Released , on Comedy Dynamics.

Jon Gagnon balances minor domestic gripes against much heavier personal history. Alongside bits on decorative soap, 3-in-1 body wash, marriage, Canada-versus-America rivalries, and what Donald Trump might sound like as a liberal, he turns to growing up around addiction and waking up from the coma that pushed him into stand-up. Directed by Mathew Collings and released by Comedy Dynamics in July 2026, the 42-minute special was filmed at Vancouver’s Underground Comedy Club, where Gagnon performs regularly. Before taping his debut special, the University of Alberta engineering graduate spent years working Canadian club stages while creating the animated series Stickman, hosting the late-night show This Month Tonight, and appearing on CBC’s Canada’s Smartest Person.
