The talented NYC-based comedian and singer-songwriter Sydney Kane has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely-Broadway stages to the glamorous 9x16 iPhone screen, and beyond. She built a loyal following on social media with her deeply insightful takes on dating, so sharp and relatable that even straight men are taking notes.
Kane will be filming her musical comedy variety show Wife Material live at The Green Room 42 in New York City on June 18. With musical direction by David Dabbon (arranger for Oh, Mary!, Cat Cohen, Las Culturistas Culture Awards, SNL 50) and direction by Andrew Mullins.The special touches on super relatable topics about the endless, exhausting loop of modern dating. While today's society seems to enjoy and glorify pushing women back to the 1950s, Kane pulls inspiration from comedic greats like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and more to turn and upend her perfectly set dinner table.
Through original songs, sketch comedy, and unfiltered storytelling, Sydney takes you on a PG-13 (leaning R) rated journey through the most universal experience there is: falling in love. And then falling out. And then falling back in. And then regretting it. And then telling your friends you're done. And then you get over it. And then you meet someone new. And then you fall in love. Does this ever end? You'll have to see the show to find out! (It doesn't. but still see the show.)

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. How are you doing today?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Oh my god, you sound really awake. Hi, I'm good.
How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Oh? I'm ready to have a conversation with you, because
you're dealing with something here that I think everybody can
relate with. And it doesn't matter how old you are,
how young you are, whatever, but it's something that people
can relate with.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
A groggy morning, okay. Speaking of my dating.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Life, absolutely absolutely good. And you know what shocks me
about that, and it's that, you know, people they do
talk about a dating life, but yet are we dating
or are we just hanging out with friends?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I think dating should be hanging out with friends. I
think that's the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I think that dating has been defined as something so
grand when really it like can just be very simple.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But people freak out and then they think it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Has to be this amazing thing that like you feel
all these things inside of you and it just clicks,
when really it's like, well do you feel good and happy?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And then it's like yes, and it's like then that
can just be fine.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah what you mean? Because I've been married for thirty
two years and I still call her my best friend?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Wow? Yes, oh my gosh, yeah, my my parents just
had their thirtieth anniversary as well.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Wow, see there's you know, there's not even a secret
to it. You just kind of just hang hey, you're
still here. I love you, Thanks for hanging out with
me last night.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My dad and my mom are best friends.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And so the standards of me growing up like to
find someone like that, it was a I have pretty
I have pretty high standards, but also just quite simple
standards too. I would say, like, are we having a
good time, great, let's keep seeing each other.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Are you now annoying me and doing bad things? Then
we should stop seeing each other.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
How do they handle your creative mindset? Because creative people
can go in any direction at the drop of a hat.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
My parents are my prospects.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
How about yeah, how about the prospects? Because I remember
my wife looking at me in our beginning stagees she says,
don't give me your dj ego crap. I know people
more famous than you.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, unfortunately I do tend to date people that are
also actors, which, like they say not to do, and
as one I would agree. But uh, honestly, like the
thing I found to be the funniest is like people
are always just really surprised that I'm funny, Like it's
almost a little bit like, yeah, women can be funny.
(02:24):
I'm allowed to make you laugh as well. But ultimately
everyone's really supportive, Like I've never actually had someone who
was rude about it. I've had people who belittle me
a little bit about it. Like, but also like this
is just like if someone says that they're an actor,
don't ask, well, have I seen you in anything?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You do see them in anything? Like you would know
if you've seen me in anything.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, that's like asking a radio disc jockie, So where
do your station you on? Does it matter? Does it matter?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's like asking a flight It's like asking like a pilot, like, oh, well,
have I flown on one of your planes?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Maybe? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Would I offend to you if I said that you
are the Taylor Swift of comedy writing and storytelling because
you really do relate with people through what you're presenting
every day.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Oh god, I mean that is a huge comparison. I mean,
I love her so much. I am going to let
you say that because I.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Would never compare myself.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But as far as like using my actual experiences to
talk about like to like fuel my content. Yes. Actually,
something happened the other day where a guy ended things
with me over a text and it was this long
message I swear to got chat GPT wrote it and
he was like, at the very end of it said
hope you're having a great Thursday so far at the
(03:49):
end of.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The text, and I was like, well, honestly, up until
this text, I was having a great Thursday so far.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And I posted about it on TikTok and of me
and he was supposed to call me to like talk
further about it, because I was like, this warrants a
phone call TVH like this is crazy that you're sending
me this long text. And he never called, and I
wonder I wonder if he saw the TikTok. Sorry, but
it was funny, Like you can't, like you have to
(04:18):
have a sense of humor if you're going to date me,
I think, because I have, Like I post all the time.
