Aunty Sochelle Hour-ish

Detroit has been the launching ground of musical artists and poets for decades. In my post-divorce years, I was fortunate enough to live in the area for a couple of years, finding incredible performers, writers, and artists along the way. One of these extraordinary humans is Ms. Rosemarie Wilson. She is an author, artist, playwright, poetess, songwriter, and OH what a voice! She's written and produced plays, and her Fly-Ku's are Chef's kiss brilliant. This actor can bring tears to your eyes in laughter or sadness with just a few simple words. Visit with Aunty and Rosemarie in this lively music heavy interview.Rosemarie WilsonWebsite: http://www.onesinglerose.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/onesinglerosePoets & Writers: https://www.pw.org/directory/writers/rosemarie_wilsonX: https://x.com/onesingleroseIG: https://www.instagram.com/onesinglerose313FB: https://www.facebook.com/OneSingleRosePoetryPage/

He could have been an engineer in the lucrative world of dot coms. He might have been a Broadway dancer, had he tapped into it, (pun intended). He may still become a professional poker player full time. Instead, one of the brightest minds in Northern California ended up as a juggler. Not just a juggler, but a juggler's juggler. Meet Scotty Meltzer- a corporate juggler. A corporate juggler comedian in a Primus video, (Mr Kringle).

 Dr. Amy Tudor is an award-winning writer. Her artistic mind also helped her become an expert on photography. She's published, and lauded by people for her creativity, but that's not what we talked about. Dr. Tudor also happens to have a great Ted Talk (link below) on her job as a End-of-Life Doula. and professor for the same. Her students adore her, as you can tell from her Rate My Professor page. Why not? She's insightful, hilarious, wise and compassionate. Join us as we chat up the issues of death in the United States, and around the world, making it a little less creepy for some, and a little more compassionate for most. Amy TudorWebsite: https://fi.vcu.edu/our-faculty/faculty-directory/tudor.htmlTed Talk : https://youtu.be/WNdpRFTiDL0?si=R6cV1dAlp0kami52Rate My Professor: https://youtu.be/WNdpRFTiDL0?si=R6cV1dAlp0kami52

You might have heard the old tale. Girl meets guy. Girl and guy fall in love. Guy proposes. Girl brings dogs. Guy says, "me or dogs". Girl keeps dogs, dumps guy. It happens every day. THIS time, the girl is April Brucker, and the dogs turn out to be her collection of co-workers- her puppets. Let's meet April, a talented ventriloquist comedian, musician and all-around showbiz zeitgeist who has a story like no other. May joins in the interview because she was there.April BruckerWebsite: http://www.aprilbrucker.tv/IG: https://www.instagram.com/theaprilbrucker/FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheAprilBruckerTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/AprilBruckerYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AprilBruckerComedyFanClub: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1297022994323195

If you ask any working veteran American stand-up which manager, or coach helped shape their career the most, the names Steve and Barb North will grace their lips with a smile. We spoke earlier with Barb North, but now Steve is up at bat. Mr. North, easily recognizable in his captain's cap looks like everyone's favorite uncle, or a member of a Captain and Tenille cover act. This guy has worked as a writer on legendary television from the 1980s until this very day. If it made you laugh on Networks, there is a very big chance Steve was the reason why. And, if there is a comedian who has blown you away, there is a big chance Steve was part of the comedian's growth. Aunty loves Steve North, and she bets you will, too.Steve NorthWebsite for Coaching: https://funnycoach.com/Website for Booking: https://comedynorth.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/Stevenorththecomedycoach/GoodReads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4596576.Steve_North

He could have been the next Alex Ross, with his incredible artistic skills. He could have been the biggest Mad Man in the business. He probably could have been the next Robin Williams if he put his mind to it. There is NOTHING that Mitch Hallock isn't good at when he wants to do something. One of those things is owning and running his own Comic-Cons. Not just one, but two are under his watchful purview and those of us who love comics, games, and all nerdy art are better for it.

 If you were around in the 1970s and watched any television of any kind- especially the comedic game shows that often made headlines- then you certainly know Barb North, (as well as her lovely husband Steve). Her sharp wit and comedic timing helped shape the comedic landscape. Barb also served as a booking agent, well-trusted by comedians across the United States, placing up-and-coming talent into clubs, ensuring so many of them would be adored by the public. She is, to this day, a star maker. But, with all her decades in the industry, she is FINALLY walking back into the spotlight herself. You can find Barb along with luminaries like Carole Montgomery, on stages alongside the stars she helped create. And she is fabulous!

