The business of comedy and cocktails

In our final episode of the 2025 season of the Manitoba Inc Podcast, we are providing a little comedic relief to what's been a tumultuous year in the business world. From the local impact of the U.S. tariffs to the Manitoba fallout from the federal election, we've covered a lot of ground this season.  For episode 10, we head to Rumor's Comedy Club for an exclusive chat with Canadian comedian Graham Chittenden. In our interview we discuss Chittenden's career, the unique 'business' of comedy and share a few laughs along the way. As well, we bring you another stop in everyone's favourite segment, What are we drinking?, as we head to Patent 5, the popular craft distillery and cocktail bar in Winnipeg's Exchange District. Leo Lu, Bar Manager at Patent 5 walks us through some tasty options for your friends, family and guests this holiday season, featuring crafty cocktails and merry mocktails! From all of us at the Manitoba Inc Podcast, have a wonderful holiday season and we'll be back with more new episodes in January 2026. 2:37: The business of comedy: Interview with Graham Chittenden, Canadian standup comedian and television writer. 14:33: What are we drinking segment with Patent 5's bar manager, Leo Lu.
