In this episode, Ron flips the script on comedian and actor Shaun Majumder. Shaun reveals his “dark secret” about where he was really born, growing up brown in a tiny white Newfoundland town, why nicknames like “Packy” and “Mowgli” weren’t as simple as they sound, and how tense nights in a small trailer and an awkward family reunion in Mississauga shaped the funny, driven performer we see today.
From Christmas concerts and cafeteria bombs, to Second City and stand-up, this is the real Shaun story.
