58 - Bobby Knauff #3
Bobby Knauff came by for my birthday and opened the show with this killer set!
57 - Mark Little #2
Set from the April 6th show. Mark was hysterical. Just listen.
56 - Nick Reynoldson #2
Nick came back and did an excellent 10 minutes. He was terrified by the bouncer and also by audience member Ryan North (writer for the 'Adventure Time' comic books and creator of 'Dinosaur Comics') but didn't let that slow him down! Check dis shit out!
55 - Darryl Orr
STOP! WAIT! Don't listen to this set until you see a picture of Darryl Orr! His Twitter profile (@fishinadarryl) has a great one!
54 - Mark Little
The man from "Picnicface" did his 2nd show on Jan 5th and this time we actually managed to record it! Enjoy the hilarity and curse yourself for not seeing his JFL42 solo-show in September!
53 - Diana Bailey #4
She's back again and funny as ever. This is another recording from the one year anniversary of the show. Please enjoy!
52 - Pat Thornton
Pat Thornton closed up our one-year anniversary show with this brilliant set. Enjoy!
51 - Ryan Belleville
Here's a recording from the one year anniversary show two Saturdays ago! I want to use this space to mention that all the comedians who performed that night absolutely killed and any perceived unenthusiasm from the crowd is the fault of our recording devices (as is the distortion, unfortunately). If you enjoyed this, definitely check out Ryan Belleville's podcast "The Flying Bellevilles"!
50 - Alexander Saxton #4
I thought a long time about who should be our 50th episode. Should it be Scott Thompson? K Trevor Wilson? The secret Louis CK show we had on July 35th? Then I was like, screw it, let's give my and your favourite co-host his due. Ladies and gentlemen: Alexander Saxton!
49 - Luke Gordon Field
We're soooooo close to our 50th episode! Can you feel it? Does it feel like a lump? If it does, go see a doctor! Luke is one of those guys who's both a comedian and a real person. Dude's a lawyer. Crazy shit, right? Also, it's Luke's birthday today! Happy birthday Luke! I hope you don't get cancer!
48 - Amanda Brook Perrin #2
Amanda makes a phonecall in the middle of her set. It sounds like that should be rude but instead it's hilarious.
47 - Matt O'Brien #2
Yeah! Matt O'Brien! This guy won Best Stand-up at the LA Comedy Fest! Enjoy the episode everyone!
46 - Jacob Duarte Spiel #3
Did you know that expired Gravol doesn't fix your nausea but still makes you sleepy? I found that out 15 minutes before getting on stage! Enjoy!
45 - Rhiannon Archer
Rhiannon Archer stopped by the show to make jokes on a stage like some kind of FREAK. Enjoy... if that's your kind of thing.
44 - Ben Miner #2
If you want to understand the beginning of this set you need to listen to Ben's first set on our show (episode 25). Do you hear him making fun of that guy with the socks? Do you? That's Anthony Botelho! From ep. 43!
43 - Anthony Botelho #2
Some unfortunate singing and some very fortunate comedy, ladies and gentlemen it's Anthony Botelho!
42 - Steve Patrick Adams
I googled Steve Patrick Adams and the fifth result was an obituary for a guy in Louisiana. Anyway, I also found out that Steve won a Canadian Comedy Award last year! Awesome!
41 - Scott Thompson #2
Scott gets real (and funny) in his appearance on the July show.
40 - Noah Riesenbach
Our July first-timer and one of my oldest friends!
39 - Diana Bailey #3
Diana has a hilarious twitter that I've neglected to mention up until now: @Epic__Bail (two underscores). Follow her! Follow her to the stars! Also, she's competing in the Toronto Comedy Brawl semifinals on Aug. 24th at 918 Bathurst (show starts at 8pm)!
38 - Alexander Saxton #3
The co-host spends 5 minutes talking about Mennonite sausages! Why do I give him stage time again?
37 - Andrew Chapman
Well after numerous delays and tear-stained pillows we've finally reached the end of the May episodes, and what a way to end it. Andrew Chapman can be found on Twitter (@chap_andy) and on his very own website (andychap.com). Enjoy the episode and check back soon for the first of our July recordings (the June recordings were, very unfortunately, ruined somehow)!
36 - Bobby Knauff #2
This guy again? What, is he funny or something? Yes. Yes he is.
35 - Jordan Foisy
The ocean puns are back! Also Jordan Foisy is here! That's like two amazing things in one also amazing thing so you should totally listen to this. The Foister runs the Chuckle Co. comedy show at Comedy Bar on the last Wednesday of the month. It's a great show, go check it out!
34 - Amanda Brooke Perrin
Amanda Brooke Perrin is the third best thing Ontario has stolen from Alberta (closely following "cowboy hats" and "Earth's natural beauty"). You can follow her on twitter @brookeperrin and, holy smokes, you can totally add her on facebook if you want more showtimes! Sidenote: this is one of my favourite sets ever.
