Oren joined us at the back of Grumpy’s to talk about connecting with audiences in Montreal and online, the rush of comedy and figuring out the tempo of a headlining set of comedy. Speaking of headlining: Oren’s got his first ever headlining set at the Comedy Nest coming up on April 26th presented by <em>On Da Clock</em> so <a href=\"https://comedynest.com/blog/oren-shbiro-sunday-april-26th-2026/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">you should probably buy tickets for that here</a>.</p><p>Oren is one of Montreal’s best working comedians and honestly if you take away one thing from this podcast it’s that you should probably go out and see more local comedy. Oh hey – did we mention that our own Chris Venditto will be performing a headlining showcase at <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16mfEra5H6/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Comedy Nest on May 31st as well</a>?
