developed a style of story telling that leads to captivating romps of romance gone awry, the comedy show from hell and his job as a garbage man.

Simon is inventive and inviting. He appreciates the art of comedy and refuses to be censored. His goal is to be respected in the comedy community. His ongoing pursuits and openness have made him a leader among his peers.

Enjoy the show!

Welby Santos

Welby Santos – Inside Joke Podcast

This week on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show, Nick and Aaron along with special guest, Simon Gorsak, speak with Welby Santos in the basement. Welby has been a stand up comedian since the 1990s and has seen many changes in the world around him. He reminisces about the way things used to be and how his style has adapted over that time.

This episode walks the line of wow and whoa. During this show, Welby reacts to a racist YouTube comment that attacks the wrong race, talks about Mexican comics mistaking him for one of their own, and which is his favorite school shooting (TBD). We find out for sure which ethnicity eats dog and why it is important to watch new comedians die on stage (figuratively, of course).

Welby also tells tale of his most cherished time in comedy traveling to Los Angeles. LA is where he has worked with and befriended some of Hollywood’s finest entertainers and learned how to be a better comedian in a sea of talent.

Welby is a vibrant person whose hard opinions have defined his brand of humor. Although he has been through the ringer, he refuses to give up the thing he loves most. He is unapologetic and wildly funny. Aaron and Nick are thrilled Welby could share all of his comedic experiences and let you in on the joke for this podcast.

JP Fournier – The First Joke I Writ

This week’s guest on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show is the unrestricted JP Fournier. JP has been performing his sassy brand of comedy for twelve years. He has a guitar in his act that he holds but doesn’t play. He imitates a Muppet. He is also the brain-child and co-host (alongside Shawn Gramiak) of Edmonton’s best podcast two years running, The Movie Jerks. He is a real treat

In this episode, JP explains to Aaron, Nick, Hilton and special guest, Nathan Semenyna, how his first-class ride on the joke train derailed after realizing that the fun of stand up can fade when it becomes a full time job. After taking a step back, Fournier has found a renewed passion for singing and slinging dick jokes. For JP, success is measured in how much he enjoys the shows he performs.

The whole gang hopes you enjoy this show. Feel free to post a comment if there is anything you like or hate about the podcast. Thanks for tuning in!

Nathan was fun before we knew him.

Nathan Semenyna – Comedy Prevents Suicide aka Chair Breaker

The Quik & Slow Comedy Show features the rambunctious and surly comic, Nathan Semenyna. In his act, he often plays the heel, an odious rebel. Off the stage, however, he’s much worse. This week, the boys in the basement let Nathan interview himself, shit on the show and endlessly plug his Twitter handle, @skinnysemi.

Nathan, a blossoming flower, is a six year comedy monster with a full head of steam. Not much more is known about Nathan except the things bringing him comfort in his life are a girlfriend he claims to have and his one hundred seventy Twitter followers (@skinnysemi). He also thinks the show is terrible. He enjoyed himself before the show (got drunk) at the Rack which has horrible online reviews. Nick breaks a chair during the show and Nathan gets booed twice. He even scares away the always positive, Dave Rae.

After describing the studio and telling about the day he’s had, Nathan finally shines light on his comedy life. Semenyna performs stand up comedy to prevent suicide. The gang over here at the Quik & Slow Comedy Show thinks you, the patient and sympathetic listener, will agree, Nathan has a lot to live for…his 100+ Twitter followers (@skinnysemi).

Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoy the show.

Dave Rae

Dave Rae – No Physical Skills

Like oil and water fowl, Christianity and comedy don’t usually mix. This week’s comedian on the Quik & Slow Comedy Show, Dave Rae, disagrees and shows Aaron and Nick exactly how a religious man can make people laugh in a good way.

Dave Rae is a comedian of nearly two years and is a riot to watch. Outside of stand up comedy, Dave teaches the youth at his church that they can be whatever he wants them to be. He writes and performs sketches and received a drama degree after all the good degrees were taken.

Rae’s background of churchy funnyman is a refreshing alternative to the ample supply of nonsecular halfwits making it in this comedy era. If he has a downside, it’s that he didn’t like this week’s mystery food, tamales. (A note to listeners, always take off the corn husk before eating.) Dave is a delight and offers advice on what to do with your life when you have no physical skills.

Kelly Soloduka charms pants on.

Kelly Soloduka – Wheelchair Man is Worse

On the Quik & Slow Comedy Show this week, Aaron and Nick along side sound engineer, Hilton Patton, speak with the hysterical and perceptive Kelly Soloduka. Kelly, a ten-year veteran of comedy, is transitioning his game from just a hobby to more than just a hobby. He shows that taking his comedy career to the next level requires confidence, stamina and the ability to sell your name.

Soloduka started in stand up after learning that the stage is a useful tool for revenge. His not-giving-a-fuck mentality is tempered only by his philosophy that doing well means a comedian should be palatable to an audience*.

This episode is chocked full of funny stories and off-the-wall characters. Tune in and enjoy as the conversation veers from bar fights to the guest’s worst and most disappointing shows to the importance of having thousands of Twitter followers. There’s even mention of a jihad on the Jew and the wheelchair man.

Really, there is something for everybody!

Brett McCrindle – Success is Performing in Space

In this episode of the Quik & Slow Comedy Show, we talk with one of the most (if not the most) handsome comedians in Edmonton, Brett McCrindle. And even though you can’t see him, Brett is more than just a pretty awesome face. He is witty, charming and brimming with knowledge.

Come along as Brett takes us on a joy ride of his comedy experiences that can only be explained by that mystical she-devil, science. Our listeners may learn just as much as they hope to forget in this episode. McCrindle speaks to the human condition then outlines the lifespan of a camel.

Never recounting a bad set, Brett takes us through the ups and other ups of stand-up comedy. Some say that’s the drugs talking. Others say nothing. He tells tale of his first attempt at comedy which landed him in the middle of a comedy competition. After four years, McCrindle continues to elevate his game working as Glornak, romancing the sun, and hosting the amazingly hilarious Underdog Comedy Show every week with co-host Simon Gorsak. Brett knows he will have elevated the art form of comedy when he performs in space.

Please join us with our sit-in guest, Shawn Gramiak, as we uncover what makes the hilarious Brett McCrindle so damn hot!

Shawn Gramiak – The $1000 Man

This episode of the Quik & Slow Comedy Show reveals the driving force behind veteran comedian, Shawn Gramiak (spoiler: it starts with cha and ends with ching!!).

We are not exactly sure how long Shawn has been winning over audiences with his true-to-character wit and insight, but according to him, it’s 10 years. He chats about his highs and lows, goals and setbacks, comedy gold and comedy pyrite as he rises to become a $1000 man. In our mind, he’s worth at least more than that.

His impassioned acumen and other $5 words is good advice for new and seasoned comedians. Additionally, Shawn is the perfect guest. He practically interviews himself even as Aaron‘s zany antics steer Nick‘s pointed Q&A off the rails.

Join us, won’t you, as Nick McQuik and Aaron Maslow dissect the proverbial innards of the hairy beast, Shawn Gramiak. You are in for a lesson in comedy gold that is not redeemable or refundable.

If you enjoy Shawn here, please check him out on his podcast, The Movie Jerks (along side JP Fournier) and if you’re interested in hiring Shawn, his information is available at www.shawngramiak.com.
