Back live in the studio, Jon gives a quick rundown of the last No Jokes Barred show and gears up for Sunday's Roast Battle. After mouthing off too many times about how the Saint John Music scene is pretty much dead except for jam bands and acoustic guitar dudes, former Local FM station manager and local music fan, Brian Cleveland, comes on the show to set the record straight. They chat about Jon's memories from the old days before diving into some new local music. Recorded live Monday August 20 2018 9-10pm on Local 107.3FM.

The 2018 Fundy Fringe Festival is starting to get rolling in Saint John, NB so I thought I'd release the audio from Honey Garlic's third night during 2017's Fringe. It's not perfect and it's not finished, but it will surely be heralded by critics as a bold new direction for comedy.
Jon Forward’s darkly funny “Honey Garlic” story-telling show is all about the things most people would rather keep to themselves. It’s hard to dwell on old traumas when you can use them to make strangers laugh instead. Family, alcohol, death, drugs, porn, police and chicken wings.
