It’s Opposite Day With Rob Lewin!!! This episode is very exciting because it is opposite day with Rob Lewin! Rob is an improviser and sketch comedian living in Guelph, Ontario. His live comedy credits include The Second CityToronto FamCo,The Making-Box Brigade, The Bad Dog Featured Players and festivals such as Toronto Sketchfest, Detroit Improv Festival, Del Close Marathon NYC, and Montreal Improv Festival. He teaches improv and sketch classes with Pinch and you see his sketch duo Corpse perform around Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo. Unlike every other (wonderful) Comedicine guest, who is a health care professional first and then transitions into comedy, Rob has been improvising since before his brain was fully formed. (Grade 9!) Rob is currently in his second year of the Practical Nursing program at Conestoga College. Yes, he is going to keep on doing improv, sketch and teaching improv AND doing nursing, but not at the same time. Would it be cool to teach nurses about improv with his background? Maybe it would, but that’s not what Rob is doing here people! Have a listen, Rob is a wonderful improviser, comedian and human and he whoever ends up with him as their nurse and/or in his audience and/orin his improv class is very lucky!!!

Mansum is passionate about educating pet parents about things that people in veterinary medicine take for granted, but she also has a wonderful way of looking at the world through a cat’s eyes. She is the author/illustrator of The Ins and Outs of Cat Carriers: A Veterinarian’s Guide, featuring tips and tricks on cat carriers, cat cartoons, jokes, puns, funny poems, and more!

Mansum loves drawing cartoons, writing humour, performing stand-up comedy, and public speaking. Born in Hong Kong, Mansum grew up in Syria and Lebanon and graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2010. Fun fact, Sarah was one of her professors in vet school!

Ninja Warrior fans! Everyone else!We have the wonderful Matt Iseman as our guest on this special episode of Comedicine!Matt is the cohost of NBC’s reality competition show “American Ninja Warrior”. He is a comedian and actor and has hosted several other TV shows. Oh, and he won an Emmy, there’s that. Before all of this, Matt was a physician. During his internal medicine residency, he made the life-changing decision to move to LA to pursue comedy. WHO DOES THAT??!??? Matt does. Matt had the support of his parents, including his father who was a world-renowned pulmonologist. When Matttold his parents he was leaving medicine, his father said, “Life is short. Do what makes you happy.” Great advice then and now and alwaysfor everyone! Matt also won the last season of “Celebrity Apprentice” with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which really did not get its due because of some issues with the previous host of the show. I can’t really remember what happened there. This episodeis for you if you like inspiration and joy!! Also, a very special teaser at the end....

Dr. Cynthia Shelby-Lane saved many lives as an ER doctor in a level one trauma center in Detroit over twenty years. She has since pivoted and pivoted and pivoted. She is constantly reinventing herself. She is currently practicing anti-aging medicine and is board certified in anti-aging, functional and integrative medicine. (Yes, please.) She is also a stand up comedian and has been performing in Detroit and around the US for the past 15 years. She combines the two by educating audiences on the health benefits of laughter and humour and is certified in Laughter Wellness and Positive Psychology.
She recently gave a lecture at Gilda’s Laughfest called “Laughter for the Health of It: The Serious side of Funny”. That’s Comedicine gold! Shelby also loves space! She hopes to get to the International Space Center one day and we are rooting for her! Check out this truly fascinating lifelong learner in this episode that left Sarah speechless, not once, not twice, but THRICE!

A comedian walks into a medical school for a rectal exam….This is not a set up for a joke, this is Devon Flynn’s day job. Our guest on this episode is a stand up comedian, playwright, author, DJ, bike mechanic and a standardized medical patient and male clinical teaching associate at a medical school. In his day job, he helps medical students practice their communication skills and clinical acuity, acting as a standardized patient. Things get a little more intense when his job takes a turn as a male clinical teaching associate and students learn how to do digital rectal examinations on him. Yes, that’s what I said. Devon is a consummate professional by day, guiding medical students through this delicate examination and offering real time feedback and tips and tricks. (For example, trim those fingernails folks!) By night, he takes all of his experiences, including this one, and finds the funny. Devon is a strong advocate for mens’ health and for getting all of your parts checked out regularly. He is happy to report that his prostate is doing great. This episode is about vulnerability, professionalism, and lube. Enjoy!

