It’s the 50th episode of It’s Bananas and who better to have on then returning guest, Roby Hollywood! Roby started off the show this year and really felt the need to get back on and share some jokes and truths about what’s been going on since then. A lot has happened for Roby including having a baby and maintaining his work from home job. He’s extremely eager to get back on stage though since he hasn’t been doing any of the Zoom shows. I made him have to download Zoom so we could do this one! Roby has a show coming up this Saturday at Watt’s Restaurant at 8pm in Scarborough. This is going to be a patio show with safety measures taken. Feel free to reach out to Roby for more details.

From Windsor, Ontario to Toronto, Max Sheldrick, the man whose name sounds like a CEO, joins me on It’s Bananas. Max has been doing comedy for over 5 years now and aching to get back on stage.