 He is practically fluid as he seems to float items above his head. There is a symmetry and poetry in his movement that could be mistaken for ballet. In fact, here is a man who is as wise in comedy as he is in the physics of juggling. That man is Michael Rayner. You have seen him in countless television shows, including That 70s Show, America's Got Talent, and even ESPN network shows. He has the face of the "every man", allowing him to blend seamlessly into commercials. But I assure you, this humble talent is far from ordinary.

Hey gang..what happens when two artsy ADHD women who have a common love of language, music, and creating come together to talk about art, music, and language? You get Aunty Sochelle chatting with her Parasocial Pal, Jen "JenX" Rizio. Jen is a polyglot with a passion for Welsh. She, much like Aunty Sochelle herself, is a dragon slayer of hidden disability. Her video channel discusses her creativity as a power from her Autism. The talk this week isn't just about talking and language, it's about not taking people for granted because we don't "look" a certain way. Jen is a music producer, artist, comic writer, and youtuber. Reminder- people around you every day are people who do extraordinary things under difficult circumstances, and do it really, really well.

Meeting Sara Tomko and TJ Pederson is like meeting your long-lost best school friends. The multi-talented Tomko sings like a Grammy winner, is breathtakingly beautiful, and still maintains that girl-next-door vibe that won over so many of her fans in the hit sci-fi-comedy show Resident Alien. Not only did she steal scenes from Alan Tudyk, but she held that show together like glue and macaroni on a kid's kindergarten project. Her other half, the equally talented director and actor TJ Pederson has a sharp wit, an infectious grin and has worked side-by-side with Tomko in setting up their film company. We didn't speak with Jon Lile during this interview, but when I say his imagery is nothing short of Louvre worthy, I earnestly hold that opinion of his use of camera. This tri-force team is about to wow audiences with their films and certainly blew my mind with their horror short: Girls, Girls, Girls. Am I fawning? You bet I am!! I can't wait for their upcoming new piece starring Felicia Day entitled Soup, and their current production, It Came for Clara.

 A few months back, we spoke with Houston Community College Professor Dr. Kent McGaughy on the issues with the current state of government and ways we can help change it. This time, we discuss freedom and fascism in the country, and how we can stop something that apparently has already begun. Dr. Kent has kindly offered his expertise in Constitutional history and the reasons why some of the articles exist. Don't lose hope.

Dennis Blair is one of those incredible artists who not only writes and sings his own music, but can mimic everyone from Eddie Vedder to Ray Charles to ...well if someone sings it...he can certainly echo tone, pitch and cadence to a T. But that's not his only skill. Dennis is so revered by other comedians and musicians he has made a career of being the appetizer to the fine dining of Jackie Mason, Rodney Dangerfield, Gloria Estefan, the legendary George Carlin, and recently, the Fan-ilows are cheering him on as Barry Manilow's opener. And why not?

I think that maybe, just maybe, there's a really creepy man in this room. Except, it turns out, that nope, this notoriously scary legend of horror is actually one of the nicest humans on earth.

The Holy City Zoo brought an astonishingly large number of internationally famous comedians to the world, (Robin WIlliams, Paula Poundstone, Bobcat Goldthwait....the list goes on and on). Debi helped nurture the careers of these comedians because she is one of the funniest women alive. As co-owner of the Zoo, she and her husband, American Satirist Will Durst, gave an outlet to some of the brightest minds. They also started San Francisco Comedy Day, a celebration of live comedy, in Golden Gate Park. This year, it is on September 14th at Robin Williams Meadow, (that the Dursts had named in his honor). Check out the conversation between the sweetest human, Debi Durst, and a weird one, Aunty Sochelle. We had a lot of fun reminiscing and talking about the future of comedy. Debi is also renown for her skills as a thespian and director.

To call a man a legend means you have understood the depth of work he has done in his field. Eddie Brill is truly a comedy legend up there with the likes of Dangerfield, George Burns and even Johnny Carson. He was a guide to late night careers of so many by putting them on David Letterman's stage. And Eddie can still bring a room down on his own, often to young audiences who are unaware as to the decades of work under his belt. He IS comedy gold. Brill is also sweet, kind, giving, and humble. He is a prince charming in a crowd of motorcycle gang members. He is, I am grateful to say, one of my newest dearest friends. AuntySochelle.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/auntysochelle.comIG: @auntysochelle-----------------------------------Eddie BrillHis Site: https://www.eddiebrill.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/eddiebrill143YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@eddiecomicIG: https://www.instagram.com/eddiecomic/IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0109327/

Jason Stuart is also the author of an insightful, heartwarming book, "Shut Up, I'm Talking", about his coming out, and his family roots, love of Streisand and so much more.
