Updated: Oct. 03, 2018Welcome to the land of the true north strong and funny!
1. Graham Clark
I have a great idea for Netflix called the relationship filter, for when you are viewing alone and want to have the feeling of watching with a loved one. It would just be a voice that comes on at a certain point in the film to say, “Who’s that person?” then a little while later, “Oh, he’s from The West Wing.”
Graham Clark is a stand-up comedian and the co-host of Stop Podcasting Yourself. You can find him online at grahamclark.com or follow him on Twitter at @grahamclark.

2. Jenny Hamilton
I believe that mental health is as important as physical health. So whenever I see a jogger I yell at them, “What are you running from, honey?”
Hamilton can be heard on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, and seen on comedy stages from Alaska to Australia.

3. Aisha Alfa
My mixed family looks like a ghost and a shadow made love and I was the result. The Sears family photo was always a little tricky for us. The first few takes and my father would come out just eyes and teeth in the background. Then they’d adjust the lighting and my dad would be beautifully lit, but my mom looked like an apparition.

4. Darryl Orr
I see a lot of people wearing T-shirts that say “NO FUN” on them. I was considering getting one until I realized it already says that on my face. People would be like, “Why does it say no fun on that guy twice?”

5. Jennifer McAuliffe
I’m so out of shape the only exercise I do is “in futility.”

6. Brandon Calder
I wonder if there’s an alternate universe out there where zombies tell stories about “non-dead” humans:
“And then it was July and Linda realized she was three months late on declaring her taxes.”
“Mommy, I’m scared.”
“Its just a story, baby…it’s just a story.”
Brandon Calder is part of the YouTube sketch comedy group Moving Mind Studio and stars in Laugh Out Loud network’s Campus Law. Find him online at movingmindstudio.com.
