The Comedy Green Room

“Miss Kelly Zemnickis has a lot to look forward to in her show business career, of course stand-up will continue to be a big of it. A storyteller at heart, she will continue to write and one day be part of late-night shows writers room.”

“My hope with sharing Janelle’s story was simply that I wanted even more people to know about the incredible work she’s doing and all that Janelle has done since she first took the mic.”

“Janelle Niles: Inconvenient, by Kelly Zemnickis and Cass Gardiner, spotlights First Nations stand-up comics, with a focus on the very funny and charismatic Janelle Niles, who calls herself a “resbian.” She’s organized the Got Land show which gives the mic time to stand-ups whose humour is designed, as they say, to make white people uncomfortable. It works – and it’s hilarious.”

“From the tweet in December 2015 to now as the documentary is set to release on Discovery+ in September, Kelly couldn’t be more thrilled. “This project, which I thought was going to be the most expensive home movie I had ever made, is going to be seen by people,” she says.”

“That belief that it will be alright in the end, it’ll still be delicious is the thesis of my baking show. You may not have exactly what’s called for but you will figure it out!! Life may not be going exactly as we plan, but we figure it out- we change course. We adapt.”

“There was a full house for the first performance of How Does a Drug Deal Become a Decent Third Date, by Kelly Aija Zemnickis at the Montreal Fringe Festival on Saturday night.

We have to assume that at least part of that was due to its having a catchy, fringe-style title. But tonight’s performance (Sunday June 14) at 9:30 p.m. will probably be full, too, because of the buzz. “
