The Montreal
June 2001

CN : The Nest uses a sketch troupe (The Bionic Yahoos) any plans to rotate the two?

EB : Not at the moment..we are watching the Yahoos as they mature in their performance and we
       are excited about their future
.

CN : Why not just go with two stand-up shows on Friday?

EB :
As of June 1, 2001 that is exactly what the Nest will do for the summer....two shows on
       Friday..more stage time before the festival.


CN : There is always a lot of talk among those in the industry about "Politics". How much of a
         role would  you say that really plays?


EB : There are no politics in a dictatorship..

CN : Have you ever thought about just walking away from the whole scene?  If so, when?

EB : No,  why Brutus??  No ..why??  Never !



CN : What are your thoughts about The Montreal Comedy News On-Line? (Trick question!)

EB : I think that you have done a great job with this on line magazine and I have not answered so
       many questions since the trial.
