In this episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I’m joined by my longtime friend and comedy legend, Harland Williams.

Known for his unique humor and roles in iconic films like Dumb and Dumber and Half Baked, Harland brings his trademark wit and thought-provoking insights to the podcast.

We dive into a wide-ranging discussion about the state of comedy today, challenges comedians face breaking into the industry, Canadian humor, and the influence of social media on the comedy landscape.

We also get personal, touching on everything from the nuances of comedic acting to our experiences performing overseas in places like Beirut. Harland opens up about his political beliefs, and the evolving dynamics within the comedy community. Of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Harland if it didn’t have a healthy dose of goofiness and plenty of laughs.