One time this guy who didn't know chapel Rone was
and I posted this video of me crying on the
street like also it's also it's all a joke, Like
everyone has to calm down. I'm very rarely actually being
serious on my social media.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Everything is always actually I'm lying.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Everything I say is dead serious, and you should take
it as though it is written in print from the
bible of my brain.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I mean, in radio, we actually drew lines inside the
area where the jocks hung out, and we would tell
salespeople and other people that do not cross this line
and expect to be treated like, Oh my god, you're
the greatest thing on the planet, because when you come
on our side of the building, we're gonna be sarcastic,
We're gonna be cutting each other down, We're gonna be
trying to be really damn funny.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm gonna draw a circle around me, and time I
go on a date with a guy, I'm gonna be like,
do not enter this circle unless you can laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Laugh at yourself and laugh at other people that are
walking by. Because I like heathering. I like going out
there and people watching and going, oh my.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
God, you say it out loud.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I I'll sit there. I think my looks are enough
to say things. Instead of me just saying it out loud,
I'll do an expression and they're going, what what what
what what?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh my gosh, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I don't know if I do that so much I do.
People do make me laugh though, like the ways that
humans interact I find is kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Now, your roots, i've read, are coming from the the
areas of Carol Burnette and Lucille Ball. I'm a huge
fan of Carol Burnette, so I mean that means that
I love her. Oh my god? Is it because she
just she knew us and she like she was part
of our lives instead of us being part of her life.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I have no idea how she did it or like
made me feel like I grew up watching most of
her show, and I sorry, I mean like most of
like most of my childhood was me watching her show.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I don't know. Just yeah, I think I think
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
She like just made us feel She made me feel
so seen from a TV screen.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So it's just like, I don't.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Know how the heck she managed to do that, But
that's a dream of mine to be able to do
for people like I just want to be everyone's friend
and make everyone laugh and feel happy all the time
or sad depending on how I'm feeling.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
How do you deal with that when you when you've
been at a comedy club and then at the end
of the night you've got to shake hands and kiss
babies and sell merchugh.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Uh, well, this might make people crazy. I've never done
an open mic before.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I did one one time and I was not in
my best headspace, and my friend let me go on
for eight minutes, which is and it was my first time,
and I was like, honestly, that was really rude of you.
You should not let a new comic go on for
eight minutes. That's basically I should have just read my diary.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Honestly. That probably actually that would have been better than
what I could did up there.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But I would say, no, I love talking to people,
like after my show, like I kind of go in
this days though, like I kind of am, like I
just performed, like, but I know I love connecting with people.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I have no struggles with seeing people after a performance.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
How do you How do you react when you get
home though, after you've been with so many people for
so long, and then your dog is staring at you
when you're at home, or your cat and they're going, uh,
my turn for some attention. Can you give me some
human attention?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh my god, I wish I had dogs here if
I was home in Texas I would come on to
my dogs and I would immediately just give them all
the attention. I'm an extrovert, so I get energy from
hanging out with other people. Sometimes I have to like
cocoon for like a day or two and just like
watch Real Housewives or Gossip Girl for the thirty one
thousandth time. You sound like a Gossip Girl fan to me.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I'm into drama, into that kind of thing. And the
reason why is because I believe that the things that
we watch on binge watching is I think it's they
are lessons in life that we can take back out
into the real world.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, I think Gossip Girl has taught me a lot
of life lessons for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So now where did the material come from for wife material?
Because I mean this is something that you put a
lot of thought and energy into and to explore it
the way that you have.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, a lot of Someone told me I wasn't wife material,
and then I kept seeing him and I still kind
of am seeing we're very even right now, like he
was at the show, like he knows, but like the
hearing that, like someone saying that I'm not wife material.
