In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over some salt rimmed Palomas with producer and performer Susan Waycik (Artistic Director of Waycik Productions) to discuss queer representation, the importance of a good vacation, and how in high school she was basically Troy Bolton. She is the producer and host of the monthly comedy variety show The BFF Variety Hour, the creator and producer behind the monthly queer stand-up show Bi-Pandemonium, and a co-producer of the sex-positive comedy show Slut Parade,

In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over a chilled glass of grapefruit sparkling water (Perrier AND La Croix) with actor and comedian Connie Manfredi (She The People, FX’s Mrs. America, The Next Step) to discuss hustle culture, the relatability of jealously…oh, and whether Perrier, La Croix or Bubly make the best sparkling water! Typically you can see her performing live on the Second City, or on stages across Toronto, but while stuck indoors you can see her in FX’s new dramatic series Mrs.

In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over a cold glass of Vanilla Porter beer with comedian and writer Cara Connors (E!’s Dating No Filter, Just for Laughs, OUT TV Go’s Cara Takes Up Space) to discuss astro-charts, negative self-talk, and the moment she realized she was gay. Typically, you can catch her performing all over LA, but during this isolation you can check out her 90 Day Fiancé character impersonation videos on her Instagram account instead.

In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over a chilled vodka cran with comedienne and TV development intern Amelia Rose Ritthaler to discuss the pressure to be “nice” in Canada, using comedy to fit in, and I finally learn what the hell a finsta is! Hilariously candid both on-stage and off, Amelia is a constant reminder that being yourself always makes you the most interesting. Oh, and her Twitter “is fire”.
