Comedy has always been a popular genre, and sometimes all we need to unwind at the end of the day is a good chuckle. Indeed, Mike Critch’s Canadian comedy is the ideal illustration of this. After the humorous season one conclusion in April 2022, Son of a Critch is ready to unleash its second season.
The Canadian programme centres on the life of Mark Critch, an eleven-year-old kid, and is based on Critch’s early years in his actual life. The real Mark Critch also portrays the fictional Mark’s father Mike Critch, a radio station reporter, in this semi-autobiographical programme.
Mark, who is almost teenage and attending junior high school in St. John’s, is struggling to make friends as he grows up in a difficult household in the 1980s in a small Newfoundland town. In order to make new friends and be social, he uses his comic timing and sense of timing to make self-deprecating comments at the appropriate times while navigating through his academic life.
Due to the town’s size and the existence of the small-town lifestyle, which is frequently tranquil and self-centered, the world of Critch has been characterised as humorous, little, and frequently quite limited. He makes an effort to comprehend the complexities of relationships with friends, adolescents, families, and, most significantly, with love and loss.
The production of the performance in 2018 only involved Critch publishing a memoir about his early years in Newfoundland and how they influenced him in the future. Tim Auliffe suggested that the show should be made as a stand-alone show after reading the memoir. The show was conceptualised and dramatised once the idea had been conceived.
The series consists of 13 episodes, each of which features plenty of laughs as well as sad situations that frequently keep viewers engaged and cause emotional ups and downs. On January 4, 2022, the first episode of Season One aired.
The cast of the musical includes Daisy Harris as Tina, Claire Rankin as Mary Critch (Mark’s mother), Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as little Mark Critch, Mark Critch as Mike Critch, and Sophia Powers as Fox, the main character. Andrew Barnsley is the show’s producer, and the production took place in Newfoundland.
