ICYMI - I commend unto you my most excellent podcast interview with break-out stand-up star Faris Hytiaa, the pride of Lethbridge, speaking about his Sudanese roots, Alberta identity, and the future of Canadian comedy. At a moment of both crisis in Sudan, and rising anti-immigrant rhetoric in Canada, this is a very timely listen. (Also includes comedy excerpts, if you need a good laugh today.)

An image of Sudanese-Canadian stand up Faris Hytiaa, in a black shirt buttoned over a white T, holding a microphone, and performing his stand-up comedy in front of a theatre curtain.
