This interview with Tim Steeves was a nightmare from production street, but a dream come true from comedian avenue. I like to think of Steeves as possessing the ideal characteristics of a truly Canadian comedian. Despite his many successes and intimidating talent he’s still down to earth, humble, human and hilarious. I didn’t have to pester him with numerous emails or go through his agent or PR person before getting the interview. I simply found him online and made one brief request which he promptly replied to. We couldn’t be more grateful to feature him on this site and part two of our Hecklesode. If you don’t already know he’s a staff writer for the Rick Mercer Report, was a writer for many seasons on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, etc, etc.
We had all sorts of problems capturing this interview, but we managed to get about 98% of it on tape. I prefaced the interview with the details into what exactly went wrong in case you’re wondering. Even though the technical failures caused some random interruptions, it was still one of the most fun and free flowing interviews we’ve done yet. Listen up and Enjoy!
