Snak the Show (Eps. 311) - with Bonnie Anderson, Andrea Lyons & Jorge Molina. snak@snaktheshow.com ___________________________ Shannon Laverty Andrea where are you? There you are. Hi sorry this is the first time I got asked for a password and I was like what?. Ooh. We didn't tell her that she has to have a password. Oh so you guys are like having little secret talk before I got here? Nice. Should we tell her about our meetings without her. Oh I thought that was just between you and I. Oh yeah. Shannon laverty. She's a stand-up. And she does Yuk Yuks. Calgary Comedy Festival. Winnipeg Comedy Festival. Niagara Falls Comedy Festival. Toronto Comedy Festival. She was nominated 4 times for a Canadian Comedy Award. She's on the show A Little Sketchy TV. And she is fantastic with the audience. Her back and forth. I think it's ballsy for a comedian to talk to the audience. Calling Shannon ballsy is exactly what she is. Brassy? Brassy. Ladies and gentlemen Shannon Laverty. Hooray. Hi everybody. I feel like we've met Andrea. You know, I'm pretty popular so probably. That's probably it. Maybe back in the day. Maybe. What day would that be? Tuesday. Yeah. Tuesday. We were just talking about you before you came on. Oh God. I was just looking at liposuction pictures before you guys brought me in. What was the spark when you were younger that made you go in this direction. I used to tell jokes and I was four. Why did the man chased a pancake up the tree? Because he was hungry. It was always a man chasing a pancake. In school we would have assembly every month. I would MC them or do the Bible reading. The Bible reading? I was like, I'll take anything as long as it gets me in front of people. I did theatre in high school. Became a hairdresser. The salon at worked at was next to a yuks yuks. I started in the new contest the funniest new comic in Canada. That's a big jump to decide to go into the biggest comedy place and try to win the contest. March 1st 1990. Was my first time on stage. How did it go? It was great. Everybody was, oh my gosh you're so comfortable you'd waited for the laughs, your timing was perfect. How was your second time? Not so good. The earliest we found was Comedy at Club 54. They play a clip of Shannon performing on Comedy at Club 54. That was always how I was described. Spicy or raunchy. Would you call yourself brassy? absolutely. Ballsy and brassy is what we were saying about you. Ballsy and brassy is great! When did you move to Toronto? Fall of 91 I moved to Toronto because they close the Yuk yuks in Sakatoon. I originally moved to Vancouver. I was there for six days. You really gave it a good try. I did. I gave it a shot in Vancouver. The Winnipeg, Festival. They show a clip of Shannon performing at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival. It's funny cuz it's true. It is. One more clip. They show a clip of A Little Sketchy TV. Where can people catch that. It's on in New Tang Dynasty (NTD TV) Or people can see it on NTDfilms.com. You have anything come up? Well I have A Little Sketchy TV every week. I just finished shooting Winnipeg Comedy Festival again for the second time. That will be coming out later in the year. June 24th and 25th I'll be in Oshawa Ontario at Yuk Yuks. Shannon, thank you so much for spending time with us. Thank you for having me. She was great. She was fun. She was very funny. Brassy. Is that kind of a way to say brass balls? Just kind of pushing it. Pushing. She's pushing the envelope. Like share comment subscribe.
