Chris Nyarady is a podcaster and entertainer who graduated from the University of New Brunswick where he studied multimedia and theatre. After spending a few years in Halifax where he immersed himself in the comedy scene, Chris moved to Vancouver in order to peruse a career in animation. Being a passionate pop culture junky and self-described “geek,” Chris also produced and hosted Geeks versus Nerds Vancouver, the Vancouver branch of a live comedy podcast he was heavily involved with in Halifax. Geeks versus Nerds is a debate/comedy show that has existed in Vancouver for 7 years, has featured over 100 panelists, and has been recognized as one of the best podcasts in Vancouver as part of the Westender's Best of City awards in 2017. Chris' Living Library session will discuss the unique trails and tribulations in producing a monthly comedy show within the “geek scene.” It will also be about how to foster a community through the shared love of pop-culture, and how to give an opportunity for passionate individuals to perform and speak publicly who otherwise wouldn't have a platform to be heard.
