Show notes
Two time Canadian Comedy Award winner Sandra Battaglini joins the show this week and drops some knowledge on what we didn't know about the comedy industry. She explains the art of 'Clown', it's influence and how many of the mainstream comedians are actually clowns but may not realize it. Sandra also co-founded The Canadian Association of Stand-Up, Sketch and Improv Comedians (CASC), leading into conversations about flaws within the comedy industry in Canada. We talk about it from all angles, including the quality of talent, how Canada is at a disadvantage, Americans staling Canadian content, how to get out of this mess and much more.
