Born and raised in nearby Fredericton, John Batt is the brain behind the popular instagram account @canada.gov.ca, curating stories from the obscure and often bizarre side of Canadian history and culture. The tales and memes ride that sweet line between education and entertainment, recounting yarns about queer musical resistance in '70s Toronto bars, celebrating the inspirational FERO dumpsters, and skewering greedy Galen Weston. He's taken his one-man show—a cross between a Ted Talk and a couple drinks with a good buddy—on the road all over the eastern half of Canada and counts Canadian music heavyweights like Springhill's Anne Murray and Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo among his loyal followers. It's not a podcast; it's not stand-up comedy. It's @canada.gov.ca.

*Please be advised this performance contains frequent use of strong language and is intended for mature audiences.
