Happy Canada Day, everyone, I had the opportunity to speak with Canadian comedy legend John Wing a few days ago. John recently celebrated 40 years of performing standup the opportunity to speak with him and get advice from him was an honor. For those who don't know here's brief overview of just some of John Wing's Accomplishments.
John Wing began in Toronto and moved to Los Angeles in 1988. He has performed on “The Tonight Show” six times and at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival nine times. A regular performer on Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines, John has traveled the length and breadth of the North American continent, working in 36 states and 10 Canadian Provinces. Most recently he almost made it to the final ten contestants on America’s Got talent. He can be heard regularly on CBC’s the Debaters and is a regular contributor to Definitely Not The Opera. John recently celebrated 40 years in the comedy business and has recently started a podcast called "The Bad Piano player where he reviews music from the 1900's to the 1960's which is available on all major streaming platforms.
I know the audio is not the best but i really enjoyed the conversation. I really gained a lot of insight into his career and got a lot of great advice from someone who is very respected in the industry. Most of all I appreciate Mr.Wing for taking the time to connect with. It means a lot to me for him to take the time to take an interest in my questions even though I am a relatively new comedian. The next time John is in Alberta I will definitely purchase a ticket just for the opportunity to watch him work.
