Is Laughter the best medicine? We attempt to answer this and other pressing questions in Doctor Vs Comedian. Dr Asif Doja is a pediatric neurologist and Ali Hassan is a stand up comedian and actor (CBC‘s Laugh Out Loud, Designated Survivor, Goon) who are each fascinated by what the other one does. In each episode, Asif picks a topic for Ali from comedy and entertainment and questions Ali about it. Then Ali picks a topic from medicine and health and grills Asif on that subject.We talk about serious subjects in an unserious way. If you want to hear about comedy, entertainment, health and wellness and don‘t want to have to choose between being entertaining AND informed, then this show is for you.

Episode 226: Improv Comedy (with Rob Baker and Jan Caruana)

Today on a special episode, Ali and Asif interview comedians Rob Baker and Jan Caruana about all things Improv. They start off by asking Jan and Rob about how they originally got involved with improv and if there is a type of person who is drawn to Improv. They discuss what makes good improv and differentiate between short and long form Improv. They then go over “dramatic” Improv, the relationship between sketch comedy and Improv and “Whose Line is it Anyway”. Ali then asks Rob and Jan about the key role of the audience in Improv. Finally, they ask Rob and Jan about their favourite medical topics (and then they go into a digression about the other Rob Baker from the band The Tragically Hip)!
