What do sappy Hallmark holiday movies, bellybutton odor, and “basic Canadian girl energy” have in common? They’re all hilarious joke fodder in Windsor, ON-born, Toronto, ON-based Connie Wang’s new YouTube comedy special Canadian Famous.
Though the show takes many comical twists and turns through an exploration of being “Canadian famous” – i.e., starring in TV series, commercials and, yes, even Hallmark holiday movies without ever being fully recognized – Wang uses the end of the hour-long standup to poignantly focus on her mother’s determination to learn English.
