A comedy writer will be poking fun at everything Canadian in Lake Country next week.

Alex Huntley, 32, is a writer at Canadian satire media outlet The Beaverton and co-author of The Beaverton Presents Glorious And/or Free: The True History of Canada.

After dealing with fake news (especially with vaccinations) for years as a public health officer, Huntley turned to write comedy; poking fun at politicians, history, the media and just about everything we call Canadian as his civic duty.

91裸聊视频淚 just had this draw to exposing problems in the public service in a humorous tone like what happened with the Phoenix pay system,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淭here was a certain amount of cynicism that I had to turn into art, which was satire.91裸聊视频�

Huntley, from Kingston, Ont., will present excerpts from his book at Creekside Theatre, Oct. 27.

The presentation will also have jokes and a PowerPoint presentation to give off a professor/lecture vibe.

91裸聊视频淭his is actually the first time I will actually give a presentation to an audience who has paid a ticket, so I91裸聊视频檓 like 91裸聊视频榳hat the hell is going on?91裸聊视频� It91裸聊视频檚 fantastic, but I91裸聊视频檓 more of a writer91裸聊视频� I91裸聊视频檝e never done any physical comedy,91裸聊视频� Huntley said.

91裸聊视频淭his is more of a Canadian history lecture where you think I91裸聊视频檓 a professor but I91裸聊视频檓 really not,91裸聊视频� he said.91裸聊视频淚t is kind of like a news reporting on top of some other jokes, I do break the fourth wall a little bit, but it is kind of like a history professor sitting down.91裸聊视频�

Huntley91裸聊视频檚 influenced by the earlier versions of an angry Rick Mercer, he said, and satirist Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver91裸聊视频檚 Travels.

91裸聊视频淚 just like smart-ass comedy,91裸聊视频� he said.

The show will also traverse darker parts of Canadian history.

At The Beaverton, authors try to have a mix of topics and the stories are told differently depending on the platforms.

For his novel, he said history is more difficult to broadcast to a mixed audience.

91裸聊视频漌e had to get it (right) for people who like history and the story of their nation but as well as the problems and the hilarity that goes along with it, so it goes right from the beginning to the future in the book, and yes there is an Alanis Morissette reference.91裸聊视频�

Some fan favourite jokes are ones like 91裸聊视频渢he last spike was driven in by the first white guy to ever perform labour on the CPR,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淲e have an IKEA catalogue from the sawed huts from the Vikings up in Newfoundland, called VIKEA,91裸聊视频� he said.

The presentation will also poke fun at Vimy Ridge, visiting the historical moment in Canadian history during the First World War by making fun of how it was documented.
