John Wing is a comedian and writer and all-around good guy--and also not someone whose path would have crossed with Joe's before our politics got turned up side-down (he's a liberal progressive! And a Canadian!). In this conversation, John and Joe cover a lot of ground, ranging from how both sides have a problem with "decreeing," rather than listening, how to square comedy and culture with our collective political life, and whether the conversation around "cancel culture" actually comes down to consequences.

Lots to cover on this one including the reason why Johnny Carson was always such an ultimate goal for comedians of all stripes, how music ended up playing such a huge role in John's career, some of the differences in performing in Canada and the United States and, as per usual, some Toronto Maple Leafs banter.

Returning by popular demand to the Winnipeg Comedy Festival once again, John Wing has more than secured his reputation as a stellar performer and true renaissance man in the world of comedy. A seasoned vet of the stand-up world, Wing has long been one of Canada's most original and consistently irreverent comedic voices. Not only that, he has also inexplicably found time in his busy schedule to write several books and collections of poetry in his down time, while being one of the most sought-after, witty, and razor-sharp joke writers in North America. He also has over 200 television appearances under his belt, including six Tonight Shows and nine Just for Laughs galas. J.D. Renaud spoke to John about the nomadic life of a traveling comic, the challenge of writing material with deadlines looming on the horizon, and the debate surrounding whether or not stand up comedy can be considered 'art'.
