Wrath of a Blonde & World Series of Comedy EP416
Laura Banks's new memoir, The Wrath of Blonde, is a true-life story about an adventurous girl who leaves her home in Kansas for California in search of fame, fortune, and frolic – and finds all three. The compelling book takes the reader through Laura’s life from surviving a dysfunctional childhood to working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. It traces her early years as an actress, including landing a small, but pivotal role in Star Trek II, how Whoopi Goldberg came into her life, her romantic encounter with William Shatner, and finding success as an author, comedian, and actress.
Laura was a regular at the famous Improvisation in NYC as well as the Comedy Cellar. She was a member of an improv comedy troupe with Whoopi entitled, Spontaneous Combustion. She went on to become a bestselling author with Embracing Your Big Fat Ass, an Owner's Manual, and Breaking the Rules: Last-Ditch Tactics for Landing the Man of Your Dreams, cowritten by Janette Barber and published by Simon and Schuster.
And, as if acting, writing, and comedy weren’t enough, the stars have truly aligned in Laura’s case; not only as an actress on Star Trek but also as a renowned astrologer. True Trekkies, and others, can now have their charts read by someone whose actually been to the stars.

Jason Rowland – World Series of Comedy
Born in Victoria, BC to travel-curious parents, Jason spent time in Fort Nelson, BC, the Cayman Islands and Edmonton prior to moving to Vancouver in 1995. A life long comedy fan, Jason was introduced to George Carlin’s Class Clown album at age 13 by his Uncle Jim. To this day, Carlin remains on Jason’s Mount Rushmore of comedians.
The former General Manager of The Comedy MIX in Vancouver, BC, Jason has over a decaded of experience in the comedy community. The MIX – as it was affectionately known – was an incredible environment to develop many of the criteria Jason now uses with Comedy Feedback. As Vancouver’s premiere standup location, The MIX was *the* hub for national and international touring comedians, and an incredible Ground Zero to learn about the business of comedy. Working with club owner Mario and former booker Brandy, Jason was quickly immersed in the day-to-day operations of running a club. In addition to booking duties during his tenure with the club, Jason acted as guest judge for JFL’s Homegrown competition, Sirius XM’s Next Top Comic, and NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity. In fact, there was one day that Jason saw and judged 92 separate LIVE showcase sets IN. ONE. DAY.
Since moving on from The Comedy MIX, Jason has worked closely with The World Series of Comedy, and served as head judge of the competition since 2017. That has translated into watching, judging and providing feedback on hundreds of submission videos and live performances every year. A conservative estimate at time of writing (Dec 2022) puts Jason as having seen 10,000 live showcase sets and 5,000 submission videos in the past decade.
A big fan of sports and playing games, Jason can be found playing hockey, poker or golf in any spare time that isn’t already spent on the couch cheering on his beloved Oilers and Broncos.
