Sickboy

A Comedian, His Mom And Her Dementia: Gavin Crawford


Listen Later

If laughter really was the best medicine, Gavin Crawford would have cured his mother of Alzheimer’s disease. As a son, his mother’s dementia has been devastating. As a comedian though… It’s been sort of funny. Honestly, how do you respond when your mom confuses you with her teenage crush and wants you to take her to the high-school dance? Well, you laugh. Because it’s the only thing you can do. This week the fellas are joined by Gavin as they chat about his new CBC podcast Let's Not Be Kidding. They cover the hardships of dealing with dementia, the stages of grief, the humour that exists in the experience and more.
