Comedicine

I can't believe season two is over. Thank you so much for listening and staying with Comedicine!  As we did in season one, we have rounded up all of the Dr. Ken Jeong invitations (Kenvitations)! One of our goals on Comedicine is to have Ken Jeong as our guest. We had some amazing guests this season with some seriously compelling invitations. I hope you enjoy this pseudo-episode!  Stay tuned for a wonderful season three!

This episode we are joined by the remarkable Walter L. Brown Jr., BS, RVTg, aka Skinni Go Live! Walter is a registered veterinary technologist with a VTS specialty designation in Critical Care. He is also a social media influencer who makes the viral content we all need right now. He combines his background in veterinary medicine, comedy, film school and social media to create hilarious videos that entertain and educate, that’s why...

We head back across the pond to UK interventional cardiologist, Youtuber and comedian, Dr Rohin Francis. His YouTube channel is called Medlife Crisis. Rohin makes videos on medical topics that don’t get covered elsewhere and/or with more scientific rigor than Goop! He breaks it down to make it understandable and he crams in a lot of jokes! We talk about science, jokes and trying to find balance. Is that a thing?

Find Dr Rohin Franci...

Dr Matt Asciutto is a veterinarian, podcaster, musician, improvisor, educator, Dad and visionary that we had the pleasure of talking to on this episode. He has maintained a fine balance of science, medicine, music and comedy throughout his life and he has carved his own path. Matt didn’t get the memo that veterinary medicine is hard to get into and hard in general, and he has a refreshing attitude towards the profesh. Prior to vete...

On this episode of Comedicine, we are hopping across the pond to speak with Liz Easter. Liz is a seasoned veterinarian and relatively new stand-up comedian. She has been a primary care veterinarian in the UK for 19 years, and she recently has made a shift into mobile veterinary palliative and end-of-life care. Liz keeps her comedy life and her veterinary life separate, which is just a personal choice and totally not because she is ...

Dr Jeffrey Gurian is a dentist, lecturer, motivational speaker, comedy writer, stand-up comedian, director, author, producer, radio personality, film and TV writer and psychotherapist. First of all, that is a lot of things! Secondly, what do all of these things have in common? In a word, HAPPINESS! Jeffrey spreads Happiness in the world through laughter, dentistry, teaching and helping people overcome stuttering. (He always capital...

Our guest on this episode is the inimitable, incomparable, incredible Dr. Janet McMordie. She is a fellowship-trained sports medicine physician who also does surgical assist and mass gathering medicine. During the pandemic, she made a hard pivot to improv comedy. For her second act, she is an improv performer, actor in film and TV, voiceover artist, stunt performer and podcaster. She is also a medical consultant for film and TV whe...

We are joined by Sarah’s old friend and kindred spirit, Dr Andy Roark. Dr. Andy Roark is a practicing veterinarian, international speaker, author, and media personality. He has found that improv comedy is his superpower, and it infuses all areas of his life with hilarity and compassion for others. He is not big on plans, which seems to be working for him. Andy gives great advice at all times. If you listen to this episode, he will ...

In this episode, Sarah talks to Kelli Dunham, who is a nurse, comedian, author, LGBTQ+ leader, educator, performer, author, caregiver, and storyteller, and maybe I’m missing something because she is so many things! However, despite outward appearances, she is not a gym teacher or a 12-year-old boy. Kelli was also an aspiring nun at one point, but her “insufficient docility” made this career choice a bad fit. I guess they call it a ...

Season one of Comedicine has wrapped and it was so much fun!! If you have been listening to Comedicine, you will know that the last question we ask every distinguished guest on the show is to personally invite Dr Ken Jeong to be a guest on Comedicine. Ken Jeong is the ultimate Comedicine guest! Have we heard from Ken? No, not yet, but I’m sure it is just a matter of time until Ken finds out about this podcast and his people call my...

Our guest this week needs no introduction because it’s me. It’s Sarah. I’m the guest. In our last episode of season one, Dr Vien Phommachanh (The Comic Doc) our friend and guest from episode 2, returns to host with Dr Sarah Boston as his guest. Why did we do this? Well mostly because last time Sarah and Vien talked, Vien had a lot of questions that Sarah refused to answer (because rules) and Vien said he’d love to come back as host...

I know, I know, it’s hard to believe, but in this episode, Sarah chats with Dr Will Flanary. You know, that guy, Glaucomflecken!! When Will/Glaucomflecken agreed to be a guest on Comedicine, Sarah squealed like a little girl on Christmas morning. (For reals though!) Will is a (human) ophthalmologist and (human) comedian who has become a (human) social media sensation with his videos that satirize, lampoon, ridicule and parody the i...

In this episode, Sarah gets to know Dr Dan, The Healthcare Comedian. Dr. Daniel Greenstein is a comedian and practicing dentist in South Florida. He was a winner on America’s Funniest People and a finalist in Colgate’s Search for America’s Funniest Dentist. He was also featured on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” for his parody album “Spit Happens!”. Dr Dan loves making people laugh in everything he does. That’s it, ...

Our guest on this episode has packed a lot of living into life so far and she is just getting started! Dr Natalie Tinney is a Peruvian Canadian/Canadian Peruvian who was born in the USA, but grew up in Canada and Peru and then went to medical school in Peru. After graduation, all hell broke loose (aka COVID) and she found herself working in a COVID ward in a remote Peruvian city in the Amazon during peak COVID. She is now a third-y...

Sarah gets a chance to catch up with Dr Caroline Brookfield, who is a veterinarian, author, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and stand-up comedian. (Also a friend. She is my friend.) She is on a mission to help unapologetic “left brainers” to amplify originality with a creative mindset. A creative mindset will help you to uncover novel solutions to chronic problems, refresh your well-being, and renew your zeal at work. Who doesn’t wa...

In this episode, Sarah has a spontaneous, totally improvised, not at all planned conversation with pharmacist and improv comedian, Cory Jenks. Dr Jenks earned his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of South Carolina in 2011. He is an ambulatory care clinical pharmacy specialist, where he tries to talk people into healthy lifestyle choices instead of taking medications, which seems antithetical, but it all makes sense. Co...

Sarah meets and interviews Dr Vien Phommachanh (The Comic Doc), who is the #1 Ranked, Laotian, Ear, Nose, & Throat Doctor/Comedian in Southwest, Florida (probably). Vien has performed standup all over the United States and overseas in clubs, theatres, and comedy festivals. They talk about the second-generation immigrant experience, snot, and how Tiger Balm probably cures everything. Vien also talks about how a career in medicin...

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 T...

Comedicine is an comedy podcast hosted by Dr Sarah Boston, who is a veterinary surgical oncologist and stand up comedian. Sarah interviews comedians who are also health care professionals (human and animal health). The Comedicine podcast will focus on our guest’s origins in medicine and stand up comedy, their joke-writing process and how they navigate these seemingly different worlds. This podcast is for anyone who enjoys comedy, i...
