TRC will be back soon. Our next live taping will be at Absolute Comedy in Toronto on Wednesday the 13th of April and the episode should be up shortly after that. Sorry about that guys and thanks for listening!

Episode Two and Still Going Strong!!!

Wow. It has been such an amazing journey! Who knew we’d make it to two episodes? I’d like to thank our sponsors: free time and pot.
A few notes about this episode: you can get it on iTunes but only by using the link on our page. The people at iTunes have to give it a listen first to make sure we’re not corrupting the youth of our nation so that might take a few weeks…to get the podcast listed, not to corrupt the youth. We can corrupt a nation in a weekend are you kidding me?
Featured in this episode:
- An invitation to come out to the Rivoli for our next taping (which happened on Monday the 7th so if you have a time machine feel free to come out…although if you have a time machine you should be using it for more important things…like making out with hot people from the past!).
- Deforestation in Brazil
- Scooters
- Sexy Saskatoon
- Bucket lists
- Jersey Shore
- Heckler’s on Valentine’s Day
And the best part: no mention of Charlie Sheen.

Total Request Comedy: The First Episode

Here is our very first pod-baby everyone! Listen to us take our first awkward and giggly steps into the world of podcasting. In the first episode, we chat the general premise of our show, the topics we dealt with this time around, we listen to the actual comedic sets that we taped and then break down what happened. And we giggle like we’re on mushrooms. This was a fun start with a bit of self-criticism (don’t worry, we’ll pull it back next epsiode). Let us know what you think and if you have any topic suggestions for our next kick at the can. DIG IT!!!!

P.S. Big thanks to Darcy Fiander from the Comedy Above the Pub Podcast for helping us sort out all this iTunes madness (iTunes is a wonderful bitch goddess).

We made a pod baby!

Hey everyone!
We recorded our very first podcast and as we speak it’s getting chopped up to make us look…well sound…good and much smartlier than we actually is. The podcast should be up sometime later this evening so keep your cyber eyes and ears peeled!
Also, we’re already taking topic suggestions for our next show so please feel free to send us ideas for topics and we’re write jokes about them for our next outing. Ideas and general good vibes can be emailed at totalrequestcomedy@gmail.com

Stay tuned!
