“I love laughing with you and putting it all in perspective.
Suggestion for scoring:
- bonus points for really funny - either by Gav or audience
Institute penalties -
points deducted for missing an opportunity (or blocking another comedian) for a laugh in order to get a fact point...”Read full review »

“I started listening to this on the road as the radio waves of CBC Radio One floated across Lake Erie from London to my area in Northeast Ohio. I follow this via podcast when I can’t catch it via radio. It is better than what I can get on my local radio dial.”

“I am a big fan of CBC and many of its offerings, but I switch the radio off when this show comes on. While some of the regulars are talented, their talent becomes mired in the juvenile, "look at me" orientation of the show. I am also not thrilled by the undercurrent of grumpy cynicism...”Read full review »
