For answers to your questions, and to learn more, visit www.ATB.com When Lars Callieou was just a young child, his parents and their band had a song hit the Billboard charts. He spent the next decade or so growing up on the road as they toured Canada, so it is no surprise that Lars was drawn to the entertainment industry and the stage. It wasn’t until he was in his early 20’s however, that he realized his passion was for comedy and not music. From his first open mic night in Edmonton to opening for and touring with superstars like Martin Short, Jeff Foxworthy, Rosanne Barr and Joan Rivers, Lars has carved out a nice career for himself. When Covid 19 hit this past spring and he found himself itching to entertain, he started the Firepit Comedy Tour, doing small, socially distant and safe backyard shows all around Alberta. Lars is a great guy, obviously funny and I had a great time chatting with him. You can find Lars online at www.extralars.com and on Instagram and Twitter @extralars Here are links to some YouTube links to check him out, and also links to some of the other performers he mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ2xKQ9z9LA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06lLTHhaugI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxAqgS8HdVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeOjFPPUV4M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFNWBBhnh2Y All music on The Eat More Barbecue podcast has been graciously provided by Alan Horabin.
