Madly Off In All Directions

''Madly Off In All Directions'' is a radio comedy show on CBC Radio One, featuring Canadian comedian Lorne Elliot. It has aired continually every Sunday afternoon at 1PM (1:30PM in Newfoundland) since 1996. The show travels around Canada, recording in front of a live audience at various local venues. The show provides a mix of stand-up, improvisational, sketch and musical comedy. Elliot usually begins the show with a monologue, and introduces the following acts, often comedians who are local to the area who are given the chance of national exposure through the program. Elliot's work first caught the attention of CBC with the airing of one of his concert performances on Definitely Not The Opera. He also did additional comedy segments for other CBC radio shows, including Basic Black, Sunday Showcase and Morningside. He was given the retiring Royal Canadian Air Farce's traditional radio show timeslot in 1996, and the show has become a regular weekly showcase of Canadian comedy. The name of the show is derived from a line used by famous Canadian humourist Stephen Leacock in his story ''Gertrude the Governess''. It is literally applicable in this case as the show travels across Canada, and the host and his guests cover the full range of the comedy spectrum. ==Discography== {| cellspacing=2 |- |
