McSweeney’s List (6 August 2025)
I knew this day and article were coming, but it's still super weird. It's the anniversary of my Dad’s death, which is a super weird thing to celebrate, but would perhaps be an even stranger thing to forget. This year marks ten years since his passing. Ten years.

The Heckling Show
Tucked upstairs on the ever-touristy St. Paul Street in Old Montreal, is one of the safest comedy rooms in town. Well, sort of.