(09:02):
The it wasn't even like the idea of it. It
was just the words together made me cringe. I was like,
wife material, like that's actually something that people.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Really for sure say, like in a real way.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So that made me really mad. And then I was like, well,
then what is wife material?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
What is that? Is it like a fabric? Is it?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like? I just started getting heady about it, and so
I ended up making it a pill that like I
take like to make me more of whatever a guy
would want, you know, because that's like what I tend
to do in dating is I just become whatever the
person wants me to be, which is not good and
don't do that. But yeah, and I just wanted to
(09:44):
do it in this way because it is not like
it is not like very funny, like it is sad.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But that's funny.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't know like there, which is why I wanted
to do it in this like nineteen fifties type of
way where it has this like tone of like a sitcom,
because I felt like I was in a sitcom trying
to like make this person like me and my friends
and they get mad at me, they'd be like Sydney
and then I don't know. It all kind of really
(10:11):
wrote itself and the songs like wrote themselves too. I
wrote them with a bunch of people because I can't
play the piano or the guitar or anything I wish
I could, but I have very talented friends who are musicians.
And the song ideas actually came to me the fastest
and the easiest because I love writing lyrics. I love it,
And then the sketches kind of came after, and basically
(10:32):
the whole show is like and I love Lucy episode,
but it's called like who Loves Sydney, so.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You watch like that's like the arc of the show.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
But then sprinkled in is like some stand up stuff
and songs and yeah, it's super silly.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So in reality it's a variety show.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It is a variety show.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Please do not move. There's more with Sidney Kane coming
up next. Hey, thanks for coming back to my conversation
with comedian and music Sidney Kane. I love the idea
that of you writing the lyrics and allowing the musicians
to step in to showcase their art. And the reason
why is because I did the same thing with two
of my collections of music. But the thing, did you
(11:13):
have trouble sitting down with somebody and saying all right,
this is what you need to do with the song.
Because I would have guitarists come in and they would
give give me their interpretation. Then the drummer would come
in and give me their interpretation, and it was like, wait,
I'm losing control here. How did you stay in control?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
My amazing collaborator, David Davin, is like probably one of
the most talented uh like musician. His musicianship is phenomenal.
He arranged every single song and he is brilliant if like,
he just is brilliant. He's done a lot of arrangements
on Broadway and he's known me for ten years now.
(11:50):
And this whole thing with him was I wasn't going
to do this without anyone else that have been him.
He's cut me in line, and yeah, he's just he's
my my savior.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm not religious.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Now, would you say that you've got multiple personalities because
the musician, yeah, the comedian, the person that wants to
be in love. So I see, and I call that transition.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
But I have about sixty different versions than myself.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I get it. I totally get it. You are an.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Artist, yeah, yeah, I've never said yeah that quickly does
someone being like and you're an artist.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm like, I guess, but yeah, I have a lot
of different I contain multitudes.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
How do you keep them in line? Because you have
to have that discipline. I have to write every single
morning by seven am.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Vibe ance.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I love my ADHD medications very much. I'm a big
proponent for it.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
That's how your speed in answering questions. You're a stream thinker.
You allow that moment to happen, even though it's like
it passes you before you even know what you said.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know what I'm saying half the time. Everything fascinating.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Why didn't you choose radio?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'm too vain? I like being seen.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well that's this generation. We all want to be seen,
we all want to be heard. But still, I mean, but,
I mean, then how come you're not podcasting on YouTube?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Then? Well, so I started a podcast, but it got
to be too much time with no no, I wasn't
getting paid for it, and like not that I'm in
listen I am very much.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I understand it takes a lot to take something off
like that. I'll probably go back to it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But I did start one, and it was really fun
and I really liked it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
But like it was just I would have to have
someone else help me with it, like doing it all
by myself. My friend Skyler Forkang was helping me with it.
He would like engineer the audio, but I would edit
it because I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I love editing.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So now, are the rumors true that you filmed this
at the Green Room forty two in New York?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Rumors? Yeah, it is being filmed.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Wow, oh wow. To be in that room and the
history of what's been going on in that room, do
you feel it?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah? I feel it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I really do feel it. It is an honor to
be able to perform there.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, because I mean I always believe that comedians when
they go into the room. Maybe it's just me. I'm
a freak. When I go into a room, I will
sit there. There have been many times I will make
marks on the wall and the next time I come
back in, I'll see if that mark is still there. Wait,
because it's not because I want to be remembered. It's like,
for instance, like over over at one O seven to
nine here in Charlotte, if you take out the fire extinguish,
(14:33):
youre no, no, no no. What I do is if
you take the fire extinguish you're out over by the elevator.
Inside it, I sat there and said, Mayor Pat McCrory
is mayor again, and in hopes that one day somebody
will find that and go, who the hell did this?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Mm hmmm. I have not done that, but now I might.
