Some people judge other people. Some parents (me) judge other parents (everyone else) for being ridiculous parents. Especially when it comes to Lego. Specifically cleaning up Lego. John loves Lego. And I think that’s great. He plays with it every day - and for a kid who tends...
(VIDEO BELOW) If I gave you a kazoo, right now, and asked: Do you know which end you put your mouth on? Could you make noise with it? Would you get both right? You might think, “Sure Dave - that’s easy. Only an idiot would get those wrong.” This is the...
I needed a big finish for the show… and I was stumped. It was the biggest show of our lives, by far. Last Christmas we did a Dave Kelly Live show at Lunchbox for 110 people. This year, we’d grown a bit and the show...

We’re getting ready for next week’s Dave Kelly Live, going over rundowns, guests, videos (yes, the next installment of “Canadians in Cars Getting Coffee” is even more ridiculous), story bits (the Opening should be awesome, as long as I don’t screw it up), interviews (the...
We do a fun segment on DKL called Show and Tell - and it’s exactly what you think it would be if you can remember elementary school. We bring out a table on stage with something on it that is covered with a cloth. Music plays....
