<p>When people think of improv, usually Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady and Drew Carey come to mind, but did you know alot of short form improv was fostered right here in Alberta?</p><p>This week I got to speak with Mat Mailandt who is a comedian, improviser, and teacher who grew up in Alberta and has since made his success in Ontario. He talks about how improv can change a person's life for the better, improve language skills, as well as a bit about the history of improv and what shows he has coming up. Mat is also a chef, so his restaurant recommendations are ones to visit for sure!</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.matmailandt.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Mat's Website</a></p><p><a href="https://kinkonauts.com/calendar/improvised-macbeth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Kinkonauts Improvised Macbeth Tickets</a></p><p><br></p><p>Mat's restaurant recommendations:</p><p><a href="https://www.tenfoothenry.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ten Foot Henry</a></p><p><a href="https://boogiesburgers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Boogies Burgers</a></p><p><a href="https://www.lulubar.ca/calgary" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Lulu Bar</a></p><p><a href="https://fsmyyc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">1st Street Market</a></p><p><a href="https://www.lonelymouthbar.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Lonely Mouth</a></p><p><br></p><p>Other Shows/Events Mentioned in this Episode:</p><p><a href="https://www.shadowtheatre.org/shows/Where_You_Are/9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Where You Are - Shadow Theatre</a></p><p><a href="https://www.showpass.com/ham-to-go/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ham to Go - Ham Sketch </a></p><p><a href="https://albertatheatreprojects.com/whats-on/2025-26/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">ATP Season Announcement</a></p><p><a href="https://northernlighttheatre.com/2024-2025-season/radiant-vermin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Radiant Vermin - Northern Light Theatre</a></p><p><br></p>

<p>This week I am very honored to speak with Kaeley Jade, who is an award winning singer, songwriter, actor and multidisciplinary artist. She has a BFA in Acting from the University of Alberta, composed a show for Northern Light Theatre, and so much more! Kaeley is currently on tour, and you can catch her concert special on CBC Gem. I had no idea how much work and dedication it takes to be a musician, and so I appreciate her taking time out of her busy schedule for this episode! </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://kaeleyjade.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kaeley Jade Website/Tour dates</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0uHvg2Vc2T0NrCvSkbSb2t" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kaeley Jade Spotify</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kaeley_jade/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kaeley Jade Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wxcKBkhe-U" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kaeley Jade CBC Concert </a></p><p><a href="https://www.thesensory.ca/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Sensory Restaurant in Canmore</a></p><p><br></p><p>Other Show Openings/Workshops Mentioned:</p><p><a href="https://albertatheatreprojects.com/whats-on/2024-25/liars-at-a-funeral/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Liars at A Funeral - ATP</a></p><p><a href="https://www.showpass.com/improvised-macbeth/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Improvised Macbeth - Kinkonauts</a></p><p><a href="https://sagetheatre.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Mary Stuart - Sage Theatre</a></p><p><a href="https://aflimsyplan.com/shakespeers-a-shakespeare-inspired-community-salon/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Fooling Around</a> - <a href="https://aflimsyplan.com/shakespeers-a-shakespeare-inspired-community-salon/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Full Circle Theatre </a></p><p><a href="https://jubilations.ca/edmonton-junior/spiderboy-the-musical-spiderverse/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Spider Boy the Musical - Jubilation's Dinner Theatre</a></p><p><a href="https://www.edmontonarts.ca/event/2025-womans-screening-event" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Women Filmmakers - Edmonton Short Film Festival</a></p><p><a href="https://www.theatrealberta.com/2025/04/01/workshops-by-request-canmore-design-with-narda-mccarroll-pine-tree-players/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Design Workshop with Narda McCarroll</a></p><p><a href="https://www.theatrealberta.com/2025/04/01/workshops-by-request-calgary-auditioning-with-bronwyn-steinberg-morpheus-theatre/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Auditioning Workshop with Bronwyn Steinberg</a></p><p><br></p>
