All Request Radio at Ottawa Fringe Festival

DJ Velvet Painting (The Velvet Duke) works a daring job at CKVD 995 FM — a radio station where the DJ sings the Top 10 songs that the audience and DJ discover together at the same time; the DJ won’t know the song titles or music ahead of time. As one of the few humans left in the industry, DJ Velvet Painting has held onto their job because they fulfill CRTC mandates for Canadian content and diversity. Will they keep their job or will ChatGPT claim that role too? The audience just might be the deciding vote

“Imagine your Spotify Top Artists decided like Family Feud!”

While it’s an improvised musical comedy show, the gentle audience engagement occurs at the top of the show. Specifically, the show starts after the audience submits made up song titles through an online form. They won’t be made to sing along, but they might want to anyway!
