From his humble beginnings in sketch comedy with the Toronto branch of Second City to his rise to fame in SCTV and Hollywood film classics like Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Great Outdoors, and Uncle Buck, John Candy captivated audiences with his self-deprecating humour, emotional warmth, and gift for improvisation. Now, for the first time since Candy's tragic death, bestselling biographer Paul Myers tells the full story of the man behind the laughs. Drawing on extensive research and exclusive interviews with many of Candy's closest friends and colleagues, including Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Steve Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, and many more, John Candy: A Life in Comedy celebrates the comedian's unparalleled talent, infectious charm, and generosity of spirit. Through ups and downs, successes and failures, and struggles with anxiety and self-doubt, Candy faced the world with a big smile and a warm demeanor that earned him the love and adoration of fans around the world. I had the distinct pleasure of working with John on commercials, then going back to Second City and watching the whole gang make fun of the commercial. Hosting the second city talent when they hit Vancouver and shooting a TV pilot called Terry and the Tiger, where we took John salmon fishing on Vancouver Island.  Later that night,  he and hockey legend  Tiger Williams closed down all the bars. They still talk about it in Campbell River.

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star ReviewThis week on Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim are Reading Between the Guy-lines.From the books that first planted the seed for getting outdoors, to the dog-eared guides that live permanently in a rucksack, to the slightly sauce-splattered cookbooks that fuel campfire feasts, the pair chat about the words that shaped their camping journeys.Expect fond nostalgia, questionable culinary ambition, and the realisation that some “instruction manuals” are really just confidence boosters written by people far braver than us.It's a relaxed wander through campfire classics, practical pages, and the stories that make you want to zip up a tent, light a stove, and give it a go — even if you have to read the chapter twice first.Pop the kettle on. This one's a cosy listen.Books:The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook, Joshua Piven David BorgenichtThe Stars, The Snow, The Fire, John HainesTrees, Collins GemKnots, Collins GemMicro Adventures, Alistair HumphreysBritish Woodland, Ray MearsRecipes For Rogues, Off The Beaten PotThe Marlinspike Sailor, Hervey Garrett SmithCabin Porn, PenguinInto The Wild, Jon KrakauerWilderness Chef, Ray MearsFood From The Fire, Niklas EkstedtSAS Survival Gude, Collins GemOutdoor Survival Handbook, Ray MearsThe 10 Bushcraft Books, Richard GravesEdible Wild Plants For Beginners, Althea PressDISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.
