Favourite shows (written by Rob Baker):


  1. Workin Moms: I wrote for season 3 of this show, and it was incredible. Spending 7 months working with Catherine Reitman was so fun.
  2. Crack: This one person show at Rhubarb Festival was a long time ago, but it was so formulative. I still think about it almost every day.
  3. If I Could #Throwback Time: This was my first time directing a Second City show, and I had a blast.
  4. Baroness Von Sketch Show: I loved every moment I got to be a performer on this show. It was by far the kindest and funnest set Ive ever been on.
  5. Body Buds: Adam Cawley and I created this for CBC. It was about 2 fitness gurus from the 90s trying to make a comeback. It still makes me laugh so much.
  6. Tonights Canceled: This was my first show directing Stacey McGunnigle and Jason DeRosse. Its always intense and passionate and loving. And this show was a Now Magazine Top Ten comedy of the year.
  7. Well Be Better Tomorrow: This was my second show with Stacey and Jason. Such a different process from the first, but still an awesome show.
  8. Guidance: This show about three terrible guidance counselors was created with Pat Smith and Adam Cawley for Bite TV. We were in (so wonderfully) over our heads.
  9. A Very Specific Place: Jan Caruana and I did a 1 hour set in a vintage store. Jan Caruana is most probably my favorite improviser to play with.
  10. Something Wicked Awesome: This Way Comes This was my favorite show as a performer at Second City. Now Magazine called this show a masterpiece.
  11. Bonspiel! Just the dumbest improv show with Alastair Forbes, Ashley Botting, Jan Caruana and James Gangl.
  12. The Condomy Tour We toured across Canada in Jann Ardens tour bus performing at universities. It was a co-pro with Second City and a condom company.
  13. About An Hour: This was a really rewarding show that Alex Hatz and I made, with Kerry Griffin and Jan Caruana. Just the most fun improv show.
  14. Some other fav shows/collaborators: Kris Siddiqi, Inessa Frantowski, Triplespeak, Nigel Downer, Party Hard Hard Party, Ken Hall, Rob Norman, The Romba Show, Nine Wines
