EPISODE 16 – JUSTIN’S BIRTHDAY EPISODE
Buckle up, kiddos – this is a wild ride of an episode. On this episode of Half A Star, Justin and Ben invite a number of guests on to the program for a very special occasion: Justin’s birthday. If it weren’t for Justin being born, this show would be called ‘Quarter Star’ and Ben would be a lonely boy. And we don’t want that!
Each guest on this episode is someone important from Justin’s life, and they share their own stories about the birthday boy.
Rory Starkman shares a story about Justin’s fouth time doing stand-up, which was a gig that we in the biz would call “a poor choice.” Their partner Kandace Hagen is there too for some laughs!
Taylor Carver is the comedian responsible for introducing Justin into the world of stand-up. Since then, Justin and Taylor have performed on many shows together, and Taylor shares what it’s like having to open for Justin on a show.
Diana Moser is the Executive Director of ArtsBuild Ontario, is an accomplished musician, and, miraculously, is also Justin’s girlfriend. Diana shares a story about what it’s like watching Justin try to understand how to use basic household appliances.
Sherrel Shaw is Justin’s mother. She has some stories. Enough said.
Finally, at the end of the episode, Benton shares with Justin his birthday gift, which can best be described as “out of this world.”
This is a hell of an episode. All this, and maybe a li’l more, on this week’s episode of Half A Star.
