The Crave Original performance documentary People of Comedy: Celebrating 30 Years of the Nubian Show, debuts on Crave April 9, 2025 This honours comedian Kenny Robinson’s iconic stand-up showcase, ‘The Nubian Show,’ which has fearlessly shaped Canadian comedy for 30 years.

HAPPY FACE offers a fresh perspective on a story that has been well-publicized, looking at “Happy Face Killer” Keith Hunter Jesperson through the lens of her daughter, Melissa Moore. Moore serves as a Producer on the Limited Series and is portrayed by Tony Award-winning Actress Annaleigh Ashford. Dennis Quaid also stars as Jesperson, and Toronto’s Khiyla Aynne plays Melissa‘s daughter Hazel.
Ashford and Aynne graced us with their presence at a special reception for the Series, held at luxurious Shangri-La Hotel, doing a Q&A with radio and podcast personality Jax Irwin, before the intimate audience. The duo embraced on the Red Carpet, also posing for photo ops with some of the activations set-up for the affair. Also spotted quiently in attendance was Aynne’s dear friend and The Baby-Sitters Club Co-Star Momona Tamada, who also is seen in HAPPY FACE as Eva.
The on-screen mother and daughter spoke about their bonding experience during filming, taking selfies together the first day they met. One thing is that they were very cognizant of the Series paying respect to the victims of these crimes, and this was one thing they took away from their experiencing filming this Series and also making them rethink how we consume True Crime.

Brilliant Comedian Matteo Lane brought his CAN’T STOP TALKING Tour to Toronto for not one, but two nights at Meridian Hall, selling out twice. Lane did an hour-long set filled with laughs, joking candidly about everything from a dalliance with a adult performer, to the time he was treated for an STD in Toronto while on tour with Aziz Ansari, his Sex Education teacher in grade 7, and recalling the start of his career when he felt like he had to come “out of the closet” every night.
The LGBT icon is a proud New Yorker, preferring to remain home during the week and tour on weekends, with plans to play Europe in the near future.
We are a huge fan of Lane, having come across his Comedy during the pandemic and we’ve been hooked ever since! We haven’t laughed this hard in forever and needed it!
Lane was so lovely to stop for a quick photo, confused if I was asking for a photo or a video!
