For those who may or may not know my husBean @cpethompson has stage four cancer de la colon. He is being well treated and cared for by the folks at Mount Sinai. We are beyond grateful to family, friends, chosen family, acquaintances, coworkers and strangers for their kindness, support, help, butt jokes, love and gumption that they share with our little family on this fight. We will post updates as they come in but from the man himself “he has every intention of being absolutely fine.” Please keep us abreast of the goings on in YOUR lives as we become slightly more reclusive in the weeks to come. ❤️ Description: a man stands in a medical gown, neon yellow trainers, and kermit the frog socks striking a fancy fashion pose in a hospital.

I turned 40 on July 31st and decided to throw a funeral for my 30s complete with New Orleans style street parade. I do love a witchy gothic rebirth, I do. My 30s were brilliant, brutal, beautiful, bountiful and boundary-full. I experienced many ego deaths, death deaths, career highs and lows, got married, had spiritual, ethical and character awakenings and realizations, battled anxiety, came out, purged and got purged, sought truth and sat in crunchy/uncomfortable (but necessary growth) Hell I even adopted a doctor (our rescue dog is a doctor if you didn’t know). Community, compassion and curiosity are and will continue to be my goals in this timeline. I will inevitably mess it up but I will die trying to pursue what I owe to myself and what we owe to each other. I am bone deep grateful for everyone who had a lead, supporting, recurring, cameo, dayplayer or background appearance in this past decade. You shaped me more than you could possibly know. I will keep trying to make good by you, me, and the planet. To everyone who sent a message, card (thank you @cpethompson for the best coordinated mail effort in the history of time!), who came to the funeral party, or held me in their thoughts, I felt it and have spend the better part of the day weeping with gratitude and joy for your actions. How lucky I am to have such incredible humans in my life, continuously inspiring me, making me laugh, holding me when my feelings get too big. I get to witness all of you and my heart is profoundly full because of it. Thank you and I love you! Death comes for us all so we might as well live deep. Here’s to living bravely! Special shout out to the Thompson-Winterton-Carambelas-Darling Death Band, @wendy_mckeraghan_comeau and Doug for the cake and the Death Maidens @thekarenparker @elise_bailey_ @jennifergoodhue @thee_uh @jaredscotthansen @mom2makskoandpark @dinocarambelas Aunt Ann and Vicky for the delicious party support! 🖤☠️🖤

I can’t believe they are canceling the Comedy Writing and Performance program at Humber College. I would not be where I am today without it. At Humber I met so many great peers and teachers who are all still active in the industry today. I met the brilliant @duke.robin Mel Johnson and Allan Guttman who encouraged me to get into @thesecondcity where I would train at the @secondcitytcto (eventually go on to be the head of the A-E improv programs), and have a dream come true becoming a member of three @thesecondcityto Mainstage casts and @shethepeoplesc . None of this would have happened without Humber’s comedy program or the empowerment from this extraordinarily talented staff. I got to parody the program head @aclarkcomedy to his face with a year’s end presentation lampooning (with love), all of the staff. He taught us where our Canadian comedy roots began, endowing us with respect for the people whose shoulders we stand on today. @brad.reed.77 would go on (and continue to be) my sketch troupe’s number one fan. When he showed us Nichols and May it changed my life. His kindness when my anxiety reared its head during midterms was met with compassion and a relentless commitment to meeting me (and all of his students), where they were at instead of where the system needed them to be. This changed how I approached others. @lustymannequins owe you a chicken parm on a bun and a diet Dr Pepper soon! Where else would I have been able to play Lucille Ball and a funeral director in the same show? Fun fact when we were filming the I Love Lucy sketch, we got interrupted because neighbours thought we were filming a vintage porno. Where else would @roxma16 and I have been able to have the most grotesquely hilarious food fight for a final exam? Or would @paul.lillakas and I have been able to solve the world’s problems during the commute? Oh the many meals at the Greek Texan, the defying fear, embracing courage, the finding your misfits and the late night study sessions at the asylum on the lake. Humber, so many great people have been a part of this program. You can’t work on a Canadian show without running into an alumni. Ending this access is a damned shame.

So chuffed to be a part of “Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen”. @svbigh Met some of the industry’s finest humans (did not get photos of them all). Holy hell Canada has tons of top tier talent! This show is beautiful and terrifying, just like marriage. Binge it now on @netflixca Defferent Caterer might be my favourite role title so far. 🖤🍷💍
