Relive 2017 with part two of our highlights from last year. Clips from our conversations with Chuck Byrn, Barry Crimmins, John Cullen, Ivan Decker, Harry Doupe, Shawn Farquhar, Diana Frances, Lori Gibbs, Ryan Gunther, James Kennedy, Colin Lamb, Darryl Lenox, Gavin Matts, Joel Plaskett, Brad Upton, Ron Vaudry, and Garry Yuill.
Diana Frances is a Vancouver gal at heart but she lives in Toronto now, where she mostly makes her living writing for TV, awards shows, and radio. But she still finds time to do the odd bit of performing. It's mostly improv these days but we talk about her early standup days, why she's such a good podcast guest/lousy softball player, a bit about her crazy childhood/life, traffic and linguistic complaints, and vagina jokes.
What can we tell you? The woman likes to make people happy. From improv onstage (TheatreSports League) to writing comic sketches on radio (CBC Radio’s The Irrelevant Show) or working as part of a team in television series writing rooms, Diana Frances knows what she needs to keep herself happy as well. Apparently there’s a lot to be learned waiting tables! In this interview from the Banff World Media Festival, Diana talks about taking responsibility for other peoples’ experience. She also shares thoughts on passive-aggressive workplaces and what it takes to please individuals in an audience who are paying to be served … whether the product is French fries or a side order of satire. Diana is serious about being funny. And very honest about how hard it can be to juggle what you love to do with what you have to do until you can make a decent living doing what you love to do. So do what you need to do to make that happen. Run yourself like you are your own business. Cuz you are! Diana Frances is a story that needs to be told. And she tells it best.
