THE ELEVATOR SHOW
It always makes me smile when people come up to me on the street and ask about The Elevator Show. For those that don't know, 2 seasons ago, I did 12 segments from a residential elevator - put on service. I have been thinking about that idea for decades and it was so much fun to finally bring it to life. I always tell people, no matter how crazy your idea is, it never hurts to try it, providing it does not hurt anyone. :) The only scary moment was when we had a 6-member dance troupe doing a number inside the open cabin and the elevator started to shake. That was the only moment when I started to question the logistics of the whole "elevator" concept. lol Anyway, please enjoy one of my favourite instalments of The Elevator Show (below).

BIOGRAPHY
Ieden Wall is a best-selling poet, comic, journalist, host and TV producer.
At 19, Wall was hired to be Rogers Community 10’s man-on-the-street reporter. Wall’s segment called Off the Wall became one of the most popular segments on the station’s youth magazine. He won 2 Ontario Cable Awards for his off-beat reporting.
​
In the late 90's Wall created, wrote and produced a reality/comedy web series called The Dream Chaser. The show was in development at FOX REALITY for 6 months but was not picked up. He did however produce a one-off TV Special with Mayor David Miller for SUNTV in Canada.
​
The Dream Chaser became Make a Wysh, another reality/comedy series created, hosted and produced by Wall. In 2001, Wall did a 12-week run at Second City's Tim Simms Playhouse,. His shows were a hybrid of his live stand-up material and screenings of The Dream Chaser and Make a Wysh. After attending one of his shows, Mark Breslin signed the comedian to a representation agreement and pitched MAKE A WYSH to a handful of Canadian broadcasters.
Wall's first book of poetry called The Wisdom of Wall sold over 30, 000 copies in its first printing and has been the recipient of numerous awards.
Wall produced a collection of poetry films from his book which aired on TV, in Canada, Australia and the UK.
Wall was a regular contributor to The Canadian Jewish News.
A lover of Kabbalah, Wall always makes time for learning and teaching alike.
His vision as a producer, coupled with his on-air charisma makes him one of Canada’s most dynamic media figures.
The former Program Director at CFRB 1010 Steve Kowch said, "Wall has an uncanny knack to get people to come on his show and reveal deep secrets and personal details. He is one of our country's great conversationalists."
​In 2019, Wall created Canadian Jewish TV, the first weekly Jewish program on OMNI TV in 30 years. In 2023, Wall rebranded Canadian Jewish TV as JWeekly Canada. The program attracts a cumulative weekly audience of 120K viewers, making it one of the most popular talk shows on Omni TV,
