Funnyman Jimmy O. Yang got a huge Toronto welcome, selling-out three shows at Meridian Hall as part of his YANG BIG & TALL TOUR! Yang, known best for his work on Silicon Valley, Crazy Rich Asians, Space Force, 2 Broke Girls, and more recently Interior Chinatown, has built a very loyal fanbase over the past decade spannding Stand Up Comedy, Film and Television.
The Los Angeles-based star received a bit of support on the Toronto leg of his tour, seeing friends Ronny Chieng, Leslie Liao, and MC Jin come out to join him on stage, before leaving the audience in stitches with his hour long set.
Some very special guests also were in the audience Friday night, including Chinese Pop sensation G.E.M., who brings her I AM GLORIA Tour to Coca-Cola Coliseum next week. She is widely regarded as one of the top Artists in Asia. Above that, I am a huge fan of the Songbird, who also happens to be a talented Multi-instrumentalist and Songwriter.
We are thrilled to have met O. Yang, his father Richard, MC Jin and G.E.M. This truly is a who’s who of Asian talent! O. Yang is such a class act, so kind to take time out for a snap, along with his dad whom he has been enjoying Toronto with, including some Dim Sum at Moon Palace and late night bites at New Ho King! The two even made time for fun in to Niagara Falls, in an action-packed visit!
Some quick highlights:

Prime Video announced today the start of production for Vitrerie Joyal, the previously announced Amazon Original series from one of Quebec’s favourite comedians, Martin Matte. The series will launch on Prime Video in 2026.
“This project is very personal and important to me. I’m thrilled to bring this story, inspired by my father’s life, to life. Vitrerie Joyal will be a dramatic comedy, and even very dramatic in parts. I’ve rarely drawn so deeply within myself to write,” says Martin Matte. “I’m thrilled to be working with Prime Video to share this tale of a quintessentially Quebec family with audiences.”
The comedy-drama, Vitrerie Joyal, takes us to the heart of Quebec in the ’90s, a pivotal period when the province oscillated between tradition and modernity. Through the destiny of a first-generation Quebec entrepreneur, who started from nothing to build a prosperous business, an entire era is revealed, between ambition, hope and disillusionment.
The series will be filmed entirely in Montreal between May and July, starring Martin Matte in a role inspired by his father, and showcasing local talent both in front of and behind the camera, with the full cast set to be announced at a later date. The production team includes over 150 actors and members of the Quebec film industry. Vitrerie Joyal is written by Martin Matte in collaboration with his collaborator François Avard, and co-produced by Encore and Matte TV for Amazon MGM Studios.
“Vitrerie Joyal is a funny, poignant and locally-relevant story that represents Prime Video’s ongoing commitment to our Quebec audience,” said Brent Haynes, Head of Originals, Canada, Amazon MGM Studios. “Martin Matte is a uniquely talented and brilliant creator whose vision and personal connection to this story will deliver a series that’s both joyful entertainment and authenticity to our viewers.”
The series continues the investment in Quebec storytelling by Prime Video, including previous series and specials LOL: Qui rira le dernier?, Nuit Blanche, Pendant ce temps en cuisine, Pour un soir seulement, L’ultime gala and Elisabeth Rioux: sans filtre.
Since 2015, Amazon MGM Studios has commissioned over 60 Amazon Original series and films in Canada, including The Man in the High Castle and Upload in British Columbia; The Boys, Reacher, and The Expanse in Ontario; Tales from the Loop in Manitoba; as well as parts of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Sticky, Three Pines, and The Voyeurs in Quebec.
Poised for a breakthrough year, Juno Award-nominated feel-good duo Crash Adams return with energetic pop anthem “Karaoke” out now via Warner Music Canada / Warner Records. As their first release of 2025, it has all the makings of a major smash for the pair—aka Rafaele Massarelli and Vince Sasso—and affirms their “Artist To Watch” status.
Watch the accompanying music video HERE:
“Karaoke” shuffles straight to the center of the dancefloor. A thick bassline thumps in between handclaps decked out in glittery disco vibes. Funky guitar underlines the immediately irresistible refrain as the guys issue a cheeky invitation, “Let’s do karaoke on the west side. I want to hit every note with you.” It climaxes with an impossible-to-shake chant.
Meanwhile, the accompanying visual is every bit as vibrant and vital as the track itself. “Karaoke” lives up to its name, and you’ll definitely be singing along with Crash Adams! .
About the single, the band shared, “At its core, ‘Karaoke’ is about letting go and having fun, but as we wrote it, we realized it also reflects the chemistry between two people. Singing together—hitting the highs and lows—became a metaphor for connection—how music pulls people together and creates moments you don’t want to end.”
With the release of their debut EP Crashing Into Your Living Room, Vol. 1, the band continued to reach new heights, amassing more than 10 million YouTube subscribers and 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. The pop hitmakers have captivated fans around the globe – touring across North America, Dubai, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines – while being named one of the top artists on TikTok Canada (2023) and earning a Juno Nomination for Group of the Year (2025).
Crash Adams’ music has the same kind of mood-lifting power as a hit of pure dopamine. Their cinematic, larger-than-life songs relay a potent, effective mix of adrenaline, nostalgia, and hard-earned gratitude. The duo have an impressive knack for storytelling, citing art-pop acts like The 1975 and country music acts like Dan + Shay as their inspiration for writing tracks that tug at listeners’ heart strings and remind them how beautiful daily experiences can be, given the right framing.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of “Azizam”. A Persian term of endearment that means “my dear” or “my beloved,” Ed’s new song is a return to joy, to light, to love and to fun!
“Azizam” began as a meeting of minds in the studio with Swedish/Iranian producer Ilya Salmanzadeh (Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Ellie Goudling, Sam Smith). Driven by Ed’s relentless curiosity they soon realised how much Persian and Irish folk music have in common and how only Ed could set those influences in a pop context. The result is a hedonistic technicolor call to action to live the moment “in between the dancing lights” on the dancefloor until the Sun rises. A celebration of cross-cultural collaborations brought to life, this rhythmic pop song is about the universality of emotion.
Ed said…“Even though it’s completely different to anything that I’ve ever done before, Azizam feels familiar to me. I wanted to create a party atmosphere in a song and Ilya Salmanzadeh, who I worked with on the track, helped bring that to life. He was so inspiring to work with.”
In the video accompanying the single release, Ed embarks on a journey across the US and UK with a pink, heart-shaped balloon in tow. He takes in the sights of New York from an iconic yellow taxi, cruises through Los Angeles in a classic open-top car, and braves the elements in rural Massachusetts. Along the way, he leads a street party in New Orleans and makes stops in Boston and Nashville. And, of course, no trip would be complete without a visit to his beloved Ipswich Town FC. Watch Here
