Hey Rozbloggists!!

If you’re lucky enough to be in balmy Vancouver at this time of year… why don’t you head out and join the hilarious Steve Patterson, Harry Doupe, Bob Robertson, Linda Cullen and a whole lineup of great comics as they tape The Debaters LIVE in Vancouver, tomorrow night in Studio 40??!

Admission’s just a cash donation to the Food Bank, something that’s sure to get you on Santa’s ‘Nice’ list.

To attend, send an email to rsvp.vancouver@cbc.ca, and the team at the Debaters will do the rest.

Wish I was there… have fun! :)

Roz and Steve Make a Video Blog

Hey gang!

So last Thursday I was thrilled to head over to the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto for the latest taping of my favourite radio show, ‘The Debaters’.. on CBC Radio One.

And just prior, I headed over to host Steve Patterson’s haunt and taught him how to video blog. The above vid is what happened. Check out The Debaters Facebook Group and follow our YouTube page here! Happy Monday!

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!

Roz Shoots

Hey gang!

So it’s super rare that I’m lucky enough to get a shot of myself in action… much less a good shot. But a few weeks back I was filming on location with my favourite CBC Radio show - ‘The Debaters’ - and the lovely Leif Norman managed to capture this great photo of me doing what I do… filming people laughing. Man, I love my job!

roz’s life at the moment

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

That’s a Wrap, Folks!

 Richard Side & I

Last week saw the final four tapings for CBC Radio’s hit comedy show, The Debaters - and I was thrilled to be invited (front row seat nonetheless!) to the final live show.

With top notch repartee from master debaters Ellie Harvey, Jeffrey Yu and Erica Sigurdson, traditionally touchy topics like evolution, prenuptial agreements and the Shaun Majumder & Imost sacred of all - hockey - made for some radical radio, folks.

Huge congrats go out to show creator Richard Side, Executive Producer Tod Elvidge, Producer Dagmar Kaffanke-Nunn,  and of course to the host-with-the-most Shaun Majumder for a fantastic run. Thanks so much for letting me be a part guys - and I hope to see you next season!!
