From mikeward.ca: "Mike Ward is an award winning bilingual comedian based out of Montreal, Canada. He has performed at every major comedy festival. Selling-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, Montreal’s Just For Laughs, Toronto’s JFL 42, and the Montreux Comedy Festival. Despite being too dirty for traditional television his stand-up has aired on tv in 20 countries; including Showtime (USA), HBO (Canada), France 2 (France), Comedy Central (South Africa), RTS Deux (Switzerland) & Network 10 (Australia) just to name a few. His special “Mike Ward Infamous” can currently be streamed on Amazon Prime Video in the US & UK." Ben and Mike have a great conversation about the popularity of comedy in Quebec vs the rest of Canada, cancel culture, Mike's run in with the Humans Rights Tribunal, how to stay relevant and innovative in the new age of Comedy and his new special, "Mike Ward: Infamous" available for free on Youtube (Link in the comments). Mike Ward was very gracious in talking to me about all this stuff and it's amazing to meet comedians in Canada that have broke the code.  Enjoy this episode of The Ben Bankas Podcast!
