BASSPROV Tonight at Comedy Bar in Toronto!

Last night I went to Comedy Bar, one of my favorite places to hang out in Toronto right now, to see BASSPROV. The shows premise is all based on the bizarre conversations that happen when two guys spend hours alone on a boat, I’m sure that’s something everyone here can relate to, throw in a couple improv topics from the audience like “something you can stick your fingers in” and you’re about to experience an evening of awesome.

Bassprov is a two-person longform improvisational comedy show. The main characters, Donny Weaver (played by Mark Sutton) and Earl Hinkle (played by Joe Bill), are middle-aged central Indiana blue-collar guys that spend their free time fishing and talking about sports. The show begins with an audience suggestion of a current event and “something you can stick your fingers in.” From there, a completely improvised dialogue is created while interconnecting events from the characters’ lives and the suggestions, all while the two men fish. Bassprov is a Hook in Mouth production.

Earthquake Brings Squid to California

A recent earthquake in California has shaken up a large group of Humboldt squid and sent them straight in to the beaches of La Jolla. Local residents were shocked and say they’ve never seen anything like this before. Check out the video!

This isn’t the first time we’ve covered the Humboldt squid, and when not confused by whatever occurred underwater during the quake they can even be quite aggressive and dangerous. In Mexico they refer to them as diablo rojo.

Raw video from the beach can be found after the break.

Fish A Japanese Obsession

I found this amazing documentary on YouTube about the Japanese obsession with fish. From start to finish it is very fun, tongue in cheek, and culturally informative. I had a great time watching it and dreaming of visiting and fishing all these places, but I couldn’t help but notice they left out Japanese bass fishing!

You don’t have to watch all nine parts if you don’t want to, but I put some descriptions and quotes in so you can get right to what sounds most interesting to you. However if you do, and I hope you do, watch the whole thing I guarantee you will learn some amazing things about Japan.

Part 1 of 9 : Here we meet the host and his team of local Japanese people that will help him through out his journey. Most of all we meet Aki, his guide. The first Japanese fishing experience is a restaurant with an interesting twice. There you can fish a pond in the middle of the restaurant and have your catch for dinner. The next day they head to to the Tsukiji fish market in search of Bluefin Tuna.

In the west we try to get as far away as possible from the idea that our pray was once alive. And in Japan they celebrate it.
