Wow, so much has happened lately where do I begin?
I know several friends (and non friends) who do a daily blog. I often wonder where they find the time. I can understand some non-artists having spare time but with all the projects I am working on, gigs, acting work, writing my book etc; I find little time by days end. I often wonder if daily bloggers just don't have enough constructive stuff to do or just are not as much in demand as I am? Who knows. As such, my blog is more of a weekly (or less) so to all my loyal readers looking for more, I apologize- Daddy Makk has a lot on his plate.
On top of the usual corporate Christmas gigs (or is that "Non-denominational holiday observance of your choosing" gigs) at this time of year, I have been involved in working on a film set as well as setting up some work in Canada and further abroad. Stay tuned.
2 more weeks and I am off to visit family in BC for the holidays. A good friend of mine, Stan also set up some nice work for me while I am there.
It has been awhile since I have done the Coast Capri in Kelowna and am back there, by request, for the last week of December plus New Years Eve. It will be great for friends and family to come see a show there again and I look forward to doing a room that has not been on my schedule for over 2 years. It is also nice to see a competent agent taking care of that venue as he understands the challenges comics face on the road, having done it himself for many years. Yes, the industry is going through an evolution and things are looking up in Canada. Less of scammers taking advantage of over eager comics looking for stage time and more of a respect with decent pay and conditions for all.... well in some arenas anyway. There are still those who think that self employed artists should be treated like employees and taken advantage of but that style of business will go the way of the dinosaurs eventually.
Look out Okanagan valley...Daddy Makk is back with a whole whack of new material for you.
