  • Summary

  • For the past 30 years, on the last Sunday of every month, you could go to Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto and see the Nubian Comedy Revue — one of the top showcases for Black and racialized comedians in Canada. In the crowd, you might have even caught some celebrity guests, like Will Smith, Vivica A. Fox or the Toronto Raptors. Comedian Kenny Robinson has been producing the show since founding it back in the ‘90s. Now, a new documentary, “People of Comedy,” is celebrating the show’s 30-year history. Kenny sits down with guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about the Nubian Show’s legacy, how Canadian comedy is defined by our multiculturalism, and what sets Canadian comics apart from American comics. If you enjoy this conversation, you might also like Tom Power’s interviews with comedians Sugar Sammy or Hassan Phills.
