’Laugh Long and Prosper’ with Comedian Denis Grignon

Hi there,I'm Judy Croon. Welcome to another episode of 'Laugh Long and Prosper' – Shelf Help with a dash of humour when appropriate. I believe that humour is one of our best coping mechanisms-especially when we are facing stress and unknown times like NOW! Today my guest is comedian and journalist Denis Grignon. This native of Eastern Ontario has been touring across Canada for more than 30 years. Early in that career, Denis realized that he wanted to perform comedy that worked above the neck, not below the belt. The Ottawa Citizen has described him as a “sharp and likeable comic who respects an audience’s intelligence.” The Globe and Mail, meanwhile, said he was “wonderfully relaxed.” His comedy has been featured on such CBC National programs as The Debaters, Laugh Out Loud and Marketplace. He also traveled to the other side of the planet, entertaining Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. His humour is down-to-earth, but not below-the-belt. An award-winning journalist, Denis’s radio documentaries are heard across the country on the CBC; he’s also a regular contributor to the Toronto Star. For the past two years, he’s produced and hosted The Advocate Podcast: Stories from Kawartha Lakes. It’s a twice-monthly newsmagazine show about his NEW hometown area, where he lives on a farm with his magazine editor wife – and their two sons, when they’re home visiting from university.
