Comedy Factory from CBC Radio: Episodes

Guest host Jane Testar avoids the bad news of the week, by pretending everything is great! Which it isright? RIGHT?!
Al Rae gives us the news gently, Dean Jenkinson has some suggestions for our healthcare system and Diana Frances wonders if infidelity is genetic.
Meanwhile Jane keeps her fingers in ...
Guest host Jane Testar takes on internet bandwidth caps, comedian Patrick Ledwell has the Flu and is having dreams about Matlock, and Nile Seguin brings us his take on Black History Month from the Comedy Vault.
So Jane combined those three things and called it The History of Internet Flu Medication. ...
Egypt is never far from this week's satire. It's not just the historic shakeup of the government there. There's also our recreation of King Tut's sputtering demise. Patrick Ledwell shares some family secrets that his wife probably wishes he had not, and Jean Freeman confesses to some literary fibbing.
George Washington was the first president of the United States and, up to that point, the best one ever. And he remained so. Until John Adams came along. The third monday in February is celebrated as Washington's Birthday but, because some people could never get past the wooden teeth, is also known as ...
In the last podcast before we switch from Wednesday to our new release date of Thursdays, our host apologizes for a truly awful deed. Ryan Pallson is at the mercy of mean girls, Patrick Ledwell becomes a jock to meet les femmes, Al Rae looks at the Middle East with his X-Rae vision, and we toss in some ...
Guest host Jane Testar outs herself as a spinster in honour of International Women's Day, Al Rae gives us his News of the Day, Mike O'Brien reaches into the mind of Charlie Sheen and Canadian politicians to see who is more misguided, while Miss Conduct shows you how to leave a polite voicemail.
There are lots of people named Steve, but no podcasts. Why not? We decided it's time to change that. This week on "Steve", Patrick Ledwell settles in for the winter, Al Rae mines the headlines, 3-D gets the third degree, and we debut the trailer for our latest sure-to-be-a-hit film.
Yes, start your engines and drive far away from Canada, lest you get caught in the election campaign due to begin any minute now. We couldn't escape it, and offer a series of fake campaign ads inspired by some real-life banking ads. Our two fake pundits provide some fake punditry. Diana Flacks recalls ...
The election is underway and a mysterious new illness is already being reported: EOVA. If you think you're affected, we've got the cure. We've written an attack ad aimed at our radio rival, and headline hunter Al Rae takes us through the highs and lows of the week. Patrick Ledwell feels the winter chill ...
Believe it or not, this podcast is put together in Canada. And yet, this week's episode includes a financial planning seminar with none other than Queen Elizabeth II. We also add a bit of James Bond to Canada's button-downed top spy. And Diana Frances brings us the headlines from her comedic headquarters ...
We look for an upside to the continuing death spiral of Mel Gibson's personal and professional life. And we look back to the Oka crisis, twenty years ago. And if all that looking wasn't enough, we also look back into the comedy vault for a sketch about cruelty-free rodeo.
We're not saying he's not real. We're just saying he's really in need of some lifestyle changes. Patrick Ledwell explains the dangers of grandma's candy, and we try to market a warmer world.
Motley Crue would love this podcast because it features Hilary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and our own Jacquie Loewen and Diana Frances, and there's nothing the Crue likes as much as lots of ladies engaged in a satirical examination of universal health care, overseas troop deployment and other important issues. ...
That's what we call week-old sketches about Easter. If the sketches appeared before the holiday, we would call the podcast "Preaster." Patrick Ledwell takes us through the finer points of eating chocolate rabbits. A clueless dad tries to explain the connection between Jesus and eggs. And Chris Barry ...
Maybe for Tiger Woods, but he still gets a parting shot from us. And it sounds like just the beginning of the Helena Guergis Affair. We eavesdrop on the petulant politician's phone messages. We bring you not one but two gems from the Comedy Vault, about a computer bug and a buggy economy. Diana Frances ...
And of course, we're talking about the volcano with the unpronounceable name in Iceland. This week, we sum up Iceland's plan for world domination. We turn Rahim Jaffer's troubles into a new marketing campaign. We go back in time and up in the air with some vintage airport comedy. Diana Frances gives ...
Some weeks it's sure hard to find stuff to lampoon. Oh sure, there's Director James Cameron taking on the Alberta oil sands in a sequel to Avatar. And we do check out a weird forecast by Iran's wackiest weatherman. And, okay, the people behind Earth Day throw in the towel. But even with Diana Frances ...
This week, we salute both mothers and segues. We present two oily British executives, a nightmarish tax-filing program, and a court system corrupted by bad American TV. Patrick Ledwell says farewell to an exercise ball and other poor purchases, and we meet Vincent Amadeus "The Ghost Lisperer."
While hardworking CBC comedy contributors Mike O'Brien, Diana Francis, and Evan Wilson entertain and enlighten, guest host Dean Jenkinson prattles on an on about becoming a new Dad. Sigh.
Guest host Dean Jenkinson returns with a May two-four weekend look at Canada's national bird, GM's finances, perfume labeling, and other things that stink. It will make you think; it will make you laugh; it will make you think you're laughing.