Dr Greg Bishop is a veterinarian and cartoonist. He graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine at the peak of the median curve in 2013, but Greg is anything but average. Greg endured a small animal rotating internship in the New York area, complete with old-school verbally abusive surgeon, and soul-crushing hours and workload. This horrific experience made Greg decide to be a person after his internship. He is a husband, dad and dog dad in Portland, Oregon. Greg now works as a relief veterinarian in primary care and emergency practice. He is also a teacher at a technical college and a creative. Greg has illustrated eight children's books (working on the ninth) and is currently writing a graphic novel about veterinary medicine. He has a monthly cartoon featured in Veterinary Practice News, and recently started submitting cartoons to the New Yorker. We talk about veterinary medicine, jokes, cartoons, rejection, mentorship and whether it is better to be a crayon or a pencil.

Louie's Little Lessons - A series of children's books for early readers about resilience and growth, illustrated by Greg Bishop.

On today’s episode we talk to our first paramedic! Brad Pittman has been a paramedic and stand up comedian for 34 years. He works the nightshift as a paramedic outside of Atlanta. Guys, Brad has seen some sh*t. Maybe you think your job is stressful, but do you wear a bullet proof vest to work? Do you? Well Brad does. Brad also had a stroke 8 years ago while at work. This is terrible, but if you are going to have a stroke, having one in an ambulance with another paramedic is a close second to having one in the hospital. Brad’s stroke left him with an intermittent stutter which he has had to work through on stage. Brad is also a Youtuber with some super fun characters that he has cooked up, and a podcaster. His podcast is called Smoked Meat, named after his love of meat! And his meat-related hobbies that helped him get through some tough times. Getting to know Brad was super fun! I’m glad he is out there! Thanks Brad.

Dr Matt Asciutto is a veterinarian, podcaster, musician, improvisor, educator, Dad and visionary that we had the pleasure of talking to on this episode. He has maintained a fine balance of science, medicine, music and comedy throughout his life and he has carved his own path. Matt didn’t get the memo that veterinary medicine is hard to get into and hard in general, and he has a refreshing attitude towards the profesh. Prior to veterinary school, Matt was a professional improv performer for seven years and he completed a Masters in Chemistry. Who exactly is this guy? Take a listen to find out. You won’t regret it!!

Matt Asciutto has made the annoying decision to live a life that defies the traditional. It is impossible to devise a traditional thesis sentence for a traveling relief emergency vet who still thinks of himself as a performer and teacher.2017 graduate of The University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine, defies norms by working as a full-time emergency relief veterinarian, covering over 35 hospitals across 6 states.
In his free time, Matt can be found writing silly songs for friends, editing his upcoming book about life as a relief veterinarian, or painstakingly editing episodes of his podcast: The Greatest Profession.Thanks for listening to Comedicine! Send is a text to let us know what you think!

On this episode of Comedicine, we are hopping across the pond to speak with Liz Easter. Liz is a seasoned veterinarian and relatively new stand-up comedian. She has been a primary care veterinarian in the UK for 19 years, and she recently has made a shift into mobile veterinary palliative and end-of-life care. Liz keeps her comedy life and her veterinary life separate, which is just a personal choice and totally not because she is a spy. She tells us about her first comedy set when she lost her voice right before the showcase. Most people would have bailed, but she wrote a whole new set and performed it using text-to-voice like a champ. Liz tells us about the London stand-up scene and what it’s like to perform in a gong show that uses dildoes as gongs. Yes, that’s what I said.
