Graventowners: welcome here - wherever here is. Here we freaking are. Season two. I even have a new theme song, for gosh sakes. So kick back, grab a muffin or a meringue and let me put your thought train back on the rusty rails. I have a sizzler of a second season in store for you and I'm so happy to kick things off with a serious kazam whizbang from the heavens of hilarious hounds with Janelle Niles (*insert arena sized cheering noises*) - Janelle Niles is a beautifully minded Black-Mi’kmaq woman from Sipekne'katik, Nova Scotia. Janelle’s comedy career began in Ottawa, Ontario and was soon to follow with her indigenous comedy show called "Got Land?" which expresses solidarity through humour. Janelle had the opportunity to perform on Just For Laughs, JFL42, Toronto in 2022 with "Got Land?" - Watch Janelle on CBC Gem’s New Wave Of Stand-up Season 2 (Canada Only). Janelle has also performed with Crack up Comedy Festival and Arctic Comedy Festival alongside her peers. She appeared on APTN’s Indigenous Day Live 2022, now on APTN’s Lumi. She frequents the United states and hopes to one day perform in New York City. Janelle’s is a force to be reckoned with and her humour is described as eccentric yet captivating.
Be safe and stay kind. You're loved.
