My baby is turning three!

Screen shot 2013-06-16 at 8.30.23 PM

Three years ago I gave birth to a new comedy show. I can’t believe it’s grown up so fast.

This Wednesday, June 19  you are invited to come and celebrate it with me!

WHAT IS SAY WHA?! READINGS OF DELICIOUSLY ROTTEN WRITING?

Have you ever read a poorly written novel and thought to yourself, who publishes this crap? Or come across a hilariously out of date self-help book in a thrift store? Perhaps you flipped through R. Kelly’s autobiography and was shocked that he once stripped as Darth Vader? Now imagine some of Vancouver’s funniest and most charming performers reading from those books. Well, that’s what Say Wha?! is all about.

Say Wha? has been featured at the Vancouver Comedy Festival, the Vancouver International Poetry Festival, the Vancouver Fringe Bar, Comedy Waste and in the Olio Festival.

Say Wha Podcast

Five episodes of Say Wha?! The Podcast are out.

Haven’t heard one yet? Why not? They’re free, on iTunes and are less than 25 minutes long!

Here’s a quick synopsis of what you’re missing.

Episode 5 – Lauren McGibbon reads from Committed by Elizabeth ‘I’m better and more enlightened than you’ Gilbert.

Episode 4 – Sara Bynoe reads from Fifty Shades Freed and sumarizes the entire terrible trilogy of Mommy Porn.

Episode 3- Cameron MacLeod reads from Soualcoaster: The Diary of Me by R. ‘Pees on teenage fans’ Kelly.

Episode 2- Chip Ellis reads from two books on how to build your own coffins; the regular kind and the fancy kind.

Episode 1- Sara Bynoe reads from Text Appeal for Guys written by some douche-bag who lived in Asia and that’s what qualifies him as an expert on texting.

Look! That’s my podcast on the New and Notable page on iTunes, middle row, on the far left. At least it did in Canada. I’m not sure how iTunes works.

How did I find this out? A stranger on Twitter told me they heard my podcast and found me because of it. Neat!

That means random strangers are listening to and reading what I’ve put out into the Internet. I mean, I knew that was the point but now it’s confirmed. Amazing!

Are you a stranger? How did you find me? (This is where I invite you to leave a comment on this post)

Are you a friend of mine? Why don’t you download my podcast so you can honestly say you heard it first.

Did ya do it? Really? Awh, shucks! Thanks so much!

PS – If anyone can help me fix my podcast feed so it no longer say “Unknown” under my podcast I’d be very appreciative.

Say Wha?! April Recap

1
by Say Wha • Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

picstitchSara Bynoe (aka me!) told us why she’s still single by researching how to make men love her by reading the half finished book 14.5 Things Women Shouldn’t Do by Mr Things and the How to Make a Man Love You by Grant J Hall. What we learned: it’s because she’s too darn funny/goofy for a men to find attractive. Sad but true…and still amusing!

Michael Unger schooled us in the art of heavy metal band names by lecturing from All Known Metal Bands. We learned there’s a lot of vomit in metal.

Kyle Fines spent some time in the children’s section of the VPL and brought us back to our youth (or someone’s youth) by sharing The Boxcar Children Mysteries. FUCK YOU BENNY! Also, never trust a guy with a red sports car and rolled up sleeves.

Riel Hahn read from The Pregnant Virgin: A Process of Psychological Transformation (studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts) by Marion Woodman.  Which she stole from her mother’s library.

Capping off the night was Kevin L. Smith substituting ’a word he got from the audience (Badger) for any word of the male anatomy in his reading of Wanderlust: Homoerotic Tales of Travel.  

Next Say Wha?! show is May 15 at the Cottage Bistro, 4468 Main Street.

 

Say Wha?! March Recap

by Say Wha • Tags: , , , , , ,

picstitch-7I shared two books that have been on my Say Wha?! book shelf for ages now. Stories from the Playboy Mansion about how disgusting the carpets are and how Hugh Hefner makes his girlfriends ask for their $1000/week allowance.  Sliding into Home and Bunny Tales.

 

Gary Jones shared 365 ways to Kiss Your Love. A book by the inventor of the Topsy-Tail who lives alone with her dog Smooch. @TheGaryJones

Warren Bates shared some celebrity advice from Take It From Us, which apparently you can buy on Amazon for $70. Say Wha?! @WarrenHBates

Nicole Passmore read to us from Faith Evans’ autobiography Keeping The Faith, from it we learned how gross Faith found Big. @nlpassmore

Closing out the night was Chip Ellis who went to the library and took out Do It Yourself Coffins For Pets and People and it’s follow up book Fancy Coffins to Make Yourself. @chipellis

Join us next month at the Cottage Bistro for another edition of Say Wha?! Readings of Deliciously Rotten Writing. Save the date – April 17.
