Wake and Cake with Comedian Ian Bagg The Jewcy

- Umorismo
"Don't give out your blood type publicly or they will steal your financial records!"
Watch out y'all! The Canadian Colossus of Crowd Work, (as I call him) Ian Bagg, is vaccinated and apparently magnetic with a bigger package as a result! Comedy fans everywhere can't wait to see him back on stage...and ya, he's quite looking forward to being back there, too.
Post pandemic Ian typically flies over 100,000 air miles per year and life has been amazing for this energetic and wildly funny boundary pushing entertainer. A regular at the Jimmy Kimmel Club, you've also seen him on “Last Comic Standing” where he performed a national tour. Aside from touring, he’s been on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, “The Tonight Show”, Adam Corolla Show, WTF with Marc Maron, and The Wrap Up Show on Howard Stern.
I ask Ian if his comedy has shifted in any way during this incubation period in a world that seemingly continues to become more and more sensitive. He poses the question, "Why are comedians being held more accountable than politicians?" Haha, I'd argue that they aren't even held to that standard. "My job is to be a dummy and to say dumb things and to push as far as I can and to make you laugh at things that you'd never thought you'd laugh at...my jokes don't come from a place of hate, I'm teasing you"...
Off stage in quarantine Ian keeps busy hosting a game show called "Around the Bagg" where comedians compete to be Ian's BFF for the week. In this ep, I decided to get back at him at his own antics and he did pretty damn good!
He also has a podcast released weekly called Enjoying Orange Slices based on dreams of playing in the NHL. At one point he tried hockey camps and knew that he had no chance to make it. One of the most valuable things that he learned from chirping players on the bench, bus or the locker room was that he was funny. That is where his extraordinary talent for humor began his comedy adventure.
His quick wit, off-the-cuff antics, playful conversation and fast paced crowd work has earned him spots on some of the best stages in the world.
While bringing his love of comedy and hockey together, Ian has performed multiple collaborative NHL Alumni shows for teams such as the Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ian has also been featured on the History Channel, the Food Network and the Biography Channel. His most recent one-hour specials are “Ian Bagg: Getting to F**king Know You”, on Showtime and “Conversations”, on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.
Stand-up comedy is Ian’s personal journey – fans of his don’t want to miss a single show, because no two shows are alike.
Follow Ian's Laugh Path and catch him at a show near you soon! His precious Frenchie and Merch Model, Pearl, might even likely be in tow!