33 - Matt Collins
Matt Collins! I mistakenly refer to him as a first-timer while introducing him. In reality he had done a few shows before this one. He writes the very funny weekly online column "No Good News" for Provocative Penguin (http://provocativepenguin.com/category/serial/n-g-n/). He also doesn't know the dates for any of his August shows.
Archive! 14 - Josh Infald
What Toronto stand up podcast would be complete without Josh Infald? That being said, this podcast is now complete. No more updates.
Archive! 13 - Diana Bailey
Diana did this set in full pirate regalia but she never once mentioned it while on stage and the audience, in turn, did not react to it. Sometimes I wish this podcast had video. It really added a lot to her jokes.
Archive! 12 - Matt O'Brien
Matt O'Brien was named Canada's Next Top Comic in 2010 and was recently awarded "Best Stand Up" at the L.A. Comedy Fest. Think about THAT while he tells his poop jokes!
Archive! 11 - Kirk Hicks
Kirk Hicks has a twin sister who will do comedy for 50% cheaper but we splurged and got you the best possible Hicks money can buy (excluding Abraxis Hicks III, explorer and kangaroo fighter)! Enjoy!
Archive! 10 - Anthony Botelho
Another first-timer! Here's a little visual to go with your audio: imagine a man who looks like he does a GREAT Jeff Goldblum impression. Congratulations! You're halfway to knowing what Anthony Botelho looks like! (The other half is drinking heavily and watching "Jurassic Park")
Archive! 9 - Gabriella Garcia Marquez
If you know who this funny lady is, you should keep it to yourself for legal reasons! I don't want to get arrested but if I do I'll be sure to make your life hell while I'm on the inside. I know people.
Archive! 7 - Evan Desmarais
Evan Desmarais! What're you gonna talk about today? The contrast between your dream threesome and the threesome you actually had? Hilarious!
Archive! 6 - Andrew Frost
Andrew Frost has a pretty great last name! He's also a first time stand-up comedian although you wouldn't be able to tell it from this performance! You'd think it was at least his 3rd or 4th.
Archive! 5 - Amanda Day
Amanda Day teaches us how to be hilarious! Actually there's very little instruction in this episode, it's more a performance thing.
Archive! 4 - DJ Demers
DJ Demers! Making jokes on THIS podcast! Why are you even reading this description? Just listen to the episode!
Archive! 3 - Fahad Ra'mat
Our first first-timer! Fahad hails from University of Toronto, he is also a male. Now that I have to provide details about his life I'm realizing how little I know about the guy. Not that he's secretive or anything, I guess we just need to hang out more. Call me!
Archive! 2 - Joel Buxton
In this episode: Alexander reveals he has problems (or a muse, or whatever) and Joel Buxton is hilarious.
Archive! 1 - Andrew Ivimey
Guys! I'm going to be reposting the first 14 episodes of the podcast since they aren't currently available. "Here it is ladies and gents, our maiden voyage! And who better to pilot us around these podcasting seas then the loveliest maiden of them all (and a bonafide Newfoundland-er): Andrew Ivimey! If you like geeky humour you should definitely be checking this guy out!"
33 - Evan Desmarais #2
Evan Desmarais dropped by the show for his second ever performance! He has two very cool events coming up: "Set List" (where comedians are handed a list of topics and must come up with a set off the top of their heads) and Evan is also going to be opening for the very funny James Adomian when he comes to Toronto on July 20th. Links: http://www.facebook.com/events/387790961280662/ and http://www.facebook.com/events/158015691000599/ Listen and enjoy!
Mini-sode #4 - "News Headlines!"
It's a Mini-sode! And maybe it's the start of a new tradition: while Alexander hunts down extra chairs I distract everyone with comedy news headlines!
32 - Joel Buxton #2
It's Joel Buxton everybody! He was one of the first performers we ever had on the show and we're really glad we got him to come back. You can check him out on Twitter (@joelbuxton) and if you live in Toronto he runs Chuckle Co. at Comedy Bar every Wednesday at 9pm! Woo!
30 - Scott Thompson
Probably the best thing ever. Scott Thompson stopped by the One Hour Fun Hour show in April to test out some new material for his planned upcoming tour. If you don’t know, Scott Thompson was one of the members of legendary sketch comedy group “Kids in the Hall” and was a frequent cast member on “The Larry Sanders Show”, two of the most important shows in television history. Listen, enjoy and check out Scott’s exceptionally interesting podcast (http://scottfreepodcast.com/)! Download Scott’s set HERE!

29 - K Trevor Wilson
In case you didn’t get the memo, K Trevor Wilson is the man. Two-time winner of the Toronto Comedy Brawl and all-around great guy, K Trev has been making people laugh since before YOU were born (unless you’re older than him). Check him out on Twitter (@KTrevorWilson), at ComedyRecords.ca and join “The K Trevor Wilson Adventure Squad Elite” Facebook group. Do all those things. Download Trevor’s set HERE!

