I would like to say Chi-miigwetch to everyone who has helped me on my comedy journey: The Creator, creators, friends, and especially, my family, for they had to put up with me the most. Also, many thanks to all the open mics in Vancouver and across Turtle Island.

Created during grunt gallery’s 2023 Mount Pleasant Community Art Screen Digital Storytelling workshops. grunt gallery was founded in 1984 in Vancouver, BC with the vision to become an internationally renowned artist-run centre and further the practice of contemporary art. Through the exploration of our diverse Canadian cultural identity, we are able to offer public programming in the form of exhibitions, performances, artist talks, publications, and other special projects in the community. Our mandate is to inspire public dialogue by creating an environment conducive to the emergence of innovative, collaborative, and provocative contemporary art.
