One of Mark Critch's earliest acting gigs was in a Newfoundland tourist production with displaced fishery workers. Since then, he has found numerous opportunities to take his show on the road. In his latest work, the star of CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes revisits significant moments from his career and the country’s history, revealing lesser-known anecdotes along the way. A wishful rumor from Mark's father leads to his big break, while two bottles of Scotch almost get him expelled from a secret Canadian airbase in the UAE. For those curious about securing an interview with the Prime Minister and Bono on the same night, Critch suggests a trip to the 2003 Liberal Convention. His behind-the-scenes access includes humorous encounters with charismatic and notorious politicians like Justin Trudeau, Stephen Harper, Paul Martin, and Jean Chrétien, as well as celebrities like Conrad Black, Pamela Anderson, and Robin Williams. Remember when MP Carolyn Parrish kicked George W. Bush Jr. in an interview? Or when Critch asked Trudeau about the best place to smoke pot on Parliament Hill before sharing a joint? There’s much more to these stories than you might think. Critch's journey, filled with mischief, ultimately leads him back home.
