Over the past year, we’ve followed our unemployed columnist, comedian John Hastings, as he explores the ups and downs of Toronto culture. Now, he’s finally gotten himself a job as the headlining act at Yuk Yuks downtown, and it seemed only crucial that we ask him about how he’s preparing for the big day. Or, as he’s typically known for, not preparing.

EPISODE 18: Seriously Sober.
First off, we all are aware of the fact that I love drinking. Not in that funnel guzzling, beer pong playing, blonde waitress humping kind of way – I am a respectable man who likes booze because it makes me feel like an adult. An adult who needs to drink enough to encourage pissing off a bridge onto a friend who is pissing onto a car under said bridge. Recently however, something started to go off track. I will not bore you with details, but after partaking in a 3-day hangover, I thought it was time for a break.

Episode 17: Moving up.
This summer, I have been tossed out of a cannon and faced with some amazing personal and professional successes. I got to go to the Just For Laughs festival in both Toronto and Montreal. While there, I loved, lived and competed in the Homegrown Comedy Competition, which I was lucky enough to win. But this was not the moment I will tell my grandchildren about.
