S2 Behind the Scenes – Sharing the Lens

bob — Mon, 30 May 2011 15:58:22 +0000

We’re just one week away from the launch of season 2 of Bob & Andrew. You can feel the excitement in the air, people are literally partying in the streets here in Vancouver. We’ve never seen anything like it. In a strange aside – a lot of Bob & Andrew fans also seem to be big hockey fans.

In our last behind the scenes look at season 2, we talk to Keith Opatovsky and Darren Borrowman about switching off as director from episode to episode. Look forward to episodes 3 and 4 of season 2, directed by Keith.

S2 Behind the Scenes – Location, Location, Location

bob — Mon, 23 May 2011 21:50:20 +0000

While shooting the majority of season 1 in a 500 square foot apartment was a lot of fun. We decided to branch out for season 2. Among the branches we branched to were English Bay, Republic Night Club, Yaggers Downtown as well as all of our friend’s apartments. In fact, in order to be allowed to guest star in our show, we contractually obligated everyone to allow us access to their house as a location.

Thanks as always to Redbud Films for producing these behind the scenes docs.

S2 Behind the Scenes – Will the Reel Bob & Andrew Please Step Forward

bob — Mon, 16 May 2011 15:54:44 +0000

Acting is an art. A fine art. An art that is not to be toyed with by the uninitiated. That is, unless your names are Andrew Menzies and Bob Woolsey and the characters you will be playing are basically yourselves and the lines you’ll be saying have all been written by yourself, for yourself.

In that case, fly at ‘er.

But how close are these characters the real gentleman themselves? Our intrepid behind the scenes documentarian, Jenny Wilkinson set to find out just that:

S2 Behind the Scenes – In the Beginning

bob — Mon, 02 May 2011 16:46:14 +0000

Where does a web series come from, you ask? Well, in this particular case, from a sexual identity crisis coupled with a penchant for comedy writing and a pretty decent friendship. An okay friendship. A tolerable friendship? This is our first in a series of behind the scenes videos about the making of season 2 produced by the lovely Jenny Wilkinson of Redbud Films. Jenny’s a very sly documentary filmmaker and one hell of a likable gal.

This first episode takes us back to when we first imagined of world where Bob and Andrew existed. Well, another more comedic world anyway.

Season 2 of the Web Series

andrew — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:08:10 +0000

They’re two of our best pals and collaborators, and today, we’re happy to give you a sneak preview for what’s in store in season two of “Bob & Andrew”.

You can follow them both on Twitter – @dborrowtime (Darren) and @Opamatic (Keith)

Season one got some great reviews from The Georgia Straight, Web Series Today and The Watch List. Production is underway on seven brand new episodes. We’re looking forward to sharing the new material with you this spring!

Andrew Menzies – A Review

bob — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:04:59 +0000

Last night in a small comedy club in the basement of a bar in Gastown, Vancouver, bobandandrew.com’s very own Andrew Menzies took the stage to spit some jokes. In the process, the young comedian effectively did stand-up for the first time. No doubt a very significant event in Andrew’s life. I’m sure it probably ranks somewhere between becoming self aware and hearing his mother swear for the first time.

Guilt and Comedy is a newer comedy event in town and is run by the ever beautiful and talented Lauren Martin along with her co-host, the also beautiful Kate Lumsdon. If last night was any indication, this is a comedy night that will pretty much let anyone perform. In the span of only a couple hours I saw a veteran of the Vancouver comedy scene, a beat cop turned poet who issued poetic citations, a rather angry homosexual comedian, a clown lady and sketch comedy from none other than Jackie Blackmore of “The Skinny.” Oh, and Andrew Menzies. But don’t get me wrong, folks, this eclectic gathering of talent was not only interesting but enjoyable.

Of Andrew’s stand-up this reviewer can only say that it was pretty much exactly what I would assume a sexual experience with Andrew would be like. It was extremely brief, Morgan Freeman was referenced, there was a lot of laughter, no eye contact was made and Andrew never took his pants off. All in all, a mildly charming experience. The audience certainly seemed to enjoy it. My only advice for Mr. Menzies would be to prepare some more jokes next time. No sooner had he taken the stage when he was already thanking everyone for being there and scampering off. If he ever manages to sustain longer than 90 seconds of an act, the comedy world better look out!

We here at bobandandrew.com will keep you fully up to date on all of Andrew Menzies activities because, well, you know, it’s his website too.

In all seriousness, congratulations Andrew. I know this is something that you’ve been wanting to try for a long time. You did a great job and I’m quite proud of you.

If you get a chance, go check out Guilt and Comedy. It’s every Wednesday night at Guilt & Co. located just below Chill Winston by the Gassy Jack statue in Gastown.
