Ep. 19 - Flo & Joan (Nicola & Rosie Dempsey)

In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over some very British English Breakfast tea and some equally British gin and tonics with musical comedians Nicola and Rosie Dempsey of the musical comedy duo act Flo & Joan (Amazon Prime’s Alive on Stage, BBC’s Live at the Apollo, CBC’s This House Has 22 Minutes) to discuss their music, tattoos, and what the hell White Elephant is. Flo & Joan have been featured on BBC’s Live at the Apollo, in the 2019’s Royal Variety Performance, and have performed 4 years in a row in Edinburgh Fringe. You can listen to all 3 of their albums (Victory Flaps, The Kindness of Stranglers and Alive on Stage) on Spotify and Apple Music - and if you have Amazon Prime Video check out their comedy special Alive on Stage! Seriously, it’s so, so good.

Ep. 18 - Paloma Nuñez

In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over some cold beers (shout out to High Park Brewery in Toronto, Canada!) with actor, writer, improvisor Paloma Nuñez (Baroness Von Sketch Show, Shazam!, Mouthpiece) to discuss flirting, why the 3rd grade was the worst year of her life, and why Mark Ruffalo is the absolute sweetest! Paloma is an award-winning actor on screen and on stage, including a Screen Actor’s Guild Award for her role in the Oscar-winning movie Spotlight! You can see her on the big screen in films like the 2019 action comedy Shazam! and in Patricia Rozema’s rad feminist film Mouthpiece. On TV, you can see her on shows like Kim’s Convenience, Designated Survivor, and all 5 seasons of the award-winning Baroness Von Sketch Show, some of which she also wrote on. She is an indisputably fabulous actor, improvisor, and I’ve never met a person who didn’t think she was a stellar human being as well!

Ep. 17 - Nelu Handa

In today’s episode, Amanda sits down and attempts to chug an entire pitcher of water with writer, actor Nelu Handa (Workin’ Moms, Jann, Mirchi Comedy Show) while she does the same (is that safe? They have no idea). They discuss Nelu’s experience working with Jann Arden, how many glasses of water you can chug before you’d die, and filming with twin babies on Workin’ Moms. You can catch her acting in or writing for (or sometimes both!) shows like Decoys, The Beaverton, Baroness Von Sketch Show and Jann, starring Jann Arden! Nelu is also the creator and producer behind Mirchi Comedy, a live comedy show that features funny Womxn of Colour. The next virtual show is scheduled for September 3rd at 8pm EST - head to Instagram for info on how to watch!
