The bad boy of The Town Show, Kevin Lee is back. And in true rebellious fashion he doesn’t say one thing that warrants a disclaimer. He does, however, create a new festival for our town called The All Night, which is a combo of The Purge and the solstice. He also builds a dinner theatre for the town called Act Chew The Story Zoo, which boasts an international buffet and a play that is very anti tourist called Rift Raft. He also talk about living in Alaska when he was twenty and spending most of the time reading Lord of The Rings.

Yeehaw it’s time for another round up. Mark and Ryan read your letters and play a townie’s voice note. The town gets an improv group, a toy store, a pirate parade that is a weird form of extortion, and the 1986 film F/X plays a pivotal role in this episode.

Tom Hill of Hip.Bang Comedy joins Mark and Ryan to talk about the 3 foot rock he had in his yard growing up in Edmonton. Then he gets really spicy about his hometown of Regina and tells us everything wrong with it. He build a Squash Club where the elite of our town make deals, he helps our town break a Guinness World Record, and he introduces a new restaurant called the Hands Only.

Mark and Ryan host a rare late night session and invite their producer, Chris Kelly on as guest! He talks about growing up in Winnipeg and why his home province of New Brunswick needs a glow up. He also creates the town’s first flag … although a new one might need to be made. Squint Lake gets a new piece of lore and a whole lot of new shows are made for the local radio station, including a show called Motorhead Baking.

Improviser Sarah Ferguson stops by the show to talk about growing up in Airdrie, Albert and shares with us the most shocking rumour about what it means to leave your garage door open a little bit in her town. She creates our town’s first karaoke bar, Singing in the Main. She is also a former horse girl and so she builds our town a stable.

Welcome to The Outskirts, a new mini-series that looks at the outer reaches of our town. It’s a little darker, a little weirder, a place where freaks and lost storylines roam. Take a listen as Mark and Ryan introduce you to the residents of the Laughing Ghost Hotel and Gas Station.

Comedian Brad MacNeil stops by the show to talk about moving from town to town as a military kid. He teaches Mark about Gordon Korman. Brad also builds the town’s first video store: Kideo Video. Cool, right? We also expose an illegal slug ring that is having devastating effects on the arcades in town.

Our first ever guest, Pete Oldring (CBC’s This Is That), is back! He talks about his chickens and an exotic pet hospital in Santa Monica. He also revisits the fountain he built in Ep 1. We actually witness a “town perm” ceremony. And Peter answers one of your letters as legendary town advice columnist Barnaby Advises.

Taz Van Rassel is back! Our first returning guest. Mark and Ryan’s improvising partner from The Sunday Service, comes back on the show to update some storylines, specifically that of Bill Harris - a town resident who was caught stealing from local bakery Yeast Meets West. We also learn some troubling things about Party Island. Taz also inadvertently starts an Escape Room league in our town … which means our town has multiple escape rooms. We think.

It’s another round up and we got some excellent new additions from Townies. In this episode we: Build a hospital that has some serious prime time drama, visit The First Cut Is The Cheapest Hair Salon, go deep inside the Town’s pyrite mine, and have a meal at Mayor McDaddy’s restaurant.
