The 2012 Standup Comedy season ended with a bang, or should I say, a sassy-snap. Daniel-Ryan Spaulding immediately warmed up an audience suffering a bit in the new Muszi venue (but then again, would you want a heating bill for a 2800 m2 space?). Daniel is a globe-trotting Canadian comedian, actor and all-round entertainer. His Hollywood film career includes playing a major roles in National Lampoon’s “Ratko: the Dictator’s Son” and the live-action movie version of popular cartoon “Fairly Odd Parents.” As a student, he was the winner of the Michael J. Fox Performing Arts Scholarship and, as a comedian, has perfromed live in 23 countries. His high energy, connection with the audience, and original and thought-provoking material was one of the best Baby Blue Banana shows of the year. I especially liked his material that turned things (for the hetero part of the audience), on their head, for example: heterophobia, his skit with Wayne Brett, the Charlie's Angels bit, and "I am perfectly fine with it. Whatever heteros do behind closed doors is their business...." A definite highlight, let's get him back Howard.