I'm gonna punch a hole in the log too.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
No no, no, I've hit walls.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You don't want to do that. Protect those knuckles.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
My nails are too long for that. Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Now, what have you learned about love in doing this?
Because when you start messing around with creativity and love,
I mean you have to be a student as well.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Nothing, nothing, No, you never learned anything. Well, I mean
I think I've learned.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
That you get experience and then you do the same
thing over and over again, just having more experience.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And that's what I've learned.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Is that your way of saying you're looking forward to
getting older?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I'm done with my twenties.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Get me out.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Everyone's having a great time in their thirties. I actually
can't wait.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm telling you what, We're having more fun in our sixties.
I guarantee we're having more fun than you are. Yes,
we are because we don't give We don't give a crap.
We just keep getting.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, I'm so excited. Yeah I can't. I love getting older.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I mean, well, yeah, do you go back and forth?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Do you find yourself hitting the road and bringing this
face to face? Because I would love to see you
at the Comedy Zone here in Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Absolutely, I would love to tour it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We're trying to figure out how we do it without
other actors in it, but I feel like it would
just be playing all the parts, which is also very funny.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
So I think that there. Yeah, there's absolutely a world
where I will keep.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Boring because you have that kind of personality where you
could mess around with the theater of our mind.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah. Oh, I love like the phantom in your head?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
What else are you working on? Are you going to
work on other types of music as well? After this?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I Actually we're releasing my single on June thirteenth, called
Straight Passing By, which is about people assuming that I'm straight,
but I'm bisexual. I'm actually pan sexual, but people don't.
I can say this because I am worse than being bisexual.
And I can say that because I am pan sexual go.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Deeper into that. What does that mean for a lot
of people that are going what that's a new one
on me.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Being me being bisexual or pan sexual pan sexual?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I just like people like I don't really have a
pref' I don't really like have a I don't have
a gender preference, like I don't really I never have
bought into that. I've never associated myself with that. I
just really love and connect with people period. And but
the whole bisexual aspect of it is like they say
(17:36):
that like by girls always have a boyfriend, and it
is true, Like it is true, But I would say
I'm like by pan sexual, I just like connecting with people.
But it's a very funny, silly song about tongue in cheek,
(17:56):
like we need more people to be aware of like bisexuals.
And it is absolutely satirical because you know, we actually
should be focusing on, you know, other aspects of that community.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Absolutely. Where can people go to find out more about
what you're doing and follow you?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You can follow me at Sydney Morgan Kine on Instagram
and TikTok and then.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Also Sydney Kane on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I love it. Please come back to the show anytime
in the future. The door is always going to be
open for you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):

put the date on it. I will be brilliant today Okay.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Two
Good morning. How are you doing today?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Oh my god, you sound really awake. Hi, I'm good.
How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Oh? I'm ready to have a conversation with you, because
you're dealing with something here that I think everybody can
relate with. And it doesn't matter how old you are,
how young you are, whatever, but it's something that people
can relate with.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
A groggy morning, okay. Speaking of my dating.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Life, absolutely absolutely good. And you know what shocks me
about that, and it's that, you know, people they do
talk about a dating life, but yet are we dating
or are we just hanging out with friends?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I think dating should be hanging out with friends. I
think that's the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I think that dating has been defined as something so
grand when really it like can just be very simple.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But people freak out and then they think it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Has to be this amazing thing that like you feel
all these things inside of you and it just clicks,
when really it's like, well do you feel good and happy?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And then it's like yes, and it's like then that
can just be fine.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah what you mean? Because I've been married for thirty
two years and I still call her my best friend?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Wow? Yes, oh my gosh, yeah, my my parents just
had their thirtieth anniversary as well.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Wow, see there's you know, there's not even a secret
to it. You just kind of just hang hey, you're
still here. I love you, Thanks for hanging out with
me last night.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My dad and my mom are best friends.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And so the standards of me growing up like to
find someone like that, it was a I have pretty
I have pretty high standards, but also just quite simple
standards too. I would say, like, are we having a
good time, great, let's keep seeing each other.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Are you now annoying me and doing bad things? Then
we should stop seeing each other.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
How do they handle your creative mindset? Because creative people
can go in any direction at the drop of a hat.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
My parents are my prospects.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
How about yeah, how about the prospects? Because I remember
my wife looking at me in our beginning stagees she says,
don't give me your dj ego crap. I know people
more famous than you.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, unfortunately I do tend to date people that are
also actors, which, like they say not to do, and
as one I would agree. But uh, honestly, like the
thing I found to be the funniest is like people
are always just really surprised that I'm funny, Like it's
almost a little bit like, yeah, women can be funny.
