2025 was what my therapist calls a “plot heavy year”. Comedy helped me tell the stories, laugh, and try to make sense of it all. Grateful to everyone I’ve shared a stage with, and everyone who’s cheered me on. Looking forward to even more laughter in 2026.

Mother F$&ers is tomorrow, May 17, and you don’t want to miss this MF!
Jamal Watson is a comedian from Toronto’s west end with 300+ shows under his belt—and at least a few that went exactly as planned. Recently a new father, he’s performed at Comedy Bar and SoCap Theatre, delivering comedy that’s equal parts thoughtful, unpredictable, and now slightly sleep-deprived.
Find Jamal at @the_gucci_champion and grab your tickets now!

Who is your favourite kid?
Kristin Doucet - @kristindoucet - is the coproducer of Mother F$&ers. Armed with sharp wit, zero shame and no f&*%ks left to give, Kristin draws on life as a daughter of aging parents, a sometimes-good wife, and a not-half-bad mom to two teenagers. Kristin mines the chaos of menopause, marriage, motherhood and the mundane into hilarious storytelling with a self-depracting approach that would make Joan Rivers proud.
She is a rising star and you can catch her at Mother F$&ers this Sunday!

The next Mother F$&er is Jessica Rosenberg!
Jessica Rosenberg is a Toronto-based comedian who approaches the world with the wide-eyed optimism of a big dumb baby. But also with the neurosis of a 90 year-old Jewish man. She has performed all over North America and can be regularly seen doing standup in some of the most auspicious dark basements in this fine city.
Find her on Instagram at @jessicagbr and come see her at Mother F$&ers this Sunday, May 17, at 5pm!

We love dads too!
Matt Bee is a Toronto-based comedian who first tried standup at an open mic in 2007. It went well so he waited 18 years to do it again.
In 2025, now in his 40s with two kids, he thought, “What better time to jump back into the famously lucrative world of Canadian standup?”
Since then, Matt has been fortunate enough to perform several times at Comedy Bar and other stages around the city.
He is thrilled to be featured as a token male at the Mother F$&ers show!
Find him on Instagram at @mattbeecomedy and come see him at Mother F$&ers!
