S1 Ep1 Veterinarian’s Got Talent!

Comedicine

Sarah has a delightful conversation with her longtime friend and comedy inspiration, Dr Ted Morris, Canada’s funniest gay veterinarian. Ted is a small animal veterinarian from Toronto who has been wildly successful as a Canadian stand up comedian. He has performed at JFL, the Halifax Comedy Festival, and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and is all over CBC radio and television. He just released his brilliant comedy album, Dawn of the Ted. Where will Ted go next? Only time will tell, but one thing we know is it’s not America’s Got Talent.