28 - Diana Bailey #2
The bitch is back! That’s a thing people say, right? Anyway, it’s Diana Bailey time! Download Diana’s set HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
27 - Georgea Brooks-Hancock
Georgea! Talk about yourself!: “Georgea Brooks-Hancock is stressin’ about whether or not she should keep both her last names or just one; it’s really taking up a lot of her time. She’s originally from Toronto but has since performed in Chicago, New York, and most recently Los Angeles. The other day someone described her body type as “thick”; so I guess she’s got that going for her.” Whaddup! Download Georgea’s set HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
26 - Max Trower
Another first-timer who doesn’t sound like a first-timer! What’s the deal with these folks? Stop being good at this! Download Max’s set HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
25 - Ben Miner
After a little delay we here at OHFH are proud to present Ben Miner! Helder went up to Ben after the show and said “I can’t believe what I just saw! You did crowd work, went into prepared material, did more crowd work, went into unprepared material then did a callback to the crowd work you did earlier!” To which Ben responded: “Yeah man, I’ve been doing this 13 years.” Check out “Laugh Attack”, his show on XM Radio (channel 153), for more Ben! Download Ben’s set HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
24 - Helder Brum
I asked Helder what he wanted me to say about him: “I can’t think of anything in particular (i’m the worst at describing myself). I’m sure whatever you write will be great, just as long as you plug my website (www.helderbrum.com) and my twitter @HelderBrum (https://twitter.com/#!/HelderBrumwww.helderbrum.com) and my twitter @HelderBrum (https://twitter.com/#!/HelderBrum)” BORING! But whatever he’s a funny guy, you should totally check those things out. Download Helder’s set HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
Mini-sode #3 - "Racism Against the Portuguese? Finally!"
Some banter was had before Helder Brum (a Portugal man himself, much like co-host Jacob Duarte Spiel) began his set. Perhaps too much. Actually, the length of this mini-sode might explain why the comments at the beginning of his set. But really, did you expect patience from a dirty cooper? Download Mini-sode #3 HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
23 - Alexander Saxton #2
We’re BACK and with us comes recordings from the incredible April show! Starting us off is the lovely and talented co-host of “One Hour Fun Hour”: Alexander Saxton! Download Alexander’s set HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
22 - Dom Paré
Big news: After heavy deliberation, OHFH has come out in favour of Usher! Good job Usher, keep making your music with our blessing! With that out of the way we’re very proud to present Dom Paré, one of Toronto’s bestest stand-ups! Download Dom’s set HERE! For older episodes check out the archive: http://onehourfunhour.tumblr.com/archive
21 - Rachel Bulatovich
Another in our continuing series of first-timers! Rachel actually did her first set as part of the Toronto Comedy Brawl, a really cool amateur stand-up competition. Check it out! Download Rachel’s set HERE!
20 - Bobby Knauff
We made it to episode 20! That’s almost a milestone! Anyway, today’s comedian is Bobby Knauff. He hurt his knee pretty bad on New Year’s but that didn’t stop him from doing comedy! Hope your knee heals up soon, Bobby! Download Bobby’s set HERE!
19 - Nicholas Reynoldson
Nick likes to talk to the audience. I don’t know how he does it, I’m constantly terrified of them. The only difference between talking to an audience and talking to a mob is that the audience isn’t mad at you… yet. Download Nick’s set HERE!
18 - Madeleine Burkhardt-Jones
We’re back and it’s with a vengeance! Check out this lady: it’s her first time and she’s gosh-darn hilarious! Download Maddy’s set HERE!
Unintentional Hiatus
Sorry bout the lack of updates, with the end of term this week lots of things and stuff have come up. We’ll hopefully post two recordings tomorrow night to make up for it. Come to the April show this weekend! Saturday @ The Crown and Tiger. Starts at 10pm.
17 - Thomas Calnan
Who says nudity isn’t funny? Religious people from the olden times! Also some religious people now! Some people who maybe were hurt by a naked person at some point. And I guess people who work in the clothing industries, especially if their jobs are already in jeopardy… Anyway, here’s Thomas Calnan! Download Thomas’ set HERE!
Mini-sode #2 - "Is Helder Brum Here?"
Mini-sodes ahoy! Helder unfortunately couldn’t make it to the show in March but we pretended he did. Why? So we could stroke our egos by reading the intro we wrote! Weeeee! Download Mini-sode #2 HERE!
16 - Brian Ward
Brian Ward kicks off the March show with a bang! He has exploding feet! (This month’s intro theme was “letters written to comedians from small claims courts”) Download Brian’s set HERE!
Mini-sode #1 - "Mild, Directionless Banter (and some jokes)"
Before anyone complains: we like it off-key. That was the point! Download Mini-sode #1 HERE!
15 - Jacob Duarte Spiel
This is it! My big break! You can download my set HERE!
