Summary
Paul F. Tompkins welcomes the live people of Vancouver, BC and the people of the internet to this week's episode of Spontaneanation, recorded live from the famous Fox Cabaret! This week, Pauls special guest is Vancouver's legendary improv group The Sunday Service: Ryan Beil, Caitlin Howden, Kevin Lee, Aaron Read, and Taz Van Rassel! Paul chats with Caitlin about the childhood trauma that defined her as an artist, being raised in a small inuit village, and the proper disposal of sheep dogs. Paul and Caitlin are then joined by the entire Sunday Service to improvise a story set at Summer Camp. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!
The next live edition of Spontaneanation happens Saturday, August 6 at Largo at The Coronet! Join Paul & Eban as they welcome improvisors Dan Ahdoot, Tim Baltz and Tawny Newsome, and special interview guest Desmin Borges from Youre The Worst! Tickets are on sale now!

| 0:00.0 | Hello, Spontonians. It's Paul here. Before we begin the episode, I just wanted to give you a quick note about the sound. |
| 0:06.0 | The sound is not bad. It's just different. In the improv portion, we're using different microphones than we're using in the interview portion. |
| 0:14.2 | In the interview, we're using handheld mics, talking directly into them. |
| 0:17.8 | For the improv portion, we're using floor mics. These are mics that are mounted |
| 0:21.8 | on the floor that are just picking up all our voices. And so obviously the clarity is not quite the |
| 0:28.9 | same, but you can still hear everything that's going on in the improv. And it's still a very funny |
| 0:34.3 | episode that I think you'll enjoy. But just in case you feel like you might want to turn up the improv portion, just a couple notches, not too much, because at certain points, just a couple, we do use the handheld mics again, but it's not, it shouldn't blow your brain out of your ear or anything like that, which that's happened to people. So there you go. |
| 0:55.1 | Just know that after the second ad break, we switch to those floor mics, |
| 1:00.0 | so it's a difference in sound fidelity. |
| 1:04.1 | Okay? |
| 1:04.9 | With that said, enjoy this episode of Spontaney Nation recorded live at the Fox Cabaret |
| 1:10.3 | and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, |
| 1:12.3 | with special guests, The Sunday Service. |
| 1:46.9 | Thank you. Welcome to you. Welcome to you. Welcome to you. |
| 1:50.0 | Welcome. |
| 1:50.6 | Welcome. |
| 1:51.6 | Welcome all of ye to this place called Spontaneation. |
| 2:00.7 | What is it, though, if you had to say what it was? |
| 2:06.5 | People have pondered that for the centuries. |
| 2:12.1 | No one really knows what a show is, how it starts, how it comes to be, who decides if it continues |
| 2:21.4 | to happen or stops happening? Shows are like a force of nature. You know what nature is, |
| 2:28.9 | right? Lightning and shit? |
