Abstract
(Marketwire - Oct. 12, 2012) - The Calgary Social Media Breakfast (SMBYYC) is pleased to announce Zoey Duncan, Derek Wilken and Steele Duncan as the October SMBYYC speakers:
Derek has been a comic for 25 years and has taught and mentored wannabes for 15 years. He will tell you those that can't... teach others who shouldn't. As the founder of the CHEERS project and the creative director of ZEDS, Derek has put more than 1,000 ordinary people on stage at comedy clubs where more than 100,000 have laughed. Derek gained notoriety in the Twittersphere during the 2012 provincial election by making fun of all parties in 140 characters or less. He is a humour columnist and fills his politics and sports blogs with jokes more often than Alberta changes governments. For a good rhyme... call Derek.
Zoey is a writer and Twitter nut who puns more than any woman ought to. She began blogging in earnest in 2008 with a vegetarian food blog inspired by a cleanse that made her dream about bacon. In the 2011-12 blogging season, Zoey wrote more than 1,000 blog posts about Calgary, some of which were read. Zoey performed stand-up comedy first at the age of 12, and if you know any tween girls, you'll understand how funny she was. Since then, Zoey has performed in comedy clubs, bars and schools, and has earned great abs by laughing at her own jokes, even when nobody else will.
