Janelle Niles: Why Canada needs more pointed political comedy
Janelle Niles is a Black, Mi'kmaw, two-spirited comedian who’s been bringing her sharp humour to stages around Canada for the past few years. Now, she’s one of eight comedians featured in “Rez Comedy,” the first stand-up comedy film featuring all Indigenous Canadian comics. Janelle sits down with Tom to talk about the film and her life in comedy, from being the class clown in school to becoming a “progressive edgelord” on stage.
