It's another Saturday Night in comedy, and tonight on the panel we're paying all due respects to the written word- with some of comedy's finest, penning their own and taking a leap from the page to the stage!! If ink is your choice of drug we've got your very funny fix right here- I'm Dean Young and we're about to go INSIDE the joke!

Aisha Brown is the first Black Women Ever … to have a comedy special on Crave TV. That was back in 2020, and a lot has changed since then, but maybe not enough. Aisha fights the same demons that many comedians do, be they female, or people of colour, or both. Am I funny enough? Pretty enough? Can I be smart and truthful and still have people like me? We say yes, and also who cares? Topics covered include getting older, social media and penis size, none of which matter as much as you might think. Aisha Brown is a Toronto based comedian, writer and actress. She has written for Baroness Von Sketch, This Hour has 22 Minutes, the Beaverton and the Canadian Screen Awards. You might have also heard or seen her on all those shows, as well as The Debaters, Because News, Day 6 and Just For Laughs. Witty and self-confident on stage, Aisha shows us a more reflective mood. Comedy, after all, is serious business. We love writing and would love for you to read what we write. Sign Up for our Substack Newsletter.

Too bad I have to take it down from the inside.” “It feels like the Americans are having the time of their life, and the Canadians want to look like we’re having the time of our life.” “No American has an inner monologue.” “John Delaney was the guy who kind of looked like if a peanut had muscles.” “Bernie’s running on ‘Eat the Rich’.” “Oh, you changed the dressing on the cake, but the cake is still made out of toenails!” “I think the ‘old white man’ that’s used so much now in comedy, I think that it’s equivalent to like ‘my wife’ for like 80’s comics.” “The Right are all fucking con men.” “Where are all these right-wing motherfuckers who were so upset about anti-semitism?” “Trump broke everyone’s brain.” “This is just all like internet rainwater that has poured into my brain.” “Buttigieg is a rat-fuck.” “He’s like fluent in so many languages he has to be evil.” “Who the fuck is Maltese that isn’t evil?” “I think his dad is an aluminum tank, and his mom is the fluid that they fill the tank with.” “I think, ultimately, Obama is a failure, and it sucks.” “I think he should have nutted up, basically.” “His mistake was that he thought the system was good, and the system was bad.” “I think Obama was a centrist in progressive packaging.” “I lost Bill Cosby, I really can’t afford to lose Barack Obama.” “The only good thing Obama, I think, has done recently is not endorse Joe Biden.” “I think petite brunettes are truly the heartbreakers.” “This is really just the farm team for ‘Paradise’.” Links: Sophie’s homepage: https://www.sophiebuddlecomedy.com/

This week, comedian, actor, and writer Aisha Brown sits down with Anne and explains why she (and everyone) should care about Fame. Because here's the thing: without this 1980 cinematic masterpiece, we'd be living in a world without Center Stage, without Step Up, without Magic Mike, and without some of the most moving and controversial moments in film history. You can follow Aisha on Twitter, on Instagram, or by going to her website so you can find out when to catch her live.

Toronto comedian Aisha Brown may have gotten a late-start in comedy, but you would never guess it from watching her live act. Her effortless, iron-tight routine proves she's just as formidable as a writer as she is a performer. With critically-acclaimed appearances at Yuk Yuk's, Kevin Hart's LOL Network and JFL42 opening for Roy Wood Jr., it's only a matter of time before Aisha blows up south of the border. Justin and I recently sat down with Aisha and discussed how she quit her soul-sucking day job to pursue comedy, her accidental transformation into a rapper, and her ongoing mission to make R. Kelly accountable for his deplorable actions.

A good gab sesh with Aisha Brown, the fabulous Stand Up and member of comedic rap group Runnin' at the Mouth. We talk about what it's like on the comedy scene for a woman, unspoken racism in Toronto, and the truth about anxiety hawks.
This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! Today is the anniversary of Lil' Bobby Hutton's killing at the hands of the Oakland Police (COINTELPRO operatives). He was the first casualty (at 17). We want to say: Ashay! Long Live the Spirit of this brave warrior for justice!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l13FYpRuqTI From the Archives: 1.

Colette Winlock, Lola Hanif and Lady Sunrise join us this morning to talk about hydraulic fracturing, the process of breaking up shale underneath the Earth's surface to extract natural gas supplies where a series of holes are drilled into the ground which are then pumped with a water/chemical mix which then forces the natural gas out through the fissures in the shale into previously-built wells for extraction. A.k.a. FRACKING, the impact on human beings, let alone the planet is not known, However, there are recorded medical instances of illness associated with fracking and numerous earthquakes (109) in places like Youngtown, Ohio which sits on the Marcelles Shale where there is no record of such since 1776. Saturday, March 15, 2014 there is a huge demonstration in Sacramento against “fracking”.

Please bring family and friends. Don't forget the children. The cost is only a donation ($1 or more). The bus leaves from Acorn Shopping Center (7th and Market in West Oakland) at 9:30 am and returns from Sacramento at 7:30 pm.