(02:24):
I'm allowed to make you laugh as well. But ultimately
everyone's really supportive, Like I've never actually had someone who
was rude about it. I've had people who belittle me
a little bit about it. Like, but also like this
is just like if someone says that they're an actor,
don't ask, well, have I seen you in anything?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You do see them in anything? Like you would know
if you've seen me in anything.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, that's like asking a radio disc jockie, So where
do your station you on? Does it matter? Does it matter?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's like asking a flight It's like asking like a pilot, like, oh, well,
have I flown on one of your planes?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Maybe? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Would I offend to you if I said that you
are the Taylor Swift of comedy writing and storytelling because
you really do relate with people through what you're presenting
every day.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Oh god, I mean that is a huge comparison. I mean,
I love her so much. I am going to let
you say that because I.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Would never compare myself.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But as far as like using my actual experiences to
talk about like to like fuel my content. Yes. Actually,
something happened the other day where a guy ended things
with me over a text and it was this long
message I swear to got chat GPT wrote it and
he was like, at the very end of it said
hope you're having a great Thursday so far at the
(03:49):
end of.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The text, and I was like, well, honestly, up until
this text, I was having a great Thursday so far.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And I posted about it on TikTok and of me
and he was supposed to call me to like talk
further about it, because I was like, this warrants a
phone call TVH like this is crazy that you're sending
me this long text. And he never called, and I
wonder I wonder if he saw the TikTok. Sorry, but
it was funny, Like you can't, like you have to
(04:18):
have a sense of humor if you're going to date me,
I think, because I have, Like I post all the time.
One time this guy who didn't know chapel Rone was
and I posted this video of me crying on the
street like also it's also it's all a joke, Like
everyone has to calm down. I'm very rarely actually being
serious on my social media.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Everything is always actually I'm lying.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Everything I say is dead serious, and you should take
it as though it is written in print from the
bible of my brain.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I mean, in radio, we actually drew lines inside the
area where the jocks hung out, and we would tell
salespeople and other people that do not cross this line
and expect to be treated like, Oh my god, you're
the greatest thing on the planet, because when you come
on our side of the building, we're gonna be sarcastic,
We're gonna be cutting each other down, We're gonna be
trying to be really damn funny.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm gonna draw a circle around me, and time I
go on a date with a guy, I'm gonna be like,
do not enter this circle unless you can laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Laugh at yourself and laugh at other people that are
walking by. Because I like heathering. I like going out
there and people watching and going, oh my.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
God, you say it out loud.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I I'll sit there. I think my looks are enough
to say things. Instead of me just saying it out loud,
I'll do an expression and they're going, what what what
what what?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh my gosh, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I don't know if I do that so much I do.
People do make me laugh though, like the ways that
humans interact I find is kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Now, your roots, i've read, are coming from the the
areas of Carol Burnette and Lucille Ball. I'm a huge
fan of Carol Burnette, so I mean that means that
I love her. Oh my god? Is it because she
just she knew us and she like she was part
of our lives instead of us being part of her life.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I have no idea how she did it or like
made me feel like I grew up watching most of
her show, and I sorry, I mean like most of
like most of my childhood was me watching her show.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I don't know. Just yeah, I think I think
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
She like just made us feel She made me feel
so seen from a TV screen.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So it's just like, I don't.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Know how the heck she managed to do that, But
that's a dream of mine to be able to do
for people like I just want to be everyone's friend
and make everyone laugh and feel happy all the time
or sad depending on how I'm feeling.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
How do you deal with that when you when you've
been at a comedy club and then at the end
of the night you've got to shake hands and kiss
babies and sell merchugh.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Uh, well, this might make people crazy. I've never done
an open mic before.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I did one one time and I was not in
my best headspace, and my friend let me go on
for eight minutes, which is and it was my first time,
and I was like, honestly, that was really rude of you.
