Hey Rozbloggists!!

So excited to let you know that Gonzo, a rabblerousing little mag published out of the interior of BC - just ran a story about our pilot for the CBC.

Pick up a copy if you can!

Cheers,

Roz

Hey gang!

It’s not often you get to see a guy in a gorilla suit having an intelligent discussion about zoos. That said - the new video I produced for The Debaters is live at cbc.ca/entertainment. It was shot backstage during the Winnipeg Comedy Festival.

Check it out at the official YouTube Debaters channel as well, or on the Debaters Facebook group!

Shot Sabrina’s segment for our CBC Pilot, ‘Citizen Janes’ yesterday. This is me doing the traditional - ‘Hold The Camera Still While Laughing Your Ass Off’ pose. Very difficult, zen master type shooting technique. Don’t try this at home.

More photos from the shoot yesterday available on my Flickr account… here.

Hey gang!

The backstage videos I produced for my favourite radio show ‘The Debaters’ just landed with a splash at cbc.ca! Cameos by Erica Sigurdson, Sabrina Jalees, Teresa Pavlinek and John Wing. Check em out and let me know what you think!

UPDATE: Vids are now available here at the official Debaters YouTube page!

Wow. When it rains it pours. Make hay while the sun shines. When the going gets tough the tough… don’t blog.

What a crazy few weeks it’s been. I know I haven’t been very available lately. In fact - if I was your girlfriend - I believe that you’d now have the right to officially dump me. But before you go dear rozbloggers - before you walk out the door in frustration - let me apologize.

It’s not you, it’s me.

You see, all of the freelance work I do collided and my life exploded.

I appreciate you rozbloggers - I really do. And I vow to make it up to you with a plethora of new posts. In the meantime - my excuses.

A few weeks back I was tapped by CBC Radio to come in and develop a new column for the hit Saturday morning show - ‘GO!’. What followed was a week of complete and utter immersion in the art and science of radio comedy writing… complete with listening exercises and guest speakers. Met the amazing Dan Misener and enjoyed an hour of q&a with him regarding his approach to radio and how he created his successful column ‘Dan the Love Man.’ Funny lad. Young, smart and funny. Such a great combination.

I can’t tell you too much about my new column yet.. but let’s just say my first appearance involves me turning into - the bad girl. I’ll keep you posted.

This past weekend I was hanging out in Montreal with the crew from ‘The Debaters’… filming some funny backstage material with Canada’s best comics, including the incomparable Derek Seguin, Sabrina Jalees and Debra DiGiovanni. I’m cutting the video now and will post a link when it’s up! Not sure yet if it will be released on the Debaters Facebook group or on the Debaters official website. But when I know more, I promise you’ll be next in line!

To top it all off I’m currently working on a treatment for the amazing MaRS Centre in Toronto, having been asked to create an entertainment based 3 minute video for their website.

Good times! Busy… but good. I’ve missed you guys.

Talk soon,

Roz

Hey guys!!

Just for giggles, here’s a clip of me on CBC’s national Saturday morning radio show, ‘GO’ - hosted by Brent Bambury. And again - my sincerest apologies, Jian. I didn’t make up the questions, I just answered ‘em.

If you’ve ever tried to sell anything on craigslist you’ll get a kick out of my latest CBC Radio piece.

Good morning everyone!

Just a quick note to let you know to listen to CBC Radio’s morning and afternoon shows today, if you’re not already… my piece about craigslist airs nationally!

Cheers!

Roz
