COMEDY -- Smart, satirical, silly and environmentally friendly -- Local Anxiety barbecues sacred cows, even mad ones. .
Bio / Background
"Canada's masters of social and political satire," Local Anxiety were one of the top comedy acts on the much-mourned MP3.com -- at one point owning ten of the top forty spots on the political satire charts.
Their song, Tree Farm, is featured in the upcoming movie, The Green Chain (www.thegreenchain.com) -- which was written and directed by half of the Anxious duo, Mark Leiren-Young.
Their hour-long TV special Greenpieces: An Eco-Comedy won rave reviews when it debuted on VTV in Canada and was featured on Canada's "Green Channel." Shot live at the Vancouver International Folk Festival, Greenpieces featured special guest appearances by such environmental icons as Dr. David Suzuki and received an EarthVision award from PBS for, "excellence in environmental film-making."
Other featured TV appearances include CBC's Sketchcom, the Jim Byrnes Show and multiple appearances on Canada's number one morning show -- Canada AM.
↓ more ↓They've received two awards for their work with National Public Radio in the U.S, they had numerous commissions from CBC Radio in Canada and have also been heard on Dr. Demento. Their song, Hockey Nut in Nashville is featured on the CD, Hockey's Greatest Hits, Volume 1.
They've headlined at most major comedy festivals across Canada and have played major theatres across Canada. Their annual "Year in Revue" was a Vancouver tradition.