You should not let a new comic go on for
eight minutes. That's basically I should have just read my diary.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Honestly. That probably actually that would have been better than
what I could did up there.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But I would say, no, I love talking to people,
like after my show, like I kind of go in
this days though, like I kind of am, like I
just performed, like, but I know I love connecting with people.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I have no struggles with seeing people after a performance.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
How do you How do you react when you get
home though, after you've been with so many people for
so long, and then your dog is staring at you
when you're at home, or your cat and they're going, uh,
my turn for some attention. Can you give me some
human attention?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh my god, I wish I had dogs here if
I was home in Texas I would come on to
my dogs and I would immediately just give them all
the attention. I'm an extrovert, so I get energy from
hanging out with other people. Sometimes I have to like
cocoon for like a day or two and just like
watch Real Housewives or Gossip Girl for the thirty one
thousandth time. You sound like a Gossip Girl fan to me.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I'm into drama, into that kind of thing. And the
reason why is because I believe that the things that
we watch on binge watching is I think it's they
are lessons in life that we can take back out
into the real world.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, I think Gossip Girl has taught me a lot
of life lessons for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So now where did the material come from for wife material?
Because I mean this is something that you put a
lot of thought and energy into and to explore it
the way that you have.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, a lot of Someone told me I wasn't wife material,
and then I kept seeing him and I still kind
of am seeing we're very even right now, like he
was at the show, like he knows, but like the
hearing that, like someone saying that I'm not wife material.
(09:02):
The it wasn't even like the idea of it. It
was just the words together made me cringe. I was like,
wife material, like that's actually something that people.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Really for sure say, like in a real way.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So that made me really mad. And then I was like, well,
then what is wife material?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
What is that? Is it like a fabric? Is it?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like? I just started getting heady about it, and so
I ended up making it a pill that like I
take like to make me more of whatever a guy
would want, you know, because that's like what I tend
to do in dating is I just become whatever the
person wants me to be, which is not good and
don't do that. But yeah, and I just wanted to
(09:44):
do it in this way because it is not like
it is not like very funny, like it is sad.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But that's funny.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't know like there, which is why I wanted
to do it in this like nineteen fifties type of
way where it has this like tone of like a sitcom,
because I felt like I was in a sitcom trying
to like make this person like me and my friends
and they get mad at me, they'd be like Sydney
and then I don't know. It all kind of really
(10:11):
wrote itself and the songs like wrote themselves too. I
wrote them with a bunch of people because I can't
play the piano or the guitar or anything I wish
I could, but I have very talented friends who are musicians.
And the song ideas actually came to me the fastest
and the easiest because I love writing lyrics. I love it,
And then the sketches kind of came after, and basically
(10:32):
the whole show is like and I love Lucy episode,
but it's called like who Loves Sydney, so.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You watch like that's like the arc of the show.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
But then sprinkled in is like some stand up stuff
and songs and yeah, it's super silly.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So in reality it's a variety show.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It is a variety show.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Please do not move. There's more with Sidney Kane coming
up next. Hey, thanks for coming back to my conversation
with comedian and music Sidney Kane. I love the idea
that of you writing the lyrics and allowing the musicians
to step in to showcase their art. And the reason
why is because I did the same thing with two
of my collections of music. But the thing, did you
(11:13):
have trouble sitting down with somebody and saying all right,
this is what you need to do with the song.
Because I would have guitarists come in and they would
give give me their interpretation. Then the drummer would come
in and give me their interpretation, and it was like, wait,
I'm losing control here. How did you stay in control?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
My amazing collaborator, David Davin, is like probably one of
the most talented uh like musician. His musicianship is phenomenal.
He arranged every single song and he is brilliant if like,
he just is brilliant. He's done a lot of arrangements
on Broadway and he's known me for ten years now.
(11:50):
And this whole thing with him was I wasn't going
to do this without anyone else that have been him.
He's cut me in line, and yeah, he's just he's
my my savior.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm not religious.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Now, would you say that you've got multiple personalities because
the musician, yeah, the comedian, the person that wants to
be in love. So I see, and I call that transition.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
But I have about sixty different versions than myself.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I get it. I totally get it. You are an.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Artist, yeah, yeah, I've never said yeah that quickly does
someone being like and you're an artist.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm like, I guess, but yeah, I have a lot
of different I contain multitudes.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
How do you keep them in line? Because you have
to have that discipline. I have to write every single
morning by seven am.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Vibe ance.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I love my ADHD medications very much. I'm a big
proponent for it.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
That's how your speed in answering questions. You're a stream thinker.
