About this show

Based on the award-winning, best-selling memoir from Mark Critch (host of CBC's This Hour Has Twenty-Two Minutes), this is the hilarious and very real story of eleven-year-old Mark coming-of-age in St. John's, Newfoundland. It is a heartfelt window into the life of a child -much older inside than his eleven years - using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world.
