It was a red carpet-worthy evening Thursday as This Hour Has 22 Minutes came to Ottawa for a special anniversary taping in front of an audience peppered with politicians up for a good laugh, at their own expense.
The sold-out event, part of the Cracking-Up the Capital comedy festival for mental health awareness, was held in the theatre at Algonquin College. Mark Critch, Susan Kent, Shaun Majumder, Mary Walsh and Cathy Jones were all there for the taping, normally done in Halifax.
“It was wonderful,” Official Opposition leader Tom Mulcair, who attended with his wife, Catherine Pinhas, told Around Town after the show. “The beauty of 22 Minutes is it’s good satire, that it treats everyone with equal humour and disdain. We had a ball being here.”
It was a red carpet-worthy evening as This Hour Has 22 Minutes came to Ottawa for a special anniversary taping in front of an audience peppered with politicians up for a good laugh, as part of the Cracking-Up the Capital comedy festival for mental health.
The live taping offered the audience a better understanding of how the CBC TV comedy show comes together, how much work goes into it, and how truly talented the cast is, even when the cameras aren’t rolling. “It’s the lightheartedness of the extraneous moments, when they’re ad-libbing,” said Mulcair. “They’re extraordinarily funny people.”
He gave both thumbs up to the political impersonation of him by Critch. As well, Mulcair appears in a very funny skit that also includes Nova Scotia NDP MP Peter Stoffer and Justice Minister Peter MacKay, also from Nova Scotia. It was done Wednesday on Parliament Hill, near the end of the day. “They (22 Minutes) worked hard because there were a lot of different shots,” Mulcair added.
Attendees also included Louise Bradley, president and CEO of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, George Weber, president and CEO of the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group, prominent Royal Ottawa psychiatrist Dr. Raj Bhatla, Senator Jim Munson, Ottawa Liberal MPP John Fraser and Ottawa city councillors Mark Taylor, Tim Tierney and Allan Hubley, honorary chair of the festival.
In her brief remarks on stage, Bradley gave a special shout out to Walsh for her support as a mental health advocate.