You allow that moment to happen, even though it's like
it passes you before you even know what you said.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know what I'm saying half the time. Everything fascinating.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Why didn't you choose radio?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'm too vain? I like being seen.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well that's this generation. We all want to be seen,
we all want to be heard. But still, I mean, but,
I mean, then how come you're not podcasting on YouTube?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Then? Well, so I started a podcast, but it got
to be too much time with no no, I wasn't
getting paid for it, and like not that I'm in
listen I am very much.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I understand it takes a lot to take something off
like that. I'll probably go back to it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But I did start one, and it was really fun
and I really liked it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
But like it was just I would have to have
someone else help me with it, like doing it all
by myself. My friend Skyler Forkang was helping me with it.
He would like engineer the audio, but I would edit
it because I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I love editing.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So now, are the rumors true that you filmed this
at the Green Room forty two in New York?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Rumors? Yeah, it is being filmed.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Wow, oh wow. To be in that room and the
history of what's been going on in that room, do
you feel it?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah? I feel it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I really do feel it. It is an honor to
be able to perform there.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, because I mean I always believe that comedians when
they go into the room. Maybe it's just me. I'm
a freak. When I go into a room, I will
sit there. There have been many times I will make
marks on the wall and the next time I come
back in, I'll see if that mark is still there. Wait,
because it's not because I want to be remembered. It's like,
for instance, like over over at one O seven to
nine here in Charlotte, if you take out the fire extinguish,
(14:33):
youre no, no, no no. What I do is if
you take the fire extinguish you're out over by the elevator.
Inside it, I sat there and said, Mayor Pat McCrory
is mayor again, and in hopes that one day somebody
will find that and go, who the hell did this?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Mm hmmm. I have not done that, but now I might.
I'm gonna punch a hole in the log too.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
No no, no, I've hit walls.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You don't want to do that. Protect those knuckles.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
My nails are too long for that. Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Now, what have you learned about love in doing this?
Because when you start messing around with creativity and love,
I mean you have to be a student as well.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Nothing, nothing, No, you never learned anything. Well, I mean
I think I've learned.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
That you get experience and then you do the same
thing over and over again, just having more experience.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And that's what I've learned.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Is that your way of saying you're looking forward to
getting older?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I'm done with my twenties.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Get me out.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Everyone's having a great time in their thirties. I actually
can't wait.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm telling you what, We're having more fun in our sixties.
I guarantee we're having more fun than you are. Yes,
we are because we don't give We don't give a crap.
We just keep getting.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, I'm so excited. Yeah I can't. I love getting older.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I mean, well, yeah, do you go back and forth?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Do you find yourself hitting the road and bringing this
face to face? Because I would love to see you
at the Comedy Zone here in Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Absolutely, I would love to tour it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We're trying to figure out how we do it without
other actors in it, but I feel like it would
just be playing all the parts, which is also very funny.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
So I think that there. Yeah, there's absolutely a world
where I will keep.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Boring because you have that kind of personality where you
could mess around with the theater of our mind.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah. Oh, I love like the phantom in your head?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
What else are you working on? Are you going to
work on other types of music as well? After this?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I Actually we're releasing my single on June thirteenth, called
Straight Passing By, which is about people assuming that I'm straight,
but I'm bisexual. I'm actually pan sexual, but people don't.
I can say this because I am worse than being bisexual.
And I can say that because I am pan sexual go.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Deeper into that. What does that mean for a lot
of people that are going what that's a new one
on me.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Being me being bisexual or pan sexual pan sexual?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I just like people like I don't really have a
pref' I don't really like have a I don't have
a gender preference, like I don't really I never have
bought into that. I've never associated myself with that. I
just really love and connect with people period. And but
the whole bisexual aspect of it is like they say
(17:36):
that like by girls always have a boyfriend, and it
is true, Like it is true, But I would say
I'm like by pan sexual, I just like connecting with people.
But it's a very funny, silly song about tongue in cheek,
(17:56):
like we need more people to be aware of like bisexuals.
And it is absolutely satirical because you know, we actually
should be focusing on, you know, other aspects of that community.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Absolutely. Where can people go to find out more about
what you're doing and follow you?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You can follow me at Sydney Morgan Kine on Instagram
and TikTok and then.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Also Sydney Kane on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I love it. Please come back to the show anytime
in the future. The door is always going to be
open for you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Great, I'll like leave a hole in the wall okay.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I love it, and make sure you sign it and
put the date on it. I will be brilliant today Okay.
